I don't know/don't remember this complete film, but it looks very good. 1899 novel by famous Edith Nesbit (1858-1924, "The Railway Children", see also the 1970 movie here, rating 6 with a teen boy and girl in sailor suits). There are 3 releated earlier TV series (1953, 1961, 1982), which I also have to check. Family approved film (Dove Foundation), directed by Juliet May, starring Camilla Power, Felicity Jones, Nicholas Farrell and James Wilby. Some book and audio book editions also showing interesting clothes and the sailor suit. The 1899 book edition also has some illustrations , but no real sailor suits. At one illustration a boy is caught by the collar (but not sailor collar)

The French title is called "Le jardin des secrets" which reminds of "The Secret Garden" Another very good British story and films. No sailor suit scenes in the clip.

I have to check this film again. Rating 7-8 for now. I like those rare sailor suits and good adventures. But maybe could be better. I also like regular blue sailor collars.
