-Comment: Some boys in different sailor suits. One blond boy ~5 at the auction (ep. 6 in series, big pic on top and thumnail bottom right, note the length and different color of the pants), and one boy ~7-8 at school (ep 9, thumbnail top right) note, that his collar is open and with no scarf, and 2 or some more boys outside, one with a hat.

As announced this film/series which I saw 2 days ago. Unfortunately I missed some parts at the beginning. Thats obviously a combination of the 1971 series "Emil i Lönneberga" German: Michel aus Lönneberga in 13 parts. German title of the film: "Michel bringt die Welt in Ordnung). I also recognize ep 6, 7 and 12. I thought of this series long time ago, because of it's 1900s setting, but I found no sailor suit scenes on pics and clips. Especially Emil/Michel wearing long pants and a cap. There is also some older boys (at the auction), maybe 11 ys, also at close up (but not in sailor suits).

Interesting and of course a famous Astrid Lindgren film, setting and character, along some others, but I don't like this very young main character with rather long and messy hair. The sailor suit scenes are quite good, but could be better. I also have to check the 2 other films (and the 1985 version) or the series. However a very good family entertaintment and classic of the 70s. I think I also remember spanking scenes (not in Lederhosen or sailor suits) or at least other punishments. Also starring Allan Edwall (1924-1997, Fanny och Alexander).

Rating 5-6 for now.
