Mona Ibrahim and Nawal al Saghira (1969)

Two clips from the 1969 Egyptian movie Al Ataba Gazaaz (The Glass Step العتبة جزاز ) starring Fouad al Mohandes and his then wife Shweiker. The bellydancer in the first scene is Mona Ibrahim and in the second scene we see Nawal al Saghira dancing. The singer is possibly Faten Farid but Im not sure. The film is a comedy and follows the story of a man who bears an uncanny likeness to the head of a crime organisation that operates out of a Cairo nightclub. Why else would a man with a pincer for a hand be sitting at the club s bar :) The same music which is the film s theme song, is used in both clips as the main character played by Fuad al Mohandes turns into a maniac when he hears it (sort of like me when I hear My heart will go on).
