I liked the movie for its melodrama and Ramlee's superb acting. Of course, acting honours for the mother-in-law. Couldn't surpass her performance. Her evil seemed so real. And a bonus - the sad but lovely song "Di mana kan ku cari ganti" - a Ramlee classic sung in his inimitable way. You probably don't need musical backing when he sings. The whole story is so credible that you need to have the tissue box next to you. It has a sad ending. But if you can the VCD, don't wait. Watch it and enjoy Ramlee's genius. As children, we loved to see his movies even though we were not Malays. His movies were made for all and sundry to enjoy.
