About The Savage
Baheya, a poor singing and dancing girl in a family of carnival entertainers, falls in love with a wealthy writer named Ashraf. She later takes a factory job and is followed there by Ashraf; he eventually asks her to marry him. Baheya agrees to the proposal. When Ashraf presents her as his intended bride to his mother Eqbal she objects because of their social and class differences.
Directed by Samir Seif, The Savage leans on a strong ensemble — Soad Hosny, Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, Laila Fawzy — 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 music titles of 1979.
