Sam Pek Eng Tay (Chinese: 山伯英台; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: San-pek Eng-tâi) is a 1931 film directed and produced by The Teng Chun and released in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia).
[1] Sam Pek Eng Tay was directed and produced by The Teng Chun, the son of a Chinese-Indonesian merchant who had studied film in Los Angeles, US.
He had made his directorial debut shortly before producing Sam Pek Eng Tay, with Boenga Roos dari Tjikembang (The Rose of Cikembang).
[1] Sam Pek Eng Tay was released in 1931 by The Teng Chun's Cino Motion Picture to commercial success,[3] mostly targeting ethnic Chinese audiences.
[6] These later films, emphasising silat, were generally profitable, and allowed The Teng Chun to dominate the industry until after the release of Albert Balink's Terang Boelan (Full Moon) in 1937.
