Review of The Nightingale's Prayer (1959) by Edgar C — 14 Aug 2011

Powerful melodrama in its classical form. Egypt, just like other countries throughout the 60s including Turkey, showcased a controversial reprimand against the domain of tradition over law and morality. This is the main reason why foreign audiences feel the motivations and intentions of the characters so unfamiliar and alien to them, but stepping into their shows is a challenging task that, no matter how demanding, opens some blind eyes and increases a more comprehensive empathy in them.

99/100.
