Queen of the Bee, 1950, (bottom right at school during a spelling contest together with some other boys and girls (but others without sailor suits) in sailor dresses and 2 young boys (pic above on right, ep Mama's Nursery School, 1955) in white sailor suits with white collars and blue scarfs. Also other older boys with scarfs and at least 3 men in bib overalls.

This is a TV series with the same plot as the movie "I Remember Mama (1948)" starring Barbara Bel Geddes, see previous entry. The series is into Public Domain, however there are only 6 episodes left. The most live broadcasted shows seem to be lost.

I have only seen some few parts of it and will check them completely soon. Rating 5 for now.
