Salah Asuhan

Based On the book by Abdul Muis

Salah Asuhan (literally Wrong Upbringing, released internationally as The Misfit) is a 1972 film directed by Asrul Sani, produced by Andy Azhar, and starring Dicky Zulkarnaen, Ruth Pelupessy, and Rima Melati. Adapted from Abdoel Moeis' 1928 novel of the same name, it tells of a man who betrays his upbringing for the metropolitan life, while at the same time marrying an Indo woman instead of the one chosen by his mother. Sani attempted to update the story to fit 1970s Indonesia, although the majority of the plot remained the same; critics have doubted his success, noting anachronistic worldviews. Salah Asuhan was runner-up for two awards given by the Indonesian Reporters' Society.
