Said Effendi, is a 1957 Iraqi movie, directed by Kameran Husni, and starring Youssef El Ani, Sousan Husni, Abdel Wahid Taha. with a runtime of 86 minutes.
Said Effendi is an Iraqi social drama that follows Said, a teacher who wanders from one rented room to another before finally settling next door to Azzat, a coffee seller. As Said becomes part of the neighborhood fabric, the film peels back the surface of communal warmth to reveal the hypocrisy, jealousy, and hidden malice simmering beneath. When the landlord asks Said to leave, the neighbors band together in apparent solidarity — but the unity masks deeper tensions that eventually erupt between the children of the two households, drawing Said's son into a confrontation that ends in revenge. A sharp and unsettling portrait of a community that performs kinship while practicing betrayal.
