# Tamr Henna (1957)

1957 · Music · Egypt


## Synopsis

Tamr Henna Arabic: تمر حنه ("Tamarind") is a 1957 Egyptian musical drama film directed by Hussein Fawzy. The film stars some of Egypt's most prominent stars of the era, including Ahmed Ramzy, Rushdy Abaza, Fayza Ahmed, Naima Akef, and Zeinat Sedki. Set in a time where gypsies still roamed Egypt freely and had their own areas of living. This movie tells the tale of a rich man falling in love with a gypsy and transforming her into a socialite in order for her to be accepted by his family, and so he can win a bet. However, as the movie progresses, a love triangle forms between the girl, the rich man, and the carnival's strong man, and that leads to heightened drama.
