This is a 27" x 39" Egyptian undated rerelease poster by an unknown
artist for the 1960 Salah Abouseif film Between Heaven and
Earth based on a screenplay by Naguib Mahfouz, El Sayed Bedeir and
Salah Abuseif and starring Hind Rostom as the movie star Nahed Shukry.
A group of city people got into an elevator going to various floors in
a big building. There was an actress who had a role to play in a film
about the tallest building. She was being pursued by a man who was in
the habit of following women. There was a woman going to her lover,
and there was someone from a gang that steals valuables. There was a
crazy person fleeing from a mental hospital and an old man who had
left his family to marry a younger woman. The elevator stopped
working, but the doorman had gone to see a soccer game, so the rescue
was delayed. The police were called, who finally located the elevator
and broke through the wall. The rescue was made and they all went
back to their original plans. The actress completed her job, the
thief was arrested and the man who loved women went looking for a new
woman. According to film critic Sa'ad al-Din Tawfiq this is one of
the top 100 Egyptian films. This film is also on film critic Ahmad
Al-Hadari's 2007 list of the 100 most important Egyptian films.
Although it was not a commercial success, it was Egypt's entry in the
Yugoslavia Film Festival in 1960.
