Ghazal Al Banat (Arabic: غزل البنات, English: The Flirtation of Girls) is a 1949 Egyptian film. It is Naguib Al Rihani's last film and was shown in cinemas after his death. Ghazal Al Banat was also the last appearance of Mohamed Abdel Wahab in film. The film was produced by Anwar Wagdi, who was married to the female lead, Laila Mourad. The film also featured the first on-screen appearance of Hind Rostom, age 18 at the time, in a minor role as one of Laila's friends in the opening scene. However, Rostom was replaced in future scenes with Laila's friends because the producer felt she looked too young to be in Laila's friend group.
The movie was chosen by critics among the nine best 100 films in the history of Egyptian cinema in 1996 poll.[1]
