The Will (1939), dir. Kamal Selim
Ahmed is the son of simple and poor family. He is a university graduate and decides to start his own business with his friend Adliy. At the same time his lover Fatama tries hard to convince her family to let her marry Ahmed instead of their preferred suitor, a rich butcher.
"The Will" is considered to be one of the best Egyptian films ever made and a precursor of the Italian neorealism movement in cinema.

Wanted: an Egyptian-Jewish actress to play Cleopatra
The casting of ‘Wonderwoman’ Israeli actress Gal Gadot in the role of Cleopatra in a forthcoming biopic has caused a furore on social media: some would like to see an ‘Arab’ actress play the part, or even a European one, given that Cleopatra was actually of Macedonian-Greek descent. But a Jew? Never. Lyn Julius recalls the period when Jewish actresses were hoysehold names in Egypt in Jewish News:
Tumblr media
Gal Gadot (Jewish News) Politics are such nowadays that Jews have had their identities recast as privileged whites with no roots in the Middle East. It’s an irony that Jews paid with their lives in World War II for not belonging to the Aryan race, and have been murdered by white supremacists in the US for not being white enough. But the current orthodoxy on campus and in the media puts Jews firmly in the white camp despite their Levantine origins. We have now reached the point, Seth Frantzman writes, where no Jewish actress would be acceptable, not even an Egyptian-Jewish one. Maybe, he concedes, an Egyptian-Jewish actress who had converted to Islam. Yet there was a time when Egyptian-Jewish actresses were household names. Egypt was the Hollywood of the Middle East, and their fame spread far and wide. There was Nagwa Salem, whose real name was Nazira Mousa Shehata. She was born in Cairo to a Lebanese-Jewish father and a Sephardi mother. Nijma Ibrahim was born in 1914 as Pollini Odeon. She was famous for playing female villains. She played the role of Rayya in the famous movie ‘Rayya and Sakina’. She acted in more than 40 movies, and the most significant ones were ‘The Lady of the Camellias’ and ‘I am the Past’. She passed away in 1976, and was buried in Cairo. There was Camelia, real name Liliane Levy Cohen, who made 18 films in the space of three years in the 1940s. Her life was tragically cut short when she was killed in a plane crash aged 31. Rumour had it that she was King Farouk’s mistress and that he engineered her death. There was Rakia Ibrahim, real name Rachel Abraham Levy, who started life as a seamstress in Cairo’s Jewish quarter. She was known for ‘A Bullet in the Heart’ (1944), ‘The Final Solution’ (1937) and ‘Wings of the Desert ‘(1940). But the queen of them all was singer and film star, Leila Mourad. She was trained by her father, a ‘hazan’, and Dawood Hosni, also Jewish, the composer of the first operetta in the Arabic language.  He wrote two songs for Leila. Further success came when the prominent Egyptian composer Mohammed Abdel Wahab gave her a role in his film ‘Yahia el Hob’ (Viva Love!) in 1938. In the six years following the success of Y’ahia el Hob’ she made five box office hits with Jewish director Togo Mizrahi, becoming Egypt’s top actress. In 1945 she made ‘Layla Bint al-Fuqara’ (“Layla, daughter of the poor”) directed by Anwar Wagdi, whom she married shortly afterwards. She went on to make a further 20 films. She was selected, over the iconic singer Umm Kulthum, as the official singer of the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. But as soon as the conflict erupted with Israel in 1948, all the Jewish actresses were accused of disloyalty to Egypt. According to Al-Arabiya, In the last few years prior to her death, Nijma Ibrahim suffered from mental illness, thinking that someone was seeking to assassinate her because of her Jewish origins. Rakia Ibrahim left Egypt in 1954 for the US, but she was dogged by accusations that she was a Mossad agent who had played a part in the assassination of Egyptian nuclear scientist Samira Moussa. As recently as 2014, an  Arabic newspaper carried allegations of her complicity in Moussa’s death. 
Tumblr media
Leila Mourad Leila Mourad converted to islam, but even she was not immune. In the 1950s a rumour surfaced that the actress and singer had visited Israel, where she had relatives, and donated money to its military. Arab radio stations boycotted her. The Egyptian government investigated but found that the charges against her were without foundation. She retired aged 38, ostensibly because Umm Kalthum had overtaken her in popularity. But one cannot discount the fact that she had never managed to shake off suspicions of her as a spy. Only Nagwa Salem seemed to have managed to have a successful film career into the 1960s. The price she paid was to convert to Islam. Not being a Muslim was a definite handicap – hence the Syrian Christian Michel Shelhoub converted to Islam – and became Omar Sharif. Have things changed for the better In Egypt? Hardly any Jews remain. In 2016, two actors ‘came out’, admitting to their Jewish ancestry: Basma Darwish, whose grandfather was Youssef Darwish, an anti-Zionist Communist, and Karim Kassem, who turned out to be the nephew of the present Jewish community leader, Magda Haroun. Could an Egyptian-Jewish actress be cast as Cleopatra today? We should put Basma Darwish forward for consideration. She would make an interesting test case.

Samia Gamal – a famous Egyptian belly dancer and film actress in the 20th century
Over time, belly dancers have become omnipresent in movies; however, only a few have made their mark in the film industry. Notable among the few ones is Samia Gamal, who was once referred to as the Official Belly Dancer of Egypt.
Tumblr media
The real, full name of Samia Gamal was Zeinab Khalil Ibrahim Mahfouz. In 1942, Samia was born in Wana Beni Suef governorate, Egypt. During the period, BambaKashar and Shafiqa Al-Qibitiyya were the belly dancing stars in the country. At the age of 12, the talent of Samia as a belly dancer began to manifest. After the death of her father, she realized that her dream lies in Cairo.
First off, she worked as a seamstress before performing as one of the extras in BadiaMasabni dance troupe, who is the most famous artist during that time. BadiaMasabni was well-known for promoting several reputable belly dancers to stardom – and Samia was no exception. He didn’t only motivate and teach Samia, but also gave her “Samia Gamal” as her stage name. Also, Badia recommended her to the famous Isaac Dickson, who was a dance instructor. Isaac trained Samia until she emerged as one of the top dancers during the period.
Before long, Samia Gamal became an official representative of Egypt in many international forums, such as the Red Cross charity conference held in Paris during the 1940s. Among other dignitaries in the conference was King Farouk of Egypt. 
It is worth mentioning that she wasn’t a traditional belly dancer as Samia Gamal distinguished herself through expressive body language and dancing. She skillfully combined the spirit of Western dancing techniques with Oriental dancing. At times, she would top them off with a few ballet movements. All of these special attributes made her performance unique among her contemporaries.
Aside from being a talented belly dancer, Samia Gamal left some remarkable legacy in the film industry. She performed the leading lady role in several Egyptian classic movies such as Red Lipstick alongside Naguib Al-Rihani (1946), Lady Ghost with Farid Al-Atrash (1949), the Hawk alongside Emad Hamdy (1950), the Count of Monte Cristo with Anwar Agdi (1950), the Monster with Anwar Wagdi (1956). Other movies where Samia performed include the Second Man (1959), SukkarHanem (1960), among others.
However, before Samia Gamal became a belly dance superstar and well-known name in the film industry, let’s consider her humble beginnings. Gamal worked as extras in the Determination (1939), a movie directed by Kamal Selim, before ever thinking of becoming an iconic actress. When she worked as extras, she would be paid only ten piastres per day. While nobody ever noticed her back then, she was using the opportunity to get familiar with the camera.
After several minor roles during the 1940S, she made the most of the opportunities that came her way as she featured in some movies such as the Triumph of Youth (1941), On the Stage of Life (1942), Love is Forbidden (1942), Les Miserables (1943), Bullet in the Heart (1944) and Who’s the Culprit (1944). By 1946, Samia Gamal has gained enough experience to act as the leading lady in movies. She performed her first leading role through an opportunity given by renowned Naguib Al-Rihani as she starred in Red Lipstick. Before long, she took another step forward when composer Farid Al-Atrash used her as the female star of Lifetime Sweetheart, a movie directed by Barakat. From there onward, Samia Gamal never stopped reaching new milestones and becoming famous both as a reputable belly dancer and a renowned actress.

Dahab (1953) was my favorite black and white Egyptian film growing up. It was actually the first black and white Egyptian film I’ve ever watched. It was a musical melodrama and comedy that starred talented actors such as Anwar Wagdi, Ismail Yassin, and Magda. The famous Anwar Wagdi was an actor, writer, producer and director who actually produced this film. Feyrouz was a talented young actress, dancer and singer -- a prodigy.  Many young Egyptians admired her talents including myself. She was basically the Egyptian version of Shirley Temple. The video above is my favorite scene from the film Dahab. It shows Feyrouz starring as Dahab, an abandoned young girl, who uses her singing and dancing ability to rise out of poverty. Rewatching this scene gave me such a nostalgic feeling.

Ismail Yassin. one of the greatest comedian actors of the Egyptian cinema. professor Louay did not mention him a lot so i thought it would be good to give a brief information about this great actor. Yassin started his career as an actor in the early 90′s and he worked with very important producers such as Anwar Wagdi. He acted in more than 166 films in his life which is a huge number. he became the start of the 40′s , 50′s and the 60′s and he gets so famous to the point that during the years of 52.53 and 54, he made more than 16 movies a year which i believe no one has ever done that. attached is a link to one of his very funny movies. hope you enjoy it.
