-Comment: At least 2 boys in white sailor suits and at least one younger boy in blue sailor suit (pictured). I think I have seen this movie many years ago and so I don't remember all scenes completely. Not sure about Lederhosen. And I didn't had the time to watch it recently, but I will check it next TV broadcasting. Lots of actors, so I don't know all their names. Most of them might be uncredited background kids. Quite good and exciting film (for that time). There are also 4 later films, partly foreign productions. The color version of 1954 (available on DVD together with the b/w version) is with a young boy in buckskin Lederhosen. But besides a film poster I couldn't find any clips or trailers on the web. I don't like the modern remake of 2001 (starring Tobias Retzlaff). But I will check all films again. Film aka Emil and the Detectives. Famous novel published 1929. Not sure about the time in the film. Probably timeless and different in later films. I will make a separate entry for the 1954 Lederhosen film.
Update: I have just seen a preview on TV of the 1954 version which will be aired on Anixe on August 26. Entry with pic follows shortly.
