Mystery, intrigue and the thrill of the chase are everyday elements in this exciting and exotic thriller based on the struggle to contain the narcotics trade in Egypt. Based on real cases from the files of Egypt's Anti-Narcotics Bureau, it stars Eric Portman as Colonel Youssef Bey, a police chief fanatical in his aim to stem the flow of drugs into his country and bring the traffickers to justice. Laurence Harvey features in an early role as dedicated junior officer Mourad, with French star Maria Mauban in a sympathetic performance as Mourad's wife, Marie; the cast also includes tragically short-lived Egyptian star Camelia. Filmed on location in Cairo, Port Said and Suez, Cairo Road is featured here in a brand-new transfer from original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
