Shabe Quzi (1965)
Shab-e Quzi (in Persian: شب قوزی; literally: Night of the Hunchback) is a 1965 Iranian film comedy film directed and produced by Farrokh Ghaffari. The film script was based on a story from One Thousand and One Nights, but arranged for then modern city life in Tehran. This was Ghaffari's third film after Jonub-e Shahr (The South of the City) and Arous Kodumeh? (Which One is Bride) which both didn't have a good grossing. Jalal Moghaddam, another intellectual film director and George Lichensky, Iranian-Assyrian cinematographer encouraged Ghaffari to make this film. At first the story was set in the medieval times as in the anicint stories of One Thousand and One Nights occurred, but the censorship office forced Ghaffari to turn the story of the film to a modern setting.
