Note that while we can find U.S. newspaper articles about the filming of this movie, we can find no theater ads for it. This indicates that, if there was a U.S. release in the 1950s, it was very limited. When the film was released in the U.S. in 1960, it was titled "Dance of Desire" and marketed almost as a sexploitation movie, focusing on Samia Gamal and her "torrid dance" scenes! While the 1960 release could be the first U.S. release for this film, we'll list it as a re-release until we learn more. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
