Director : Lamberto V.Avellana and P.Ramlee (uncredited) | Cast :
P.Ramlee, Jins Shamsuddin
Based on the true story of Sarjan Hassan, a soldier during the
turbulent time when World War 2 was at Malaya's doorstep. At the
beginning, Hassan was called a coward by the villagers as he was
forced to stay behind to take care of the plantation left by his
step father. Unable to stand the heckling, Hassan decided to run
away and become a young soldier. He was soon promoted to the rank
of Sergeant and rose to become a hero of the people. Sarjan Hassan
is the only war movie in P.Ramlee's extensive career, and it is
also widely considered to be his directorial debut, as he shares
the roles of directing the film with Lamberto Avellana from the
Philippines.

Director: P.Ramlee | Cast: P.Ramlee, Sarimah, Zera Agus
P. Ramlee takes a hilarious dig at polygamy in Madu Tiga (Rivals
Three). Jamal (P. Ramlee) takes three wives without one knowing the
other's existence. Together with his father-in-law's approval and
help, he delicately juggles his marriage(s) with ingenious lies,
but as luck will have it, the three women become friends after a
chance meeting at the salon. Jamal's "three-way tango" soon gets
discovered and his wives gang up to teach him a lesson he will
never forget. This gem of
a comedy won the Best Comedy Award in the 11th Asian Film Festival
in Taipei.
