Pictured is an undated Egyptian rerelease poster designed by an
unknown artist to promote the 1960 Essa Karama 109-minute
black-and-white film My Mother-in-Law Is an Angel [hamati
malak] starring Ismail Yasseen as Khamis based on a story by Essa
Karama with screenplay and dialogue by Abdel Fattah El-Said and
cinematography by Satrollah Karama. Plot summary: Khamis the
undertaker asked his girlfriend the maid Barqu'a [Khayria Ahmed] to
tell him about it if there were deaths in any of the homes where she
worked so he could make the funeral arrangements. The maid told him
her boss Sabri [Youssef Fakhr Eddine] had died of grief because of
what his mother-in-law Fayeqa Hanem [Marie Munib] had done to him, and
his wife was in mourning. Khamis went to the home to make the
necessary funeral arrangements without knowing that Sabri was only
pretending to be dead on the advice of his friend Kamal [Kamal
Hussein] to get revenge against the mother-in-law and so he could find
out how much his wife Samia [Amal Farid] loved him. Sabri also tried
to frighten his mother-in-law by pretending to be his own ghost. In a
comedic mishap Khamis knocked the supposedly dead Sabri unconscious,
then put him in a cupboard and replaced it with another cupboard; when
he was accused of losing the corpse he tried to find the original
cupboard in a cinematic shell game with many identical antique
cupboards similar to the one shown on the poster, in a hotel and at a
furniture auction. When Samia tried to kill herself Sabri knew how
much she loved him so he stopped pretending to be dead and hurried
back home, where the mother-in-law went through a final scare scene
when he reappeared.
