Abu halmos

Shehata works as an accountant in a store that sells birds, arrives to him a letter bearing the news of his acceptance to a new job as an accountant in endowment properties, it happens that a dancer claims that she has a child from the son of the endowment overseer and leaves him for him and everyone knows that there is a child called Helmous, and they don’t know him either a mother or father. The daughter of the head of the endowment takes advantage of this event and claims to be the mother of the child from Shehata.

Directed by Ibrahim Helmi, Abu halmos leans on a strong ensemble — Naguib ElRihani, Zouzou Chakib, Abbas Fares — 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 1947.
