About The Quail and Autumn
Eissa Al-Dabagh is a member of a washed-out political party that was defanged by the 1952 revolution. When he meets the prostitute Riri, he tries to use her to chase the mirage of the power and control he once had. But when he discovers that she is pregnant, he kicks her out.
Directed by Hossam El Dine Mostafa, The Quail and Autumn leans on a strong ensemble — Mahmoud Moursy, Nadia Lotfi, Abdallah Ghaith — 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 1967.
