Professor Rhageebs Widow


Shortly after Greg Peck spoke to the arabian premier he bursts into the House of Professor Rhageebs widow, a dark cloaked woman in a room full of Birdcages. they talk a litte. The actress porttraying her is not in the IMDB list but looks hautingly familiar to me. Who has information???

reply

is it Frieda Dowie?

reply

It may be Olwen Brookes. BFI lists Ms. Brookes as playing in the film, but does not state her character. There are no other significant characters left unidentified.

reply

ohhh. its Malya Nappi and i recognized her from ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. (where she played the "mother" of the evil tribe, t which John Richardson and Martine Beswick belonged)

reply

Definitely Malya Nappi. Strange looking woman with that unfortunate nose.

reply

Look again. She is on the IMDB complete cast list, as "Ragheeb's wife".

reply

She looks like Fernandel. I'd say Malya Nappi is Fernandel in drag

reply

I thought she looked like Alec Guinness in drag....
