Desc: Putus harapan: Directed by B. Narayan Rao. With Nordin Ahmad, S.M. Hamid, Mariani, Musalmah. Yusof's (P. Ramlee) parents are killed in a massive factory fire. Hashim, the kind and wealthy factory owner, adopts him and regards him as one of his own children, much to the dismay of his wife. (Hashim already has two kids, Fatimah and Osman.) Yusof is well-liked by his foster sister Fatimah (Rokiah) and they grew up to be lovers. The film takes a melodramatic turn when Hashim dies of sickness, and the malevolent foster mother denies Yusof of his inheritance, bars him from further education, and treats him as a domestic slave. What's worse, Yusof is separated from his beloved when Fatimah is sent to the city to study in a college. Yusof is elated when he learns of Fatimah and Osman's return and picks them up at the train station (Tanjong Pagar Railway Station), only to be rebuffed by his peers and foster brother, and ordered like a servant to carry their luggage. Despite the setbacks, Yusof stays committed to Fatimah. In the film's final moments when Fatimah is dying, Yusof stays by her deathbed, sings her a last tune (in the guise of P. Ramlee), and cradles her dead body, in enigmatic style, up and across the monumental stairs and vast plains at Bukit Batok Hill.
