A Clip from the Egyptian film “Dahab” which was produced and directed in 1953 by Anwar Wagdy. Wagdy starred along with Fairoz, Magda, Ismail Yassin and Magdi. It is a musical melodrama. Fairoz was our Shirley Temple in late 1940s and early 1950s.
Dahab is the Egyptian version from Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid, Chaplin was the idol of Wagdy and the reason why he wanted to become an actor and even tried to travel to the United States.
