A screwball musical that turns surreal toward the end, featuring performances by four of the top stars of the 40s: Anwar Wagdi, Leila Murad, Naguib al-Rihani (his last and best work) and Youssef Wahbi. A poor schoolteacher is hired by an aristocratic father to give private lessons to his failing daughter. The teacher falls in love with his pupil, but keeps his emotions to himself, while saving her from a number of romantic mishaps. The music is excellent and the dialogue often witty and fast-paced enough to rival an American screwball comedy.
