About Every house has a man
An archaeologist dies, leaving behind his wife and daughter alone. A handsome man, a representative of the Antiquities Authority, visits the house. The mother likes him and he likes her, and they exchange love. However, the girl also likes him and tries to woo him. However, she discovers that her mother likes him, so she revolts against her mother and accuses her of being disloyal to her deceased father. The young man tries to distract her from her hostility towards her mother.
Directed by Ahmed Kamel Morsi, Every house has a man leans on a strong ensemble — Amina Rizk, Faten Hamama, Mahmoud El Meligy — 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 1949.
