Curiosità

Streets of Fire is an Egyptian film released on 12 March 1984. The film is directed by Samir Seif and features a screenplay adapted from the film Irma La Douce, directed by Billy Wilder. It stars Nour El-Sherif and Madiha Kamel.

Production

The film is based on the 1963 film Irma la Douce, starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine and directed by Billy Wilder.

The plot is very similar to that of Hossam El Din Mostafa's 1983 film Route of Passion, starring Madiha Kamel, Yousra, Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, Ahmed Zaki, and Farouk al-Fishawy. A lawsuit dogged the producer of that film, which wound up delayed in the courts for a year. Producer Wassef Fayez took advantage of the opportunity and made a toned-down version of the same story.
