driven out of the police force. At the same time Hassanein was

debauchery. Hassanein was in denial at first, but then knocked Nafisa
down, kicked dirt on her and finally goaded her into drowning herself
to eliminate the scandal after he was forced to acknowledge her guilt.
This is the confrontation depicted on the poster. Then when it was too
late he regretted her death, thought about his own life, saw his own
world in ruins and jumped into the Nile himself.

promote the 1972 Youssef Chahine 102-minute color film The
Sparrow [al-asfour] starring Seif El Din, based on a story by
Lotfi al-Khawali with screenplay and dialogue by Lotfi al-Khawali and
Youssef Chahine and cinematography by Mostafa Imam. According to a
critics poll taken at the 2013 Dubayy International Film Festival this
is one of the 100 most important Arab films. Plot summary: This film
made in Algeria and Egypt is a reaction to the Arab loss of the 1967
war with Israel. It has a spirit of pride and patriotic conviction
where director Chahine attempts to show the war was lost from within
due to corruption and weakness in the ruling classes. In one of the
film's several narrative lines the character Baheyya [Mohsena Tewfik]
leads defiant demonstrations, rejects the defeat and demands that
Gamal Abdel Nasser return to the government after stepping down. The
sparrow motif symbolizes the brave and innocent Arab peoples who have
become victims of national and international circumstances.

of Love [shati al-gharam] starring Laila Mourad based on story and
screenplay by Henry Barakat with dialogue by Ali Al-Zarkani and

Egyptian mediterranean resort of Mersa Matruh provides a picturesque
setting for this romantic drama. Adel [Hussein Sedki] was a young man
who did not know the meaning of love. He spent his time at
racetracks, dance halls and in the arms of prostitutes. While on a
beach vacation at Mersa Matruh, Adel fell in love with a schoolteacher
named Laila [Laila Mourad] and asked her father for permission to
marry her. The father agreed and Adel took Laila with him back to
Cairo. Adel's aunt and her husband were surprised by his sudden
marriage, because the aunt had been planning for him to marry her
daugher Mona so she could use Adel's wealth to lift her family out of
bankruptcy. On the other hand Adel's mistress Soheir [Taheya
Cariocca] had also been hoping to marry him. The aunt devised a
scheme to disrupt the marriage by accusing Laila of being unfaithful
and she succeeded with it because Adel believed her. He sent Laila
back to her father in Mersa Matruh. However Adel then learned his
aunt was just after his money and that the accusation was false, so he
went to Mersa Matruh to correct the mistake and bring his wife back to
Cairo again.

This is a 27" x 39" Egyptian poster designed by an unknown artist to
promote the 1967 Salah Abouseif 111-minute black-and-white film The
Second Wife [الزوجة الثانية az-zawget at-tania] starring Soad Hosny based on a
story by Ahmed Rushdy Saleh with screenplay and dialogue by Mohammad
Mostafa Sami and Sa'd al-Din Wahba and cinematography by Abdelhalim
Nasr. Plot summary: A village mayor [Salah Mansour] fancies a young
woman named Fatma [Soad Hosny] in his village. There are two problems. First, his
present wife Hafiza [Sanaa Gamil] does not want him to take a second
wife, and second, the young woman the mayor desires already has a
husband Aboul-Eyli [Shukry Sarhan] with children and they are a happy family with
a lot of love for one another. The mayor does not care about these
things, because he is the corrupt bad guy who already has a
reputation for abusing and cheating his villagers. He forces the young
woman's husband to divorce her so she can marry him, which he does,
causing much pain and regret to himself, his wife and his
children. The mayor marries the divorced woman and takes her into his
home, but in a long series of comic evasive episodes she contrives
never to sleep with him. The mayor, who was already sick, eventually
dies. Fatma becomes a village hero for standing up for the
village people against the mayor in his schemes to take their land,
and after the mayor dies she returns to her husband, poor but
happy. This is a social realist film with lots of accurate detail
about life in an Egyptian village, directed by the late socialist
director Salah Abouseif (1915-1996). This film may be realistic for its details
about village life, but Fatma's successful evasion of the
mayor's designs is probably not as realistic as the film suggests.

This is a 27" x 39" Egyptian poster designed by Studio Adly and Abdel
Rahman to promote the 1964 81-minute Nour El-Demerdash black-and-white
film The Price of Freedom starring Mahmoud Moursy adapted for
cinema by Naguib Mahfouz from the 1948 play Montserrat by
Emmanuel Robles based on an Arabic translation done in Lebanon by
Sohail Idris. The screenplay was done by Lutfy El-Kholy and Tulba
Radwan and cinematography was by Masud Isa. The components of the
story are taken directly from the original play with changes of name
and locale to suit the Egyptian environment. Plot summary: During the
British occupation of Egypt (1882-1956) there was a secret
organization led by a young fighter named Ahmed Abdel Hafiz. The
organization was opposed to the occupying forces. The British
governor ordered an Egyptian officer to find the chief of the
organization quickly. If this could not be done it would be necessary
to arrest the first six people to pass on the street in front of the
office and kill them by firing squad. The officer was not able to
find the fighter so six people were arrested, including a cart driver,
a merchant who had left a dinner party for his wedding, a student
whose brother had died as a martyr during his resistance to the
occupation, a mother who was returning to her small children who had
no one but her and were waiting for her return at the time, and a
pretty girl who was singing a Sayed Darwish patriotic tune. The
randomly arrested bystanders were left alone with the Egyptian officer
and told they had one hour to persuade him to divulge the location of
Ahmed Abdel Hafiz. When this did not produce the desired results, the
British officer prepared to shoot the innocents, but before doing that
he shot and killed the Egyptian officer. The multiple venues where
this play has appeared in film and on stage were traced by Nehad
Selaiha for Al-Ahram Weekly on 20 February 2013.
