Giulio de Luca and Karam Boustany

Giulio de Luca is an Italian who directs this film in Beirut, from a screenplay by the Lebanese Karam Boustany; other histories of cinema name the two men as co-directors. The film is produced by Lumnar Films, a studio that Herta Gargour had set up in her own house in the early 1930s, and which she ran. The history of Lebanese cinema remembers their names above all as those of the makers of the country's first talking picture.
