WIFE NO. 13 (1962) [Feature]

United Arab Republic (MIFF1964)
Director: Fatine Abdel Wahab

Adam is the only man who associated with only one woman. As the number of women increased there came a time when man possessed a harem. King Shahriar held the record, with an affair with a different maid each night until he met the wily Scheherezade . . . The famous legend of Shuhrinr and Scheherezade is still sometimes repeated in our days — this contemporary story is about contemporary Sehchcreznde who does the Twist.

Mourad Salem is not only a very rich man, he is also a fast worker. He meets a local beauty on the beach at Alexandria and within a day they are wedded. How­ever, it takes much longer before she is bedded.
