based on a story by Henry Barakat and Youssef Gohar, screenplay by
Henry Barakat, cinematography by Wahid Farid, music by Mohamed Abdel
Wahab and starring 26-year-old Abdel Halim Hafez (1929-1977) as
Yehia. Plot summary: A wealthy man married a woman who had divorced an
irresponsible alcoholic painter [Mahmoud El-Meliguy]. The wealthy man
educated her two sons, one of whom was from another husband, and the
boys grew up together like twins. Yehia, the son of the painter,
loved Samia [Imane] but his brother made trouble for him and Samia
turned away from him. They quarreled at a party when he was quite
drunk and then he got in his car and killed a pedestrian. At his
trial he confessed the truth. This caused tension in the family but
when he returned to his father the painter, the father took
responsibility for the first time; he had a reconciliation with his
wife and his son when he saw the love between mother and son and the
son's confession of the truth. The film includes the hit
song Toba [Never
Again]: Lyrics and translation
