Shamadan (1948) خلود
There are shamadans (candelabras) aplenty in this wedding scene from the 1948 film Khuloud (Immortality خلود) which starred legendary Egyptian actress Faten Hamama. The dancer in the centre who doesnt have a shamadan and is wearing the dark top is Hoda Shamseddine (Shams El Din). The film also starred Kamal al Shinnawi and Faten Hamamas then husband Ezz el Din Zulficar who wrote and directed it. The singer in this clip is Abdel Aziz Mahmoud. Trivia: Faten Hamama divorced Ezz el Din Zulficar in 1953 and the following year she married Omar Sharif.
