-Comment: Paul Schoeman (pictured) as 10 yo Conrad/Conradin in I think a short white sailor suit, white collar, 3 stripes. Looks like a long collar flap. Also in a nightshirt, other historical clothes with a regular white collar and I think also a uniform and maybe other interesting clothes. And also without clothes.

Short film, 28 minutes, available on VHS "Two From Saki". Based on the short story "Sredni Vashtar" by Saki (Hector Hugh Munro). There are also several other films of that story "Sredni Vashtar (1981) by Andrew Birkin, Oscar nominated and available on The Cement Garden DVD, The Orphan (1979), aka Friday the 13th: The Orphan, Sredni Vastar (1995), Sredni Vashtar (2003), Conrad the Wise (2009) and maybe some more. I have to check all of those films completely, but haven't noticed any other with sailor suit scenes by now.

It seems to be a very interesting plot about a fatally ill boy and his strict aunt and cousin. Not sure if real spanking scenes also. I tried to watch this film, but the only version that is currently still online is password protected. No streaming clips. However I assume rather few good sailor suit scenes here, but I like white sailor suits. I have to check this again later.

Rating 6-7 for now.

Update: I now have seen it completely. As pictured he wears dark blue (shorter) pants, no scarf and no dickey. The collar is of typical medium length and has 2 stars on the edges.

Originally rated 7, now 5(-6) for the sailor suit. Rear view is quite good but I don't like the front.
