Exclusive pic#34 sailor suit boy 1930s



This pic showing an older boy maybe 12 or 13 in a sailor suit, probably German. Looks like a typical 1930s haircut. Though sailor suits were quite rare in the 1930s as they had to wear uniforms. The pic is part of a real photo postcard but bought in that condition from near Hamburg. 2 older people had been cut off, maybe his parents or grandparents?

Good collar, sadly the length can't be seen. I also like his ears.

Christmas film starring Tim Allen
-Year: 2002
-Year in film: 2000s
-Country: USA
-Who in clothing: kids fake Lederhosen, sailor suits
-Who in clothing 2: (teen) boys, girls overalls
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Clothing occurence: often
-Rating:  2/10
-Rating: **
-Comment: Some kids (as elves) at least one (is this a girl ?, looks like a girl) in fake dark Lederhosen or pants with H-style suspenders and some in sailor style costumes (pic 2). Pic 3 below showing a girl (?) in a real blue sailor suit and collar (pic is from The Santa Clause 3 which is very similar). Also (teen) boys, girls and adults in snow bibs and other bib overalls (see my overalls blog, rating 3, tagged snow bibs).

I don't like at all these Christmas movies with these fake costumes. Lots of kids but in fact no scenes of interest. Though quite entertaining family movies.

Rating 1-2.

Buddenbrooks (2008)



Drama starring Armin Mueller-Stahl
-Year: 2008
-Year in film: 1870s
-Country: Germany
-Who in clothing: Hanno ~14, sailor suit, other cl.
-Who in clothing 2: boy sailor suit, choir boys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Clothing occurrence: very low
-Rating:  3/10
-Rating: ***
-Comment: Raban Bieling (pics 1+2) in a light green beige sailor suit, very long collar flap (but one scene at the end only, also falling in water and underwater scene, also a close up of the collar, rear view and side view at a distance), also other clothing and ruffled collar. One other boy in a medium blue sailor suit, white collar (but from a distance, brief scene, pic 3). And choir boys with white big collars (also at the end).

The beginning is set in the 1840s, but the end is much later (Hanno aka Johann is the 4th generation born in 1861, so this scene is set about 1875 ).

Also starring Iris Berben, Jessica Schwarz and August Diehl. Directed by Heinrich Breloer (Die Manns (2001), rating 5, Eine geschlossene Gesellschaft (rating 6)).

I don't like this movie. Very boring and few sailor suit scenes. But interesting and long collar. And at least a teen boy. Bieling is more famous in "Die wilden Kerle".

-Comment: The boys of the St. Florianer Sängerknaben in white sailor suits. Pointed blue collars (although not be shown here).

First I don't want to make an entry of this show. But why not? This sailor suits looking like typical sailor suits but are different. First the collar flaps behind are pointed (see below, pic from Musikantenstadl 2011, rating 8 also showing some members of this choir in Lederhosen).

/2011/11/20/st-florianer-sangerknaben-musikantenstadl-2011/

The collars are a bit lighter blue than usual and the scarves looking like pre-attached fake scarves (but that's often seen nowadays also on other choirs like the Wiener Sängerknaben). The white striped dickeys are also uncommon. Often they aren't striped anymore.

The choir is standing above the orchestra except for the soloist Alois Mühlbacher (in a black suit) on the stage. Sorry, I don't like his hair and gestures at all. I prefer other choirs and soloists. I also prefer Alpine Christmas in Lederhosen but that doesn't fit here.

Rating 3-4. Though very interesting collars.

-Comment: At least 4 choirs in Lederhosen.

I announced this but missed the beginning. Some clips and interviews about alpine Christmas traditions and lots of Christmas songs performed by grown-ups and choirs at different locations (studio, outside and church). Lederhosen during Christmas is quite rare as most choirs wearing suits or sailor suits.

Several songs by the following "Tölzer Knabenchor" in typical clothing (red stockings, also see a 2011 Bergweihnacht show

/2011/12/23/info-45-merry-christmas/

Wiltener Sängerknaben in red jackets and longer black Lederhosen, white stockings, looking similar like this

Pic 2 showing boys and girls of the "Musikschule Söllandl". One boy has Lederhosen, medium legth.

Interesting show (I haven't seen anything better this year, yet). Maybe it's too late now, but there are other and similar seasons shows, or wait for next Christmas.

There was also a rebroadcasting if "Christmas in Vienna" starring the St. Florianer Sängerknaben (pointed sailor collars, white dickeys) but I don't like Alois Mühlbacher.

-Comment: At least 2 girls in sailor like dresses with lace collars. Also boys in good historical clothing and hats. 12 children. I later also found boys (quite young) and men in real sailor suits.

http://filmarchiv.at/rte/upload/heft_52/haus-in-montevideo_-das_d-1.jpg

That's the first movie I recently found that I mentioned before. Looks very interesting. But I don't know this complete movie yet.

1963 version after the play by Curt Goetz. Also starring Ruth Leuwerik ("Die Trapp-Famile", see that entry), Paul Dahlke, 9 or 10 yo Pierre Franck (looks like the boy on the left, pic 2) and many others. 12 kids, thats probably also something for my bedroom blog. I also have to check the 1951 version (starring Curt Goetz) but I don't assume sailor suits there.

I can't say much more yet. 123 minutes on DVD.

Rating 5-6 for now. But there are stage plays with boys in sailor suits.

Upate: Also real sailor suits, but movie is rather poor and few good scenes, adding tag women. Was occurence "often?" now low.

-Comment: At least some kids in the background in buckskin Lederhosen. Also of course men in longer Lederhosen.

Had been aired yesterday. Unfortunately I missed most of it, so I have to recheck it next airing. This was the only good scene I found on the few and short YouTube clips.

Typical funny movie but I think I won't like it. Also starring Bibi Johns, Brigitte Mira and Ruth Stephan. Aka "Lustige Burschen".

For Lederhosen scenes rating 3 for now only.

Update: I have seen this completely. Nothing more of interest. Very brief scene. Rating 2-3.

Movie aka "Der Bauer vom Brücknerhof" starring Willy A. Kleinau, Ingrid Andree and Gunnar Möller.

I search the web for Heimatfilms and that was the 2nd I found (that I don't already have here. The 1st one is with sailor suits, coming next).

Sorry, I can't say much more about this rare movie. Looks interesting. I hope for a soon broadcasting. Deppe did lots of other famous Heimatfilms and comedy films "13 Kleine Esel und der Sonnenhof", "Immer die Radfahrer", "Wenn die Alpenrosen blüh'n". Josua is the name of a black GI (singer Kenneth Spencer).

There's one Luis Trenker Heimatfilm coming today (3sat), but probably without interesting scenes of young actors in Lederhosen.

-Comment: Some Japanese teen girls in typical school uniforms (sailor fukus). I found this YouTube clip some time ago, but don't know the title of this series or movie.

The song "赤いカンナが咲いていた" is sung by Akira Adachi (安達明), born 1948. Sorry, I can't say much more as I don't understand Japanese. I often find music clips that don't mention the movie title. I tried web translations and searching on IMDb but that's hard work and usually I can't find much more there.

Looks quite good. The collar of the left girl is very short at the front, so probably a very long collar flap on the back. If someone knows the title of this movie, please comment.

Rating 3-4.

Famous novel by Charlotte Bronte. B&w movie with sound, 63 minutes. Set in the 1840s but scenes maybe even earlier (flashback scenes of young Jane Eyre ?). There are a lot of other Jane Eyre period movies and I have to check them as well. I don't know of any with real sailor suits/sailor dresses. Obviously the setting is too early.

Some scenes only mainly at the end of the movie. He also wears shorts. Also at least a boy and men wearing red communist scarves.

Thanks very much for this suggestion! Maybe an interesting movie aka "Sweet Adolescents". I only checked some part mainly at the beginning and end of the movie.

There are definitely better (sailor suit) movies.

-Rating: 6/10 ?
-Rating: ******
-Comment: At least some boys in I think smooth finish or nappa Lederhosen (without suspenders) at the end of part 1. Set maybe in the 1950s or 1960s in color, but quite bad image quality (looks like a private Super 8 movie). It's about rural living in Northern Germany. Like other similar documentaries there are grown-ups interviewed and some short, mainly b&w clips were shown. Also an interesting view of the history about working and leisure time in Germany during the last 100 years.

Had been aired yesterday (channel NDR). Unfortunately I missed most parts of it and recorded too late. There is also no clip online (not on Mediathek). Next episode will be aired next Wednesday, but of course I don't know it and can't say if Lederhosen scenes as well. But these kind of documentaries are often rebroadcasted.

Rating 6. Looks good.

At least not with the free wordpress blog. There are only the top posts and top clicks which are from the last 2 weeks. I upload new stats and manual pics every month according my stats report which is only visible to me. I linked the pic to my list.

-Rating: ****
-Comment: At least one good scene of young sailors in good suits including long collar flaps of typical color, and some women with very big beige collars (front and back), and maybe other interesting clothing of the 1840s. Also men wearing top hats. According to the IMDb keywords there's also at least one boy acting, but I haven't noticed any. Maybe from Jamaica? Or is this an older teen boy/young man? Or probably a supporting actor.

I only have checked this at high speed and can't say much more about it. There's also a 2006 remake (but I haven't checked that one yet). Novel by Jean Rhys, characters by famous Charlotte Bronte, prequel to Jane Eyre.

Also starring Nathaniel Parker, Rachel Ward and Michael York. Rated NC-17. Maybe a quite good, but typical period movie. There are definitely better ones for me.

-Rating: ******
-Comment: Some teen girls in sailor-fukus (school uniforms).

I recently searched again for sailor-fuku movies, this time using the Japanese word "セーラー服". First I found a different movie with a girl in a yery good yellow sailor dress, see below.

But this entry is about the pictured 1992 movie called "セーラー服物語 ヴァージンなんかじゃつまらない!!" which is an erotic teen comedy movie (age rating 15+). Starring Tomomi Miyauchi. I don't know the exact English title (maybe there isn't any) it would translated in "Sailor suit stories - Some virgins are somehow bored" (or similar). The "A Virgin? How bull!" is maybe just a tagline and I haven't found anything for that. I also don't know this movie and only have seen some pics on the front and back cover and no clips. 70 minutes. VHS distribution company Maxam.

Originally I found a 1980s film (maybe 1983) with a similar title from a controversial photographer who died in 1991. That movie is not a feature film and I think 30 minutes long and part of these kind of girls series. There is a short version (9 minutes) on YouTube showing 2 girls, one in a good yellow sailor dress, short yellow collar, 2 dark blue stripes, blue scarf and another girl with a blue collar and yellow scarf (both white blouses). As this is not a regular, "clean" feature film, I won't make a separate entry of that one (OOP anyway). Both films have no IMDb entry or I haven't found them.

Rating maybe 6 for the 1st movie and rating 8 for the 2nd one, because of the rare yellow dress.

As searching for school uniforms I also found modern cheerleader and letter jackets with very long sailor collars. Maybe I find movies with these sometimes.

Dort oben, wo die Alpen glühen



Heimatfilm starring Gerlinde Locker
-Year: 1956
-Year in film: 1950s
-Country: Germany
-Who in clothing: Thomas ~11, Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2: men, (teen) boys, Lederhosen
-Available on DVD: VHS only
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Clothing occurence: often
-Rating: 8/10r
-Rating: ********
-Comment: Blond Peter Gruber in several scenes in short buckskin Lederhosen, also some young men dancing Schuhplattler (Watschnplatter) and some teen boys (and younger boys) in longer Lederhosen in the background near the end of the movie.

Finally another very good Heimatfilm. Had been aired last night (along 2 other very good Heimatfilms I already have). I wonder why they often shown these movies that late. Unfortunately I missed some few minutes at the end.

The blond boy is often shown, with and without his Tyrolean hat, some very good scenes, including milking a goat and other sitting scenes, and his Lederhosen often seem to be much tighter and shorter but sometimes they seem not as tight (maybe even 2 different pairs?) Mostly showing his front, but also one or 2 perfect rear views.

The movie is also good, perfect landscape scenes (cabin and mountains), some drama, Schuhplattler, so everything there. Written by Theodor Ottawa ("Die Sennerin von St. Kathrein"), also starring Rudolf Carl, Lotte Ledl and Albert Rueprecht. Filmed in Austria, so some or most actors may be Austrian.

Rating 8.

European Vacation



Comedy film starring Chevy Chase
-Year: 1985
-Year in film: 1980s
-Country: USA
-Who in clothing: Rusty ~16, Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2: men, (teen) boys, Lederhosen
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Clothing occurence: low *
-Rating: 2/10 *
-Rating: **
-Comment: Jason Lively (1st pic, nominated for a Young Artist Award) in short buckskin Lederhosen with suspenders in a very short dream scene in the plane at the beginning of the film ("The Sound of Griswald", refers to Sound of Music, sorry, this is already the best pic), and one longer scene where men, including Chevy Chase (pic 2 on the right in Lederhosen with green Tyrolean cotton suspenders) are dancing including Schuhplattler and Watschnplattler on a stage. Right behind Chevy Chase on pic 2 there is a blond boy in longer buckskin Lederhosen and red stockings. At the end of the scene, where they run away there are some older teen boys, one in good longer Lederhosen (green suspenders, pic 3). Shortly after that a young boy ~7 ys in longer Lederhosen, but shown very briefly.

Quite good, funny and entertaining family movie also starring Beverly D'Angelo, Dana Hill and Willy Millowitsch, but the first 1983 movie "Vacation" starring Anthony Michael Hall as Rusty (who became a man there) is much better. Aka "National Lampoon's European Vacation", German title "Hilfe, die Amis kommen".

For the short scene of Lederhosen rating 2 only. The movie is maybe 4-5.

Bennie Stout



Family film
-Year: 2011
-Year in film: 1930s
-Country: The Netherlands
-Who in clothing:  boy ~11 ?, sailor suit
-Who in clothing 2: kid, man lace collars, uniforms
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurrence: low ?
-Rating: 6/10 ?
-Rating: ******
-Comment: At least one unknown boy at school in a real white sailor suit, dark blue collar, 2 stripes, however a non matching medium blue (long?) pants (pic 2, in the middle). I think a teen boy and a man (Zwarte Piet) with lace collars. Young men and I think teen boys in green uniforms (black long pants) in a marching band. Also lots of kids in historical clothing, but I haven't found any others in sailor suits. The main character (played by Koen Dobbelaer) wearing a blue cap and medium length pants, also kids in wooden clogs.

I like Dutch movies and this one looks like a very good family movie with Christmas and time travel plot, including funny and touching scenes. Golden Film Award. Written by Wijo Koek (Dik Trom, Flodder).

I saw different trailers and clips, but don't know the complete movie yet. I assume rather few good saiklor suit scenes and I wonder why only 1 kid in a sailor suit in the 1930s. But maybe this would had been looking too strict. I think also punishment scenes (pulling a boy at his ears, but I don't know of real spanking scenes).

Rating 6 for now.

Exclusive pic#31 Brothers 1900s Leipzig Album



This CDV showing 2 brothers with short hair from 1900s Leipzig. It's part of the first album I bought. There are 2 separate CDVs of them in different sailor suits and wearing hats (but not as interesting as this one, maybe I will upload them later), also relatives and girls. Also one pic of the right boy as older teen, but not in sailor suit. The album and some CDVs are in very bad condition, but it was quite cheap. Pic speaks for itself.

-Comment: Spanish Nino Del Arco as 5 yo German Dieter in buckskin Lederhosen with suspenders (also sitting and also with a Tyrolean hat, pictured), but I think he mostly wear other (cotton ?) pants with suspenders. Also some altar boys.

English title "The Boy and the Ball and the Hole in the Wall", German title "Der Junge und die Mauer" filmed 1964 in West Berlin. The plot is quite interesting, but the boy is very young and obviously few Lederhosen scenes. Also starring Daniel Gélin, Yolanda Varela and Inma de Santis. Story by Jim Henaghan (who also starred in The Waltons and Lassie). Directed by Ismael Rodriguez. For the sake of completion. Completely on YouTube.

Rating 2.
