Ghurab, cinematography Aly Hassan; it tells the story of a cabaret
dancer in Alexandria named Leila [Samia Gamal]. Many of the customers
liked her but she resisted their offers of marriage and requests that
she become their mistress. She had one importunate pursuer named
Hamada [Ahmed Mazhar] whom she always resisted. He was shocked when
she married another man named Abbas [Mahmoud El-Meliguy], with whom
she ran the cabaret after they were married. Hamada, shocked and
disappointed, disappeared. Then Abbas apparently died in a fire on his
boat. Hamada returned and this time she accepted him. Abbas, who had
not actually died, came back and tried to separate them but could not
do so.
