This is my 2nd blog about feature films, TV series and documentaries with boys, girls, men and women in sailor suits, Lederhosen and other historical clothing of the 19th century and beyond. I collect informations, trailer videos, low-res images and personal comments/ratings. This blog was introduced in 2011. 2012-2020 on Wordpress. Now I'm back. Update will take a while.

-Comment: At least 4 boys in sailor suits, 3 in blue (probably the three younger Geste brothers) therof 1 in a short and another one in a short white sailor suit. Also a girl in a white sailor dress. Wearing paper hats. Also good other historical clothing like knickers/breeches (pic below) and white collars with a string tie. Also clothes of the Foreign Legion (men only?)
First I only noticed a clip on YouTube with the other clothes. Then I also saw the sailor suits which are very good. The boy in white has an unusual collar, not pointed at front but rather squared, and round glasses. The girl has a white dickey with an anchor printed on it and a low-cut neckline.
I don't know the complete movie yet but will check or even buy it. Though I assume rather few sailor suit scenes in flashback scenes with the young Beau Geste (Donald O'Conner (1925-2003), "Singin' In the Rain") 1924 novel by P.C. Wren. Also starring Ray Milland and Robert Preston as brothers.
I also have to check the other Beau Geste films, I've already seen a sailor suit in the 1926 version. And there are also later films/series.
Rating 7-8 for now.
