Leilet al quabd al Fatma

Lailat Elkabd Ala Fatma,or "The Night of Fatma's Arrest" 1984 This movie created many considerations from some politicians after its release in the eighties, due to the way presented one of the heroes of the 1952 "Egyptian revolution against occupation". The story is between a sister (Fatma) that raised her brother and helped him to become a war hero, but his fame and glory turned him down against his family and his people. He is now running for the congress and can't let his sister stop him. So, he enters her fiancé (Shoukry Sarhan) into Jail and plots few trials to kill his sister.

The movie was a big box office hit and welcomed by critics. I don't know if this due to the power of Fatma in the movie or the power of Faten Hamama!! Faten deserved her award for the Lebanese Merit golden prize in her role in this movie.

This movie was last one between Director Henry Barakat and Faten Hamama (known as Lady of The Arabic Screen); they have participated in more than fifteen movies, since mid Forties until mid Eighties. Barakat used to mention that his favorite actress is Faten that he feels he can do and present his best with her. This movie was an excellent piece of work from both of them.
