About Samad and Foolad Zereh, the Ogre
Samad burns an ogre's hair which causes an 8000 years old ogre to be released from his prison. The ogre eats a goat and also kidnapped Leila for Samad which causes her father to complain against Samad and sends him to jail but the ogre saves him and takes him to the city. There they have more adventures.
Directed by Jalal Moghadam, Samad and Foolad Zereh, the Ogre leans on a strong ensemble — Parviz Sayyad, Esfandiar Gharabaghi, Farrokh Ghaffari — 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 comedy titles of 1973.
