About El Ragol El Thaalab
Farid belongs to a large family, but he failed in his studies and joined a drug smuggling gang. He frequents bars and nightclubs and is in a relationship with Zizi, the dancer who was in love with the gang leader, Mr. Basyouni. Farid tries to get rid of Mr. Basyouni to take control of things. Farid marries Hoda, the sister of Omar Abdel Karim, the public prosecutor in the Anti-Narcotics Office.
Directed by Nagdy Hafez, El Ragol El Thaalab leans on a strong ensemble — Farid Shawqy, Riri, Amina Rizk — 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 1962.
