-Comment: I think about 4 young girls in different sailor dresses (pictured), one with pigtails. I don't know her name. Also women of all ages in sailor dresses and Ron Howard in a short white sailor suit, white collar, red stripes and one standard suit (patterned jacket with a collar). And lots of others in historical clothings, including hats and boys in breeches and boots (at 1h02 and even dancing at 1h56). Also 3 boys (2 shirtless) and men in bib overalls (see my other blog).

Update: I have finally bought this DVD (cropped 4:3 UK version, see other blog). Much more sailor dresses than thought (most at 0:31) and even Ron Howard (2 short scenes, one sitting as pictured, one walking (at 0:45).

I like this film (rating 10/10 for shirtless bib overalls scenes). Also perfect songs (like Wells Fargo Wagon by Ron Howard (pictured below) and others).
There is also a 2003 remake which I still have to check again.
For more informations and overalls pics, see my overalls blog. For sailor suits now rating 9 (was 7).
Pic below showing Ron Howard shortly after singing "Wells Fargo Wagon". The girl with the pigtails watched him. Also showing a girl and woman in sailor dresses in the background.

At 1h25 there are some old, fat and ugly women dancing in sailor dresses. One of the oldest women in sailor dresses and also the longest collar I've seen so far (will make an separate entry of that soon). Perfect musical and costumes, good plot. Timeless. Movie is 145 minutes long.
