-Comment: A lot of boys in Lederhosen like but longer pants (probably cotton) with H-style maybe leather suspenders in at least 2 longer scenes mainly at the end. And lot of actors in historical clothes and breeches and good historical props.

I watched most of this movie some few weeks ago. Quite interesting and famous movie, nominated for Oscar. Novel by Ian Fleming. Starring Dick Van Dyke, Gert Fröbe, Benny Hill, Sally Ann Howes and lots of others. 144 minutes. Partly filmed in Germany.

Somehow I don't like this movie. There are a lot of other famous (Disney) musical and family films of the 60s which are better, I think. I missed the beginning, but don't expect sailor suit or real Lederhosen not overalls scenes there. Quite entertaining, but for "Lederhosen" scenes only rating 3.
