This Egyptian film poster was designed by an unknown artist to promote
the 1966 85-minute El-Sayed Ziada black-and-white film Street of
the Water Carriers with screenplay and dialogue by Anwar Abdalla
and cinematography by Gamal Ebada. Plot Summary: The film is a
caricature of the Egyptian film industry as seen by poor Egyptian
audiences who dream of participation. It is about a girl named Fakiha
[Sharifa Fadel] who lived in the district of the water carriers with
her uncle Hussein [Amin El-Heinedy] the composer. Her uncle was a
talented man whose work was not appreciated until a film studio gave
him the opportunity to write a song for a new movie. When she went to
the studio with her uncle, as a singer Fakiha also got a chance for a
role in the new film to replace the lead actress, whose singing the
producer did not like. Fakiha's fiancee Salem [Mohamed Awad] became
angry with her because he was afraid she would get a job in the movies
and leave him, but she just ignored him. Fakiha left the district of
the water carriers and went to live with her uncle in an upscale
neighborhood while preparing herself to become a movie star. Fakiha
was disappointed later to find that her role had been given back to
the original lead actress. She returned to the district of the water
carriers with her uncle; Salem was there waiting for her and everybody
in the district of the water carriers was happy to have her back.
