-Comment: 15 or 16 yo Truan Munro (pictured right) as 11 yo orphan and whipping boy Jemmy (Tommi in German) in light blue satin breeches like aristocratic clothes. And Nic Knight (left) as Prince Horace aka Prince Brat (Prince Boris in German).

Not Lederhosen or sailor suits, but very good historical clothing and spanking scenes (of both boys). One of my favorite movies of it's kind (like Prince and the Pauper). Novel by Albert Sidney Fleischman (Newbery Award), died in 2010. Good plot and good acting of both (although the Prince is a bit young overweighted). Film rated G aka "Prince Brat and the Whipping Boy". In the second half in the woods they don't wear those white ruffles anymore.
