Soft Hands (, translit. al-aydi al-nā'ima) is a 1964 Egyptian comedy film directed by Mahmoud Zulfikar and based on a play of the same name by Egyptian playwright Tawfiq al-Hakim (1953). It was entered into the 14th Berlin International Film Festival.
The plot involves a formerly landed aristocrat dispossessed by the 1952 Egyptian Revolution, which brought in Gamal Abdel Nasser, and an Arabic instructor, both of whom must adjust to the new social and political realities in a new Nasserite socialist Egypt.
Soft Hands is a 2007 jazz album featuring trio led by bassist Ron McClure and also featuring tenor saxophonist Rich Perry and multi-instrumentalist George Colligan, here playing piano.
The album features eight mid-tempo tracks and ballads penned by McClure. Released on SteepleChase (SCCD 31615), the album is being distributed by Discovery.
