- Synopsis:
- The lustful fantasies of crippled Qinawi a newsstand vendor in a Cairo train depot morph into a dangerous fixation with a seductive but scheming lemonade seller just as a serial killer begins terrorizing the city in this Egyptian thriller. Also directed by Chahine, the film met with a chorus of condemnation upon its 1958 release but is now considered a masterwork by many cinephiles and critics.
