Set in the times of Arabian Nights this film tells the story of
Dananeer, a poor bedouin girl with a beautiful voice. She is discovered
and moves from her harsh desert life to the luxury and decadence of
palaces and estates during the times of Harun Al Rashid. A classic film
featuring some of the most critically acclaimed songs of Oum Kalthoum.
Critics of the time said her voice was at its "zenith". The film was in
part Najeeb Mahfouz's inspiration for his Nobel Prize winning novel
"Khan Al Khalili" in which he described Oum Kolthoum's voice as the
"Heavenly Voice". Starring Oum Kalthoum, Abbas Fares, Suleiman Najeeb,
and Firdaous Hassan. Script by Ahmad Rami, Directed by Ahmad Badrakhan.
Features include full biographies, the original advertising materials,
photo album, original footage, and more. SUBTITLES IN ENGLISH AND
FRENCH. RUNNING TIME 90 MIN.
