film Samara starring Taheya Cariocca based on story and
screenplay by Mahmoud Ismail with dialogue by Abdel Moneim El-Sebai
and cinematography by Mahmoud Nasr. Plot summary: This is an Egyptian
noir style crime thriller, featuring a classy 1952 Packard
Mayfair convertible as an Egyptian gang's vehicle of choice for its
various criminal errands. Soltan [Mahmoud Ismail] was a big-time
smuggler who loved Samara [Taheya Cariocca]. He married her and drew
her into his criminal affairs; she became influential in the affairs
of his gang. When the police sent an escaped convict named Abu Shefa
[Mohsen Sarhan] into their midst as an informer, Samara fell in love
with him. After Samara flirted with him playfully at a nightclub,
Soltan's boss Wagih [Mahmoud El-Meliguy] also fell in love with
Samara, although she did not feel the same way about him. Wagih,
Samara and Soltan went to Suez together to receive a shipment of
smuggled hashish. The police followed them there and monitored their
activities. When the police were closing in later for a final arrest
in Cairo they shot Samara while she was in Abu Shefa's arms.
