Just what I expected

Crappy film

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This is one of those good versus evil stories with P.Ramlee pairing with his sometime writing collabrator, S.Kadarisman, as his older brother. It is a one time pairing that works excellently but was cleverly avoided for a second time. This is the perfect movie to watch Ahmad Nisfu at his evil best but even then, it's difficult to really truly hate him as he does it with such comedic contempt that you can't help but like him. Even Salleh Kamil, who seldom appears in a good supporting role did very well and even added an ironic hilarity with his Charlie Chaplin moustache, making him look like he was really sinister but yet harmless.The supporting cast for this movie is fundamental in each of their own right and provide a nice folklore setting for a contemporary movie. Unfortunately, the women are just cosmetic ornaments in this movie, providing a relief for eye sores with all the male testorones leaping around the set. The music is listenable and one especially is really poignant 'Sedangkan Lidah Lagi Tergigit' sung by P.Ramlee and his on-screen wife Sarimah with the voice provided by his real wife, Saloma. It's a song about marriage and sets a moralistic tone in the movie about husband and wife.All's well's that end's well in this movie but it was really great to watch Abdul Wahub teach his nemesises a good lesson.
