El Hakim is a 1957 West German drama film directed by Rolf Thiele and starring O.W.

The film's sets were designed by the art directors Wolf Englert and Ernst Richter.

A young Egyptian from a poor background qualifies as a doctor after studying medicine in Cairo.

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.
