Al-ayyam al-tawila (Arabic: الأيام الطويلة, romanized: al-ʾAyyām aṭ-Ṭawwīla, lit. 'The Long Days') is a 1980 6-hour long biographical account of Saddam Hussein's attempted assassination of Abd al-Karim Qasim in 1959, although some sources also list a running time of 150 minutes. It was filmed in 1980 and allegedly edited by Terence Young, who also directed three James Bond films.
The film starred Hussein's cousin Saddam Kamal as Saddam and was directed by Tewfik Saleh, who also wrote the screenplay.
