Quote:
Bidaya wa Nihaya (Arabic: بداية و نهاية‎, English: A Beginning and an End) is a 1960 Egyptian film directed by Salah Abouseif and based on the novel by the same name. It was the first film adapted from a novel written by Nobel Prize winner Naguib Mahfouz.

Quote:
At the 2nd Moscow International Film Festival in 1961, the film was nominated for the Grand Prix award. For her role as Nefisah, Sanaa Gamil won the award for Best Supporting Actress

The film portrays the lives of the members of an Egyptian family, who are three brothers, their sister Nefisah (Sanaa Gamil) and their mother (Amina Rizk), after the family’s patriarch’s death.

The older brother Sultan (Farid Shawki) turns to crime, while the younger brother, Hassan, leaves Cairo to work in another city. On the other hand, the youngest brother, Hassanein (Omar Sharif), aspires to be a police officer, and in order to achieve that he puts his family into financial difficulties.

Nefisah falls in love and has an affair with the local grocer’s son (Salah Mansour) and when he doesn’t marry her, she works as a prostitute to support her brother.

The tragic ending of the film is one of the most memorable in Egyptian films; Nefisah gets arrested by the police and her brother Hassanien bails her out. After an intense argument between her and her brother, Nefisah commits suicide by throwing herself in the Nile followed by her brother, who throws himself in too.

The post Ali Badr Khan – Al karnak AKA Karnak Café (1975) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Antar, son of prince Chaddad and a black slave mother, longs to be recognized by his father and win the love of his cousin, the princess Abla. In order to prove himself worthy, he undergoes all manner of obstacles and eventually becomes the greatest warrior in all Arabia.

There have been several Middle Eastern movies made about Antar, dating back to the silent era. In western cinema, Antar was played by Victor Mature in The Veils of Bagdad (1953) and by Kirk Morris in Anthar l’Invincibile (Anthar the Invincible) although these films re-imagined the character as a generic Caucasian hero with little relation to the historical figure. In this picture, Antar is portrayed by Egyptian actor Farid Chawki wearing “blackface” makeup and a nappy wig.

Antar bin Chaddad spans over two hours and includes scenes of warfare, floggings, stabbings, stonings, beheadings, plenty of swordplay as well as Bollywood-style songs and dances. Filmed in vivid Eastmancolor and scored with music from The Ten Commandments and Ben-Hur.
