Hi, obviously not much wrong here, but a few quibbles

  • The film's cast continued to act — not sure why this isn't quite right, it reads as if it's unusual for actors to continue to act after making a film. Perhaps something based around "went on to" might give a better sense?
  • How's remained active in the Indonesian film industry? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:23, 14 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • As such, his wife Soelastri — "As such" doesn't make sense, it should refer to her, not him, and is redundant anyway
  • Trying to show causality, seems I've failed. Reworded. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:23, 14 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • Untrusting of his wife and unwilling to accept the possibility that she will be unfaithful, — too many "un-"s for my taste, can it be rephrased?
  • pass her as a maid for Asrad. pass her off as?
  • he and Soelastri reconcile. — "are reconciled" seems more idiomatic
  • and all but one studio was closed — "were"
  • All but one studio were closed sounds very odd to me, so I've gone with another choice. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:23, 14 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • This included all of Multi Film's — "of" is redundant
  • All were of propagandic nature — I'd write "a propagandic nature
  • served more... Max Tera served as — change one of the "served"s

I'll have a second look and do the image/ref checks when you have had time to respond Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:34, 14 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • Thanks for the review, hope you found the article interesting. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:23, 14 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'm happy with all the changes above. Round two! just a few suggestions, really, before I sign this off

  • soon reaches wide acclaim. — I just wonder if "achieves" reads better than "reaches"?
  • The image licences are complicated, but seem OK as far as I understand them. Is it possible to process File:Ali Yugo in Djaoeh di Mata.jpg to improve the appearance? I don't know, just asking the question.
  • Part of it is because of the halftoning used in the original printing process, which makes playing with the levels a pain in the butt. This image was printed right on the fold, which is what that black mark is. I could probably get rid of it later, — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:54, 14 July 2013 (UTC)\Reply
  • Some of your short-form references have roman font for publications which are italicised in the "Works cited", eg Het Dagblad/Het Dagblad. Is there a logic to this?
  • Essentially because the coding is a pain (have to use .27.27Het Dagblad.27.27 to get it to work properly; this has not been a problem to date in FACs, although I have no issue with changing to italics here. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:54, 14 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
