Maria

This is the movie that made Shuhaimi Baba famous and although it was made for TV, it is her best work, with none of the bombast that marks some of her later film work. A newly married couple, fresh out of university, finds that life isn't so rosy when you have to deal with the responsibilities of marriage and domesticity. Two of the finest local actors - Fatimah Abu Bakar and the late, great Mustaffa Noor - are crucial in making this anchored in reality. The lazy, phone-hogging maid is great! As are the supporting characters, the friends who help this couple cope with life.
