influences on the influence

Ever wonder how Art Deco was configured in other places?
Specifically in areas which contributed mightily to the style itself?
I was so happy to find this film from Egypt in the 1930s. Look:





These shots could be from a Hollywood film, but there's more. Women with permanent waves and fur collars alongside men in muslim dress on bicycles. Signs in French and Arabic and English. Beautiful set design too:



Nice painting over the elevator doors. There weren't any clear shots, but it's a rendition of two figures in twisted perspective. The opening of Tutankhamen's tomb in 1922 inspired designers in the creation of the design elements that signify Art Deco. It's interesting to see those elements here in Egypt at the same time as they were popular elsewhere.

Everything is Fine (1938)
directed by Niazi Mostafa
cinematography by Mohammed Abdel Azeem

I'll have to dig up some silent Egyptian cinema - any suggestions?
