From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Poesaka Terpendam

Poesaka Terpendam (Buried Treasure) is a film from the Dutch East Indies produced by Tan's Film and starring Roekiah, Djoemala, and Kartolo. Roekiah was a favourite with Indonesian audiences and likened to Dorothy Lamour and Janet Gaynor. It seems likely that the film has been lost; following a fire in 1952 in Produksi Film Negara's storage facility, many old films shot on nitrate were deliberately destroyed.

This advertisement for Poesaka Terpendam was published in the magazine Poestaka Timoer ahead of the film's debut on October 22, 1941. The caption below the illustration, in Indonesian, translates to: "Frightening! Shocking! Great fights! Funny! Heart-pulling! The acting of Roekia, Indonesia's greatest fan-favourite movie star, will make viewers awed and satisfied, and Kartolo's foolery will make all viewers laugh without end!"
