P Ramlee's movies are labelled as national treasures, but unfortunately, it does not belong to the National Archives but are under Shaw Organization's possession due to its owners' foresight. Some of the prints are even missing.
I know of two of his movies banned by RTM or Censors for topics not suitable for national integration. One is 'Gelora' which dwelt with an adult topic, and the other is "Minta Nombor Ekor' for depicting gambling!
Recently managed to view 'Minta Nombor Ekor' on YouTube. 'Gelora' still remains elusive! Only a few clips of the show can be seen on Youtube. Here, here, here.
Minta Nombor Ekor
Minta Nombor Ekor
Kisah dua orang sahabat, Ramlee dan Raden yang menyewa di sebuah bilik. Mereka ingin cepat menjadi kaya dan selalu bermain judi 'tiga nombor ekor'. Berbagai cara dilakukan oleh mereka semata-mata untuk mendapatkan nombor yang paling bertuah. Mereka berdua juga mencintai gadis yang sama bernama Safiah yang bekerja di kedai nombor ekor itu.
