Al-ayyam al-tawila (Arabic: الأيام الطويلة|al-ʾAyyām aṭ-Ṭawwīla|The Long Days) is a 1980 6-hour long biographical account of Saddam Hussein's attempted assassination of Abd al-Karim Qasim in 1959, although some sources also list a running time of 150 minutes. It was filmed in 1980 and allegedly edited by Terence Young, who also directed three James Bond films.
