Waheed ([[Farid al-Atrash]]) and his sister Nadia ([[Asmahan]]) leave the [[Levant]] by train to follow their acting dreams, and on the train they meet teacher Al-Attar ([[Abdel Fatah Al Kasri]]). Al-Attar invites them to live with him and Umm Ismail ([[Mary Mounib]]) alongside the mediocre trio going by Jawz ([[Fouad Shafiq]]), Lawz ([[Hassan Fayek]]), and Bunduq ([[Hassan Kamel]]) (translated as “[[Walnut]], [[Almond]], and [[Hazelnut]]”). Upon hearing Wahid and Nadia, the troika leads them to Nojoom Al Lail (“Night Stars”) Casino, whose manager Khawaja Bechara Al-Gandhali ([[Bishara Wakim]]) becomes smitten with Nadia and hires all five performers. Next to encounter Nadia are a [[Pasha]]’s son named Muhyi ([[Anwar Wagdi]]) and his friend Fawzi ([[Abdel Salam Al Nabulsy]]). Nadia declines to date him at first, but he invites her to sing at a party in his manor and ends up marrying her, prompting Bechara to fire the whole troupe and Umm Ismail to evict them since she left the Casino and they cannot pay the housing fee without her revenues. Waheed reads an advertisement for cinema singers and auditions for music teacher Taha Taha ([[Stephan Rosti]]), whose jealousy scotches Waheed's chance, but Waheed does meet and fall in love with Taha's sister Ehsan ([[Rawhiyya Khaled]]). A record company director is impressed with his voice and books him on the radio, earning him fame and the income to rent an apartment in the tony [[Zamalek]] district of [[Cairo]] with Jawz and Umm Ismail (who are now married). When Muhyi's mother Bahia Hanim ([[Alwiya Gamil]]) learns that her new in-laws Nadia and Waheed are singers, she asks her son to divorce Nadia or leave home. Muhyi pursues Nadia as she leaves, and he crashes into a train and is taken to the hospital, where Nadia urges him to return home. Ehsan goes to Waheed's house and meets Nadia at the door, who lies to Ehsan that the siblings are married, prompting Ehsan and Taha to leave upset for the Levant. Unsure how to produce his operetta, Waheed turns to the Nut Trio, who trick Bechara into producing it to get closer to Nadia (who they tell Bechara is aiming to leave Muhyi); it ends happily ever after with the operetta a hit, Nadia returning to Muhyi, and Ehsan returning to Waheed.<ref>{{cite web |title=Intisar al-Shabab |url=https://elcinema.com/work/1011624/content |website=El Cinema |access-date=25 June 2021}}</ref>

Intisar al-Shabab (Arabic: نتصار الشباب, lit. 'The Victory of Youth, or The Triumph of Youth')[1][2] is an Egyptian film released in 1941.[3][4] It was the first film featuring sibling actor-singers Asmahan and her brother Farid al-Atrash, the latter of whom composed all the songs in the film.[5][6] Al-Atrash presented the operetta-within-a-film ليلة في الأندلس (“A Night in Andalusia”), the first of several lyrical theatre pieces in Egyptian cinema, including text from poet Ahmed Rami quoted from The Barber of Seville. The operetta includes two acts with four scenes and features music in the maqam of Ajam.[7]

When the film was shown in southern Syria in 1941, the Druze tribal men shot rifles the screen in reaction to seeing actress Asmahan, who came from a noble Druze family, shown in the film in make-up and dressed in Western-style clothing.[8]

Synopsis

[edit]

Waheed (Farid al-Atrash) and his sister Nadia (Asmahan) leave the Levant by train to follow their acting dreams, and on the train they meet teacher Al-Attar (Abdel Fatah Al Kasri).[9] Al-Attar invites them to live with him and Umm Ismail (Mary Mounib) alongside the mediocre trio going by Jawz (Fouad Shafiq), Lawz (Hassan Fayek), and Bunduq (Hassan Kamel) (translated as “Walnut, Almond, and Hazelnut”). Upon hearing Wahid and Nadia, the troika leads them to Nojoom Al Lail (“Night Stars”) Casino, whose manager Khawaja Bechara Al-Gandhali (Bishara Wakim) becomes smitten with Nadia and hires all five performers. Next to encounter Nadia are a Pasha’s son named Muhyi (Anwar Wagdi) and his friend Fawzi (Abdel Salam Al Nabulsy). Nadia declines to date him at first, but he invites her to sing at a party in his manor and ends up marrying her, prompting Bechara to fire the whole troupe and Umm Ismail to evict them since she left the Casino and they cannot pay the housing fee without her revenues. Waheed reads an advertisement for cinema singers and auditions for music teacher Taha Taha (Stephan Rosti), whose jealousy scotches Waheed's chance, but Waheed does meet and fall in love with Taha's sister Ehsan (Rawhiyya Khaled). A record company director is impressed with his voice and books him on the radio, earning him fame and the income to rent an apartment in the tony Zamalek district of Cairo with Jawz and Umm Ismail (who are now married). When Muhyi's mother Bahia Hanim (Alwiya Gamil) learns that her new in-laws Nadia and Waheed are singers, she asks her son to divorce Nadia or leave home. Muhyi pursues Nadia as she leaves, and he crashes into a train and is taken to the hospital, where Nadia urges him to return home. Ehsan goes to Waheed's house and meets Nadia at the door, who lies to Ehsan that the siblings are married, prompting Ehsan and Taha to leave upset for the Levant. Unsure how to produce his operetta, Waheed turns to the Nut Trio, who trick Bechara into producing it to get closer to Nadia (who they tell Bechara is aiming to leave Muhyi); it ends happily ever after with the operetta a hit, Nadia returning to Muhyi, and Ehsan returning to Waheed.[3]
