“Egyptian Dinner Show” (1982) Super 8mm Film Home Movie, Egypt, Horse, Dancers +

This film has so many things going on. The setting for the film is a small restaurant in Egypt (literal BFE) with a cloth roof for shade and a small stage surrounded by tables. Throughout the film wait staff and patrons are coming going. And the show goes on. Classic. With all the high kicks and stick fight dancing inches from the tables it’s surprising no one got clocked.

This is a silent film.
