An Egyptian actor, he joined Al-Sanayeh School but left it in 1931 to join the theater auditorium in Cairo. He began his artistic career as a preacher in the theater, but in a short period he started playing small roles after Salama Hijazi presented him on the stage. The role of the priest in the play (Tutankhamun) in 1942, and led the role successfully and from here began to follow theatrical roles, and the most important of what the theater was plays (apartment for rent) and (King Cotton) and (Sekkah safety), worked in Radio and cinema, one of his most important films (Matti General Manager, take care of love). He died in 1981 at the age of 70 years.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
