Pinangan

(title translation: Proposal)

Icang bin Japrit, a rich man in the village who is dubbed Japrit the limp, since his legs are not the same length, is given special shoes by Sabeni. Then he becomes confident and proposes to Roro Melati, the daughter of Wiro Senjoyo. But then, a dispute on ownership status of a pool occurs and both sides see the pool as their respective property. There are attempts from the director to adapt the “lenong style” (lenong is a traditional theatre performance from Betawi) for this film. So the central location of the story takes place in a tavern where characters come in and go. Director Sjuman Djaya presented this film in a cheerful tone and fast tempo, to achieve the atmosphere where people gather to play and make fun of each other.
