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.

I found this some few months ago during research for the "NHK boy drama series" (rating 5). I still can't find any clips and only this one pic (taken from http://forest-baku.blog.ocn.ne.jp/aozora/2011/01/ ), some more infos at http://toita1214.exblog.jp/17684887/ .
Directed by Takeshi Sato, novel by Masaru Kobayashi. Japanese title "チョコレートと兵隊". I can't say much more about this film. Maybe it is related to the 1908 operetta "The Chocolate Soldier" aka Der tapfere Soldat by Oscar Straus. I first thought of a 1930s WWII related film, but I think the novel is published in the 1920s or earlier. I also can't find much about the author. Mabe it's a propaganda movie.
I also can't find any DVD nor VHS release, but research is hard as I don't know Japanese.
Rating 2 for now, but it's maybe a very good film. I have to check this again later.
