Fikria, a singer, is married to Farid, a man who is devoured by his passion for the game. While traveling by train, the woman endures an accident. Once she has returned home, Fikria’s husband orders they should hide themselves so that he can get the insurance money needed to cover his debts.
In this commercial smash hit, Youssef Chahine’s love for American musicals is dressed in a melodramatic framework, pairing songs and dance with the biting suspense of gambling. Centering female interiority, the film is an indelible showcase for superstar Leila Mourad, the Queen of Egyptian musicals.
