All Singing! All Belly-Dancing!

Wild and wiggly Egyptian musicals

As enjoyable as these pictures are individually, what's really invigorating about the series as a whole is the uncharted terrain it opens up. The excitement of discovering an entire film culture that benighted Westerners barely knew existed -- this is the inveterate moviegoer's equivalent of an upsurge of spring sap, but without the letdown in the final reel.

 

Thanks to Irene G. Behnan for translations and cultural notes.
