A clip from the 1949 film Al Bait al Kabir (The Big House) in which Taheya Carioca plays the role of a young widow who marries a divorced elderly doctor. He is much older than she is and he can't keep up with her wild group of friends. In this scene she dances a lively Swing with Ali Reda the older brother of Mahmoud Reda.(wearing the striped tie and dark jacket) Both brothers appear in this film. Ali Reda was the real life husband of Farida Fahmy. He was a gifted dancer and an actor as well and he appeared in several films long before his brother began a dancing career.
Also in this scene is famous singer Abdel Ghani el Sayed (gesturing for the record player to begin)
