- 16 December 1957 (1957-12-16)
El Hakim is a 1957 West German drama film directed by Rolf Thiele and starring O.W. Fischer, Michael Ande and Nadja Tiller.[1] [2] It was shot in Eastmancolor at the Göttingen Studios and on location in Egypt. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Wolf Englert and Ernst Richter.
Synopsis
A young Egyptian from a poor background qualifies as a doctor after studying medicine in Cairo. He becomes a successful doctor, not losing sight of his commitment to assist the poorest in society. He encounters Aziza, who falls in love with him, but he ignores her - becoming interested instead in the sophisticated Lady Avon, whose protegee he becomes. After years in London and Paris as a society doctor, he realises that Aziza was the right woman for him.
