The consensus after much discussion, is that the dancer in this scene from the 1985 film ‘Maqass Amm Qandil’ (Uncle Qandil’s Scissors مقص عم قنديل) is Laila Hamdi (the dancer not Leila Hamdi the comedienne). Any thoughts?
The film starred Farid Shawki, Athar El Hakim and Salah El Saadani and told the story of a local barber who also performs minor surgery for people in the neighbourhood. He’s sent to jail after a client dies when a procedure goes wrong. While Qandil’s imprisoned, his son who works in a currency exchange, uses the barber shop to carry on an illegal business.
