Layla and Majnun (Persian: لیلی و مجنون, romanized: Leyli va Majnun), also spelled as Leili-o-Majnun or Laili-o-Majnoon, is a 1937 Iranian romance film produced in 1937 by Abdolhossein Sepanta by the East India Film Studios.
The explanatory notes on editing and film processing are offered and scene descriptions are mostly accompanied by carefully worked-out drawings.
Sepanta commented on the failure of this final film: "In September 1936, I arrived in Bushehr with a print of Laila and Majnun.
Due to bu-reaucratic complications, the film print could not be immediately released, and we had to leave for Tehran without it.
The authorities did not value cinema as an art form or even as a means of mass communication, and I soon realized that I had to forget about my dream of establishing a film studio.
