-Comment: A young boy barefeet in buckskin Lederhosen with H-style suspenders (pictured). Only this very short scene. One even younger boy in pants with suspenders and some other boys, mostly in long black, maybe cotton pants. Some sailors at the beginning and end, also a brief scene with a boy in sailor suit. Nothing more is shown. Some young men have long collar flaps. One collar (medium length) is shown at close up, but the man is much older (gray hair). Also some altar boys (red/white clothing).

This is a remake from 1919 and 1938 ("Storms in May"). Novel by famous Ludwig Ganghofer. I saw this yesterday on TV. The movie itself is quite good and is set around 1900. Good and typical alpine setting, but extremely few Lederhosen and few (good) sailor suit scenes. Though kids are often shown. Could be worse. Available on DVD. No clips on YouTube. English title "Thunderstorm in May".

I can't rate higher than 2. Movie would be 4-5.
