Laki-Laki Tak Bernama was written and directed by Wim Umboh (also known as Achmad Salim) for Annie Mambo's Aries Film. The film was shot by Lukman Hakim Nain[1]inCinemaScope and Eastmancolor.[2]Idris Sardi provided the music, while Umboh handled editing.[1] According to Tempo, the film was rumored to have been shot without a screenplay.[3]
Laki-Laki Tak Bernama was released in 1969.[1] It was advertised as the first Indonesian sex film,[2] as well as "the only National film that is the bravest and biggest . . . . with SEX scenes which are explicit without pulling any punches". The poster featured images of kissing and a woman undressing, and urged viewers to take their girlfriends to see the film.[6]
J.B. Kristanto, in his catalogue of Indonesian films, writes that, though Laki-Laki Tak Bernama builds its characters sufficiently, the film's plot is convoluted and unclear.[1]
