In a rainy night, is a 1939 Egyptian movie, directed by Togo Mizrahi, and starring Youssef Wahby, Leila Mourad. Mahmoud El Meligy.
Fi Laylah Mumtira (In a Rainy Night) is an Egyptian social drama that dissects the intersection of patriarchy, deception, and desperate circumstance. Saniya, an educated young woman, sees her chance at love thwarted when her father rejects her suitor. The rejected man retaliates with manipulation, compromising her honor. Desperate to conceal the scandal, her father arranges a hasty marriage with Ahmed, a poor mechanic who accepts the arrangement only because he urgently needs money to pay for his ailing mother's treatment. The film unfolds as a sobering portrait of social pressure and the quiet tragedies endured by ordinary people when pride and poverty collide — a hallmark of classic Egyptian melodrama.
