Antara Dua Darjat

‘Between Two Classes’ — written, directed by & starring P. Ramlee

Gazali, a humble singer, falls for the aristocrat's daughter Tengku Zaleha — a love divided by rank and lineage, and carried by one of P. Ramlee's most enduring songs, Getaran Jiwa.

Tengku Zaleha memandang tiap-tiap makhluk yang dijadikan Tuhan adalah sama; yang menjadi ukuran bukanlah pangkat, tetapi budi dan bahasa.
