This is a 27" x 39" Egyptian poster designed by Moaty to promote the
1977 105-minute Henry Barakat color film Mouths and Rabbits
[afwah wa araneb] based on story, screenplay and dialogue by Samir
Abdelazim with cinematography by Wahid Farid. Plot summary: Ne'ma
[Faten Hamama] fled her town after her sister [Ragaa Hussein] had
arranged a marriage for her to an illiterate man named al-Bastawi [Aly
El Cherif]. She found work on the land of the wealthy Mahmoud Bey
[Mahmoud Yassine]. She was extremely careful about Mahmoud's wealth
and clashed with the estate's overseer over how to sell the crops for
the best price. Mahmoud liked this so much he put her in charge of
his personal affairs at his home. He was preparing to marry Nahi
[Inas Al Degheidy] who became jealous of Ne'ma. Abdel Magid [Farid
Shawqi] prepared a contract for Ne'ma to marry al-Bastawi while Nahi
told Mahmoud he had to choose between her and Ne'ma. Mahmoud refused
to fire Ne'ma, prompting Nahi to cancel their engagement. Mahmoud's
liking for Ne'mat became love and he asked her to marry him, which she
eventually did after cancelling the arrangements Abdel Magid had made
with al-Bastawi. In contrasting Ne'ma's poverty-stricken heavily
populated rural family life with Mahmoud's more solitary wealthy urban
life, the film and its title seem to be suggesting large families are
partly responsible for Egypt's poverty.
