About Shajarat al-Durr
In the 13th century AD, the Turkish slave girl (Shajarat al-Durr) captures the heart of (Al-Malik Al-Salih) and he marries her so that she can interfere in the affairs of the country and plot and plan conspiracies and schemes when the war against the Crusaders breaks out. It happens that (Al-Malik Al-Salih) dies during the war, so she hides the news of his death so that the soldiers in the battle will not be shaken, and she continues to rule and command in his name.
Directed by Ahmed Galal, Shajarat al-Durr leans on a strong ensemble — Assia Dagher, Abdel Rahman Rouchdi, Mary Queeny — 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 1935.
