About I want love and affection
Love is born between Mona and Hussein the engineer in one of the missile bases. Mona meets Samir, whom she has loved for years, but her stepmother, Umm Saadia, rejected him at that time. He claims that he has made a large fortune working abroad. Mona tells him about her engagement to Hussein, while Umm Saadia threatens him that he will be the one to get it. Farid congratulates his brother Hussein on his engagement to Mona.
Directed by Nagdy Hafez, I want love and affection leans on a strong ensemble — Mervat Amin, Farid Shawqy, Adel Adham — 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 1978.
