Sleepless (1957)

Sleepless is a 1957 Egyptian melodrama film. It is considered a classic of Egyptian film, and is, to my knowledge, the first Egyptian film I've seen. Melodramas aren't my preferred genre, but this is an interesting movie. I found the Electra Complex plot unpleasant enough, though, that I didn't finish it.

The online video I watched is gone, and now I can't even find a trailer.

  1. ...with all my gardening, sleeplessness isn't an issue.

    1. I do a lot of little gardening and big exercise, but sleeplessness has been a problem for a while.

  2. It's too bad these films pop in and out of existence. At least you shared it, which is important.

    1. That they disappear so completely is bizarre. Not even a trailer? Weird.

  3. Doesn't look appealing to me and since you didn't finish it--that seals the deal--LOL! ;)

    1. It was Egyptian, though, which was the only draw lol
