Arguably P Ramlee's best effort amongst all his films. Ibu Mertuaku (My Mother-in-law) in summary is the story of Kassim Selamat, a talented musician, who falls in love with Sabariah. Life however does not go smoothly and Kassim's mother-in-law Nyonya Mansor opposes the relationship, and has no respect for the musician, due to his background and occupation and forces Sabariah to go for Nyonya Mansor's preferred companion, the MD Dr Ismadi. Kassim's grief causes him to go blind, and what follows next is a story of more grief for Kassim.
P Ramlee is as usual brilliant, Sarimah has really matured with a few films under her nose, and Mak Dara does a good job of playing the hated Nyonya Mansor.
