ShiraDotNet — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 06:10:08 GMT

Who is this actor, who plays the role of the doctor/father in the movie Shatie el Hob (sold on DVD as Love Beach)? The movie was released in 1961.

Who is this dancer in Afrita Hanem?

ShiraDotNet — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 06:02:05 GMT

In this dance scene from the movie Afrita Hanem (Genie Lady), a dancer I can't identify performs at a wedding while the genie played by Samia Gamal's character wreaks havoc. Does anybody know who this dancer is? The movie was released in 1949. Considering how minor the dancer's role is, I'm guessing she was not a well-known dancer, but I thought I'd ask just in case anyone knows.

Who is this dancer?

This image is from a scene in the movie Shatie el Hob, which is sold on DVD under the title Love Beach. It was released in 1961, and stars Farid al-Atrache, Samira Ahmed, and Tahia Carioca. (Carioca does only 7 seconds of dancing in the entire movie, even though the role she plays is that of a dancer in a seedy nightclub.) The dancer in this image performs in the movie in a scene where an engagement party is underway, during the instrumental interludes of a song by Farid al-Atrache. Does anybody know who this dancer is?

Is this Wedad Hamdi?

This photo comes from the movie Muffatish al-amm. I know that the actress on the right (in the belted dress) is Tahia Carioca. But who is the actress on the left in the gallabiya? Is it Wedad Hamdi?

Who are these 6 actors in Inspector General?

ShiraDotNet — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 01:19:08 GMT

Well, actually I'm only looking for four. I know that the guy on the right is Mahmoud El-Meliguy, and next to him is Ismail Yassin. But I don't know the other four. I've already uploaded pictures here with two of them (the mayor, who is next to Ismail Yassin, and the school principal), but I thought it might be helpful to see them all from another angle. One of the web sites that sells the DVD says that the cast includes Riad Kasabjee and Shafik Noureddin, but I don't know which character in the story or person in the photo each is. The opening credits also say this is the first appearance of Mawaheb, but I don't know who that is.

In this screen shot from the movie Mufatsh al-3amm (Inspector General), who is the adult actor in the foreground? (The guy in the background to the right plays the role of the mayor, I'm curious who he is too.)

This scene from Inspector General has Tahia Carioca on the left. The singer, whose name I don't know, is in the middle. Who is the actor on the viewer's right?

Here is a screen shot of the singer in the movie Inspector General. Can anybody identify her? (Let me know if you want me to post additional screen shots showing her from additional angles.) --Shira

Inspector General Opening Credits

These are the opening credits for the Egyptian version of The Inspector General. Sausan, would you or someone else who knows Arabic be willing to translate & transliterate the screen shots? Thanks in advance!

Large picture of cover of Inspector General - what is the Arabic title?

ShiraDotNet — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 22:19:59 GMT

What is the Arabic title of the movie Inspector General, that stars Ismail Yassin and has two dance scenes by Tahia Carioca? Is it Kommissariate el Fatenate, or is it something else? I can't read Arabic, so I don't know what the Arabic script on the DVD cover says. Here is a photo of the DVD cover - can someone who reads Arabic transliterate the name into Roman alphabet?
