Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Leila Murad's final film before her controversial retirement — she converted to Islam, married Fatin Abdel Wahab, and the industry lost its biggest star overnight.
Anwar Wagdi directed AND starred opposite his ex-wife Murad here — their real divorce added delicious tension to every frame. Professionalism? Barely.
