House [fi baitina ragol] starring Omar Sharif based on a story by
Ihsan Abd al-Qudus with screenplay by Youssef Issa and Henry Barakat,
dialogue by Youssef Issa and cinematography by Hesham Wadid
Serri. Plot summary: Ibrahim [Omar Sharif] assassinates the prime
minister who has been collaborating with the imperialists, then asks
his friend Mohey [Hassan Youssef] to hide him. Mohey's father does
not welcome the fugitive, but his sisters are happy to help Ibrahim
contact his political friends. Ibrahim eventually rejoins the
rebellion in Egypt and is killed in an attack on a British base. This
film is on film critic Ahmad Al-Hadari's 2007 list of the 100 most
important Egyptian films.
