Musang Berjanggut (English: The Bearded Fox) is 1959 Singaporean Malay-language black-and-white period romantic comedy film directed by and starring P.
[2] Tun Nila Utama, the adopted prince of Pura Cendana, is instructed by the king to choose a bride.
To test a woman’s worthiness, Tun Nila devises a challenge: he carries a bag containing a mix of rice, salt, chili, onions, garlic, and spices.
Eventually, Tun Nila meets Puspawangi, a young woman of remarkable intelligence, and visits her family.
Advising that the civet fears women, the ministers send Tun Nila alone to search for it, leaving Puspawangi behind.
She humiliates each man by urging them to prove their love through ridiculous tasks and convinces them to hide when the next suitor arrives.
