Mazhar Gasour and Mohammad Aziz for the 1958 Youssef Maalouf
film Bahbouh Effendi with screenplay and dialogue by William
Basili, cinematography by Bruno Salvi and starring Ismail Yasseen as
Bahbouh Effendi. Plot summary: Babouh Effendi left the country to go
to Cairo with his partner in the livestock trade, the teacher Awis
(Fouad Shafik). There they lived frivolously passing their time in
nightclubs. They met a girl (Zahrat El-Ola) who worked in a
nightclub, and they saved her from a gang. They went home with her,
which caused problems for her with her neighbors, but Bahbouh married
the girl the next morning after discovering she was honorable and
that she had been obliged to go to the nightclub due to circumstances
beyond her control.
