Neighborhood Girl [بنت الحتة] (Zahrat El-Ola) - (1946) Egyptian one-sheet

The Neighborhood Girl (1946) - (Zahrat El-Ola) Egyptian one-sheet

Pictured is a 27" x 39" original Egyptian stone litho one-sheet designed by Wahib Fahmy to promote the 1946 Hassan El-Seify 124-minute black-and-white film Neighborhood Girl [bint el-hetta], sometimes also translated as The Girl Next Door, starring Zahrat El-Ola, based on story, screenplay and dialogue by Mahmoud Ismail with cinematography by Mostafa Hassan. This intricate film about life in a Cairo neighborhood is filmed entirely on a studio sound stage and its story, dialogue and screenplay are all the imaginative work of Mahmoud Ismail, who also plays the part of the scheming Zaki al-Fayoumi. The sound stage does not do a good job of showing the loud and chaotic character of a lower class Cairo neighborhood, but that is not its purpose. Ismail wants to present a psychological tapestry showing interaction and conflict among people in difficult circumstances trying to satisfy social and financial needs in various legitimate and illegitimate ways. This early example of Egyptian social realism also features two classic performances by the great dancer Samia Gamal in her role as Zaki al-Fayoumi's collaborator.

Plot summary: Ekhlas [Zahrat El-Ola] is a university student and her brother Salim [Ahmed Ramzi] is unemployed. Her mother [Zouzou Nabil] is a domineering wife and her father [Ahmed Al Gaziri] is a man with a weak personality who sells animal feed. Omar [Shukry Sarhan] owns a dairy shop, but has stopped working to help his blind mother [Aziza Helmy] care for his sisters. Zaki al-Fayoumi [Mahmoud Ismail] is a tyrant who runs a criminal gang. His trusted assistant is Hambaka [Tewfik El Dekn]; the beautiful and charming dancer Hosnia [Samia Gamal] is another of his collaborators. Ekhlas loves Omar, who persuades her to marry him, but Zaki Al-Fayoumi also loves her and wants to marry her somehow. To this end he exploits her mother's greed and her unemployed brother Selim's financial condition. He employs Selim at a big salary and arranges a marriage between him and Hosnia in exchange for the right to marry Selim's sister. Ekhlas goes along with the wishes of her mother and brother and agrees to an engagement with Zaki in return for being allowed to complete her studies at the university, but this does not settle the question of who will marry Ekhlas. Hambaka hires Ganzir [Hassan Hosni] and Farkasha [Ahmed Abaza] to kill Omar to get him away from Ekhlas, but they only injure him. Then they tell Ekhlas to break off her engagement to Zaki and agree to marry Omar after he is cured and leaves the hospital. On other side, to neutralize Omar as his rival Zaki orders Selim to plant a package of hashish in a cupboard belonging to Omar, who is then arrested and put in prison. Selim has an awakening of conscience and feels he committed a great sin in submitting to Zaki. Ekhlas feels her brother Selim has had a hand in the planting of the hashish and tells this to her attorney [Anwar Madkour]. The attorney hires special investigator Labib [George Sidhum] to follow Selim. When Zaki senses that Selim is no longer loyal to him, he asks Hosnia to poison his drink while they are in a bar, but in a dramatic intervention the investigator Labib sitting nearby jumps up and warns Selim not to drink it. In a ruse, Ekhlas claims she loves Zaki and wants to marry him. Omar escapes from prison seeking to prove his innocence. Hambaka and Zaki go to the police and confess everything, while Selim confesses to planting the hashish. They all gather at Zaki's home where the police rescue Ekhlas. A police officer [Mokhtar Al Sayed] shoots and kills Zaki, Hosnia is killed by her former lover, Ekhlas's mother goes crazy and Omar's innocence is proven although he is given a six-month suspended sentence for breaking out of prison.

Cast and crew: Samia Gamal, Shukry Sarhan, Ahmed Ramzy, Mahmoud Ismail, Mostafa Hassan, Zahrat El-Ola, Hassan El-Seify, Zouzou Nabil, Aziza Helmy, Mahmoud Farag, Anwar Madkour, Abdel Mohsen Seleem, Ahmed Abaza, Ahmed Al Gaziri, Hassan Hosni, George Sidhum, Mokhtar El Sayed

Port Said بور سعيد (Farid Shawqi) - (1957) Egyptian rerelease one-sheet

Port Said (1957) - (Farid Shawqi) Egyptian one-sheet

This is a 27" x 39" undated rerelease Egyptian poster designed by Abdel Rahman to promote the 1957 134-minute Ezzel Dine Zulficar black-and-white film Port Said starring Farid Shawqi based on story and screenplay by Ezzel Dine Zulficar with dialogue by Aly Al-Zarkani and cinematography by Abdelhalim Nasr. This film is considered a milestone in the career of its star Farid Shawqi, the breakthrough where he was first recognized as a major Egyptian star and also the point where the quality of his work began a long decline. Plot summary: The film provides a nationalistic and patriotic view of the 1956 Tripartite Aggression in the Egyptian city of Port Said, with the Egyptian resistance shown as unfailingly heroic, righteous and morally victorious. It is populist war propaganda.

Cast and crew: Farid Shawqi, Hoda Soltan, Leila Fawzi, Shukry Sarhan, Zahrat El-Ola, Amina Rizk, Hussein Riad, Seraj Munir, Ahmed Mazhar, Tewfik El Dekn, Zeinat Sedki, Rushdy Abaza, Ezzel Dine Zulficar, Abdelhalim Nasr, Aly Al-Zarkany, Kamal Yasseen, Naima Wasfy, Kamal Hussein, Nour El-Demerdash, Adly Kasseb, Suleiman al-Guindy, Reyad El Kasabgy, Shafik Noureddin

Man without a Heart رجل بلا قلب (Hind Rostom) - (1960) Egyptian one-sheet

Man without a Heart (1960) - (Hind Rostom) Egyptian one-sheet

This is a 27" x 39" Egyptian poster designed by Mohammad Abdel Aziz to promote the 1960 Seif Eddin Shawkat 76-minute black-and-white film Man without a Heart [ragal bila qalb] starring Hind Rostom based on story and screenplay by Hassan Tewfik with cinematography by Abdelhalim Nasr. Galal [Yehia Chahine] discovered his wife Zahra [Zahrat El-Ola] had betrayed him with Kamal [Shukry Sarhan] and killed him. He swore he would never again go near his wife. The years passed and the separation continued. Aida [Hind Rostom] came to the estate intending to draw Galal into her net. Galal found her lying ill on the ground and took her to his home to stay there until she could recover. She caught his son [Ahmed Ramzy], a student named Nabil, in her net, because he loved her madly. The son and the father competed to get close to Aida while Galal's wife Zahra was aware of this situation and kept silent. Zahra quickly learned that Aida was the sister of the murdered Kamal come to take revenge against her brother's killer. Aida succeeded in getting Galal to ask her to marry him, then Galal chased his son across a field with a rifle with the intent of killing him after learning Aida was running away with him. Before Galal could shoot, he was killed with a bullet fired by his wife, who wanted to get justice for herself. This is an example of one of those remarkable events often seen in movies where people otherwise not known to the audience for having any abilities with firearms unexpectedly demonstrate remarkable prowess by hitting a human target with a single fatal shot.
