People of Love

People of Love (Arabic: أهل الهوى, transliterated as Hawa al-Ahl) is an Egyptian film released on May 23, 1955.

[1] The playful raqiya dancing girl Fitna (Taheyya Kariokka) uses the wealthy Kamel Abu Dahab (Fouad Shafiq) for expensive favors, while her ne’er-do-well brother Baraka (Mahmoud el-Meliguy) does the same to Kamel's sister while he boards in Abu Dahab's palace as Fitna's manager.

She travels on business to dance in Lebanon alone because Baraka cannot obtain a passport, and there she meets the wealthy Akram Abu Shama (Stephan Rosti), who welcomes her to his mountain estate and showers her with gifts and a marriage proposal.

Baraka and his wife are out on a walk and spot a convincing lookalike of Fitna named Batta, who looks more spirited and speaks without a lisp, so they hire the woman to take her doppelganger's place with the added incentive of working with Shoukry and taking on her brother Baazaq (Abdel Moneim Ibrahim) as her business manager in Lebanon.

Batta and Shoukry fall in love as they film a movie together, but when Fitna returns from Lebanon to get the surgery, Baraka refuses to send her to the same hospital, while Akram sees Kamel and Batta together in the newspapers after completing the movie and thinks Fitna has betrayed him.
