This is an original-year 27" x 39" Egyptian promotional poster
designed by Anwari for the 125-minute 1947 black-and-white Ahmed
Badrakhan film Fatmah starring Om Kolsum based on a story by
Mustafa Amin with cinematography by Abdelhalim Nasr. Plot summary:
Fatmah (Om Kolsum), a polite young nurse, was given the task of
overseeing a pasha's treatment. When the pasha's brother Fathy (Anwar
Wagdi) saw her he was taken by her beauty and the sweetness of her
voice when she sang. He fell in love with her and tried to attract
her in various ways but failed to arouse any interest. While he had a
fierce desire for her, he did not find any way other than marriage, so
he actually took her under marriage contract as a common law wife and
had a honeymoon with her in Alexandria. He returned with her, but they
had to live together in her humble home in one of the neighborhoods in
view of his father's anger about what had happened. Fathy could not
tolerate living there or interacting with the people of that
neighborhood, and he left after he was fed up with it. Chance led him
to the villa of Mervat (Mimi Shakeeb), an aristocratic girl. He made
preparations to marry her also because he had already promised her he
would do that. Fathy found that this was the way to please his father
the pasha, and he returned to his father's mansion forgetting his wife
the nurse. His father asked him to get the marriage paper from this
nurse, which he did but only after Fatmah had made a photocopy of it.
Fathy abandoned Fatmah but she had become pregnant by him and had his
child, although he denied it. The people in the neighborhood met and
decided to raise the issue of Fathy. In the midst of these events
Fathy told his wife Mervat about the situation and then went to
Fatmah's house to ask her forgiveness. He was struck by an automobile
on the way, just when he had come to his senses and decided to return
to Fatmah with regret for what he had done and acknowledge that he was
the father of her son.
