Samiha Tawfik (1952)

In these scenes from the 1952 Egyptian film ‘Kaas al Azaab’ ( The Cup of Suffering كأس العذاب), Samiha Tawfik opens ‘playing’ the drums then at she reappears in a galabeya then a bedlah. The two girls wearing tutus are Awatef and Ragaa Yousef. ‘Kaas al Athab’ starred Farid Shawki, Faten Hamama and Mohsen Sarhan. I’m not sure of the name of the dancer in the second scene, it may be Aida Ali. Trivia: Samiha Tawfik was Naima Akef’s cousin.
