This is a 33.5" x 45" Egyptian poster designed by Hassan Mazhar Gasour
for the 1954 Helmy Rafla film Abu Dahab based on story and
screenplay by Zoheir Bakir, dialogue by El Sayed Bedeir and starring
Hoda Soltan. Plot summary: Hassan Bar'i [Zaki al-Harami] was the
gangleader in a narcotics smuggling and distribution company operating
behind a front company for the distribution of medical supplies. He
met Amina Hassan [Qowat al-Qoloub], got her pregnant and then refused
to marry her, so she tried to shoot him. However Sabiet al-Atara
[Mahmoud El-Meliguy] killed him instead. Sabiet nominated his
colleague Abu Dahab [Farid Shawqi] to replace Bar'i but he refused to
do it and recommened al-Akta', [Mohamed Sabih] one of al-'Atara's
backers, to run the election; they made arrangements for al-Atara to
win. However the arrangements failed and and Abu Dahab won. Abu
Dahab and al-Atara were outwardly friends but they competed for the
love of the singer Ehsan [Hoda Soltan], who preferred and eventually
married Abu Dahab. Abu Dahab was then reported, arrested for smuggling
and given a seven-year prison sentence.
