Curiosità

The Will or Determination is a 1939 Egyptian film, directed by Kamal Selim. It stars Fatima Rushdi. The film is considered one of the greatest Egyptian movies of all time, and has been voted the best Egyptian film of all time in the list of Top 100 Egyptian films in 20th century, among other websites and magazines. The Will was produced by Egypt Film Studio for Studio Misr and was released on November 6, 1939 by Studio Misr.

Production

Director Kamal Selim took great care on the production design aspect of filming, in order to make it seem as if he had filmed live at the slums of Egypt. As a result, it is considered the first film to accurately and realistically display the slums of Egypt. Kamal Selim was earnest to make a film depicting the real Egyptian community, but the film was initially rejected by Studio Misr's manager for discussing such a sensitive topic.

Kamal Selim's choice fell on Fatma Rouchdi as the lead actress of the film, whose wages were the highest in the industry at that time. Mahmoud el-Meliguy was the planned lead actor for the film, but he declined the role for being engaged with his theatre work, and hence Anwar Wagdy was assigned the role.
