About Fatouma
Fatima learns from Dr. Wahid Farid that her husband left her a letter before his death, informing her that he intends to commit suicide. When he goes to Khorshid Bey's house, he is surprised that he is not dead and threatens him with a gun. Wahid pulls out his gun and kills his lover's husband. In front of the police, he tells the story, that he has known Fatima for a long time when she almost committed suicide, but Dr. Wahid gave her hope and asked her to marry him.
Directed by Hasan El-Saifi, Fatouma leans on a strong ensemble — Abdel Mohsen Selim, Hind Rostom, 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 screen titles of 1961.
