Pictured is a 27" x 39" Egyptian poster designed by Mohammad Abdel
Aziz and Ahmed Fouad and printed by Dar al-Kateb al-Arabi of Cairo to
promote the 1968 Hussein Helmy 100-minute black-and-white film Eve
on the Road [hawa ala al-tariq] starring Magda based on screenplay
and dialogue by Hussein Helmy with cinematography by Dia El-Mahdy.
The film was produced and distributed by the General Egyptian Cinema
Institute. Plot summary: Three young women were alternating between
the call of the heart and loyalty to the woman's cause of achieving
full equality with men. Mona [Magda] was fully committed to the
woman's cause and would not settle for anything less. Nashwa [Madiha
Salem] thought it was better for women to accept reality. Hekmat
[Soheir Samy] was committed to the cause and raised her voice with
resounding slogans, but she inevitably sacrificed herself for her
cause after everyone denied her. At the beginning her husband said he
was a believer in full equality but in fact he just a follower who
felt a sense of superiority. Nashwa rushed into a marriage with
Galal, a happy pilot [Abdel Moneim Ibrahim]. Hekmat abandoned her
principles in her marriage to her lawyer neighbor. Mona's husband
Khaled [Rushdy Abaza] backed down when she insisted and decided to
meet her halfway, which saved her at the last minute. Mona had a
daughter to whom she passed the torch.
