    An iconic romantic comedy

    A great cast assembled to make, probably the best romantic comedy in the history of the Egyptian cinema. The story is both fun and funny. The acting was amazing like Omar Sharif's simple facial expressions or Yusuf Wahbi's dialogues could make you smile easily. This film isn't just good, it's an iconic to Egyptian Cinema. It's like "The Apartment" for Western Cinema!

    If any youngsters reading this review, please watch this film an enjoy the golden age of Egyptian cinema.
