This is a 27" x 39" Egyptian poster designed by Morteda Anise for the
1992 Ahmed Yehia film Samara the Prince based on a story by
Naguib Mahfouz and starring Nabila Ebeid as Shalabia/Samara. Plot
Summary: Shalabia, a beautiful country girl, moved from her village to
work as a maid in a pasha's palace in Alexandria. However she fell in
love with the pasha's opportunist driver Ali [Mahmoud Hemida] and made
the other maids jealous. One of them told the pasha about their
relationship so he would fire them both. He took advantage of the
opportunity to exploit his lover Shalabia in the acquisition of much
wealth for his illegitimate purposes. He swept her out with the trash
after using her as a dancer at the Al-Faramawy Nightclub and promising
to marry her while he was improving his financial situation. Shalabia
learned the art of dancing and changed her name to Samara the Prince
to increase her fame among the wealthy people who frequented the
nightclub. Her fans who showered her with wealth multiplied. They
included Marwan Amin the nationalist journalist, Mr. Faw the English
stockbroker and Mehdi Pasha, a prominent politician. When Samara the
Prince met the tax agent Omar Abdel Awi she found in him a life
partner and married him hoping to begin an honorable life without
depravity. She tried to quit the night life but her first lover Ali
refused to allow this because he wanted to keep stealing her money.
Ali decided she had to return to her work as a dancer. Her husband
Omar negotiated for a divorce in return for a sum of money but when
Ali failed to win the argument with Omar he killed him to punish
Samara.
