About Midnight story
In a dramatic atmosphere, the film tells the story of a family whose members suffer greatly, as the head of the family, "Shaker", forces his daughter to marry the man he chose, even though she loves someone else. In addition, "Samiha", Shaker's wife, is sick and paralyzed. In his desire to improve the situation, Shaker asks for a new secretary to help his wife, and from here things become very complicated as "Ibtisam" is appointed to the job. Shaker begins to doubt everyone around him except Ibtisam, and refuses to take medicine from anyone except her, so the events take a new dramatic turn.
Directed by Essa Karama, Midnight story leans on a strong ensemble — Emad Hamdy, Raoheya Khaled, Tawfiq Al-Deqen — 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 thriller titles of 1964.
