Fantastic suspense

From the first moment I've seen this movie, something pulled me in it. Really it has a non-stopped suspense from the first moment you see the movie till the last moment in it you want to know what is going to happen. Acting, directing, story, really every thing is perfect in this movie; although it's made in 1964 its level is much higher than those Egyptian movies which are made nowdays .

Really you cannot differentiate it from the American movies at that period.

At the end I want to thank every one whose work in that movie and especially Faten Hamama

one of the best thrillers in Egyptian cinema

i think this movie is one of my top 5 Egyptian movies, its not less than any classic American movie, very high concept and catchy plot with good acting and directing comparing to this period worldwide. i recommend it to everyone to see how Egyptian cinema produced movies that good.

kamal el shiek also is one of the most important movie makers in the history of Egyptian cinema and the real pioneer if the thriller movies with up normal plot, and still easily to be understood and very commercial.

faten hamama also is my best female actress in this black and white period but maybe just for the serious movies because for the romantic comedies i think souad housny was the best.

mahmoud moursy also made one of his best performances, ahmad mazhar as good as usual no special appearance.
