Film trivia - page 82
Dhliz holds all sorts of details about hundreds of films, and more are added all the time. You can read through them here:
The amount Amal embezzled: 20 pounds.
Mahmoud Niazy's telephone number: 808892.
Amal and Ashraf Neiazy worked together at "Al Ahleya Import Company"; she worked as a typist and he was the cashier.
Artist Sabrin's name appeared in the credits as a child under the name "Sabrin Yassin".
The film also mocks, in some scenes, the vast difference between Arab and foreign television viewers: the Arab viewer listens with intense focus to a presenter slowly and tediously reading the news, while the foreign viewer listens to similar news presented very briefly and based on facts and figures rather than narrative description.
The film also, as in other works by artist Ahmad Mekky, mocks the weak and superficial level of Egyptian and Arab television programs by presenting a poor model of the talk shows widespread at the time (especially those with hired audiences).
The film mocks the funny translation of some foreign film titles in Egypt's video market, especially during the 1980s and 1990s, aimed at exciting and attracting viewers. It cites the foreign film title "The Challenging Day" being translated as "The Dancer and the Dragon", while also mocking the poor cultural level of Egyptian and Arab media figures, as the announcer misstates the title as "Challenge Day".
Artist Ahmad Mekky's voice appears in the scene where Yehia works as an extra in a film; Ahmad Mekky plays the director by voice only, although he is actually the film's director.
