Release and reception
Ikan Doejoeng was released in late 1941. By September of that year it had been screened in Medan,Шаблон:Sfn and by December it had reached Surabaya.Шаблон:Sfn It was rated "for all audiences" ("voor all leeftijden").Шаблон:Sfn The Indonesian film historian Misbach Yusa Biran suggests that the film was likely targeted at the growing native intellectual class, citing the plot. He writes, however, that the Ikan DoejoengШаблон:'s technical quality was on par with films aimed at uneducated audiences.Шаблон:Sfn The film was advertised as having a "deeply poignant theme of pure love", which would give viewers "a good perspective on the Eastern mentality."Шаблон:EfnШаблон:Sfn
Lie would go on to direct one last film for Standard, Siti Noerbaja, in 1942; he ultimately left the company. Standard closed later that year, having released three films: the last, Selendang Delima (Pomegranate Shawl), was directed by Henry L. Duarte.Шаблон:Sfn
The film is likely lost. The American visual anthropologist Karl G.
