About Girl of 17
Law student Safaa (Zubaida Tharwat) loves her colleague Kamal (Ahmed Ramzy), and the two want to get married. However, her father Ibrahim (Hussein Riad) opposes this relationship because Kamal's mother, Horia (Zouzou Madi), runs her house as a gambling ground. He tries hard to sever the ties between them, but the father's efforts go down the drain because the two lovers are attached to each other. The father turns to his friend Dr. Refaat (Mahmoud Zulfikar) asking him to intervene, but Refaat advises the father not to stand in his daughter's way.
Directed by Kamal Atteya, Girl of 17 leans on a strong ensemble — Zubaida Tharwat, Ahmed Ramzy, Hussein Reyaad — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1958.
