In reading the summary "Universally recognized as one of the greatest Egyptian films ever made" it is clear that the summary was penned by some one who has not seen much Egyptian cinema. Not that this is a particularly bad movie - and it does shine above much of that country's output of the 1970's - but when taken as a whole - I wouldn't even put it in the top ten. My top ten are by the way; Mat'oulch Le Had (1952) Antissar El Shabab (1941) Akher Kedba (1950) As-Saber Tayib (1946) Hokayet El Omr Kullo (1965) Shafiqa El Qubitya (1963) Demouh El Hob (1935) Salama with Om Koultoum Afrita Hanem with Farid Al Atrache Shores of Love (1950)
