Al-anissa Busa

1945 · 115 min

A gentle old-fashioned romance that charms with its playful masquerade and warm-hearted belief in love over money.

Overview
Fouzy Pasha agrees with his daughter that whoever marries her must choose her for her person and love for her, not for her wealth. Indeed, Fouzy Pasha pretends to be bankrupt and even chooses a modest, popular residence and wanders the streets playing the piano while his daughter sings. Love brings his daughter together with a young man from a wealthy family, and the Pasha blesses this love.
