I recall brouhaha. Not much, but some, circa 65? 66? 😜 But from German media! (my mom would pick up Der Stern and Der Spiegel from the import shop) Egypt was a very different place 60 years ago. Nasser was head honcho, and very much trying to bring Egypt "back from the dead."

Anyway, I'm watching , and am digging on the spectacle. It holds up well, and is still glorious cheese.
