Talaat was an Egyptian comedy actor who was born in Alexandria. Among his most important works was “Haha wa Tuffaha” (“Haha and the Apple”) which saw him work with Yasmine ‘Abd Al ‘Azeez and Hassan Housni. The actor also took part in the film “Sayyid al-‘Attafee” with Tamer Housni and the film “Ew’a Wishak” with Ahmed ‘Eid and Ahmed Rezk. Thereafter he worked on one of his most important projects, “Tabakh al-Raees” (The President’s Chef), in his first independent lead. In September 2007, Tal’at Zakkariyah suffered an inflammation in a blood vessel in his brain and fell into a coma. However, he later recovered, and “Tabakh al-Raees” achieved good returns. Among his most important leads which saw him being awarded prizes was the film “al-Sayyid Abou al-‘Araby Wissil” (“Mr. Abou al-‘Araby has Arrived”). Tal’at collaborated with Hani Ramzi and Wahid Youssif on that work. Another film of his was “Abou ‘Ali”, a work that saw him collaborate with Kareem ‘Abd Al ‘Azeez and Mona Zaki. The actor also presented a film titled “Qissat al-Hayy al-Sha’bee” (“The Tale of the Lower Income Neighborhood”) but it was not up to the high standards which audiences were used to.

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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
