Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Roman Holiday, start here.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1946: an older pace and style.

The film takes place in Cairo during the Second World War, where Hassan Abu Tabq (Naguib Al-Rihani) meets the girl Laybeh (Tahiya Karioca), and feelings of love develop between them while Hassan struggles, and things change little by little when a game comes in front of you with a great opportunity to portray a movie star. .
