Cairo

A b&w crime caper starring George Sanders, Richard Johnson, and several leading Egyptian movie stars, including Faten Hamama, Ahmed Mazhar, Kamal El Shinawi, Shwikar, Salah Nazmi, Nahed Sabri, Ezzat El Alaili, Yousuf Shaaban, and Said Abu Bakr.

Sanders is a British thief who comes to Cairo to recruit and lead an international team of villains to rob a collection of King Tut jewels from the Cairo Museum. The team includes a Brit lock-busting expert who has settled in Cairo and married a local girl; a Greek underground gambling-joint operator, a Turkish import/export businessman, an Egyptian driver, and an young Egyptian hashish addict.

Each character on the team is attached to a subplot.

Not a bad production. Filming took place in Cairo. Rewarding scenes from bazaars, marketplaces, cabarets, inner city streets; as well as rural scenery. Some claim that the film is a nearly scene-by-scene remake of John Huston's "The Asphalt Jungle". Available on YouTube. Rated a weak to fair 5.4 on IMDb.
