A promotional flyer for
Lagu Kenangan ('Song of Memories'), a 1953 Indonesian film directed by L. Inata and produced by
Djamaluddin Malik for the Persari Film Corporation. Starring
Titien Sumarni and
A. N. Alcaff, the film tells the story of a composer, Supardi, who lives with his wife, Surjati, and their two children Janti and Janto. The couple often fight, owing to Supardi's late hours, as he does his best work at night when the children are sleeping. Things escalate to the point that Surjati takes Janti and leaves. This separation nearly ends in divorce, but eventually with the support of their parents, Surjati and Supardi are able to reconcile. The film was one in a long line of commercially oriented ventures which had been produced by the Persari Film Corporation, starting with
Sedap Malam in 1950.
