1957 version On TV 19.7. (Heimatkanal) which can't be received for free.

I don't know/don't remember this complete movie. The first 50 minutes of the 1975 version is available at archive.org (but no or no notable Lederhosen scenes of boys, best is pictured, I think shorts only, also note that the boy is bare feet. Rating would be ~3.) Wrongly discribed as the 1957 version and obviosuly much worse. There are also a 1939 and 2011 movie. English title "King of the Edelweiss".

One better pic of the 1957 version is at

Starring Rudolf Lenz, Christiane Hörbiger, Attila Hörbiger and Olga von Togni.

Looks like a very good Heimatfilm, I assume typical good landscape scenes, good clothing including Tyrolean hats and maybe barefeet boys as well. Unlike the 1975 version which is available on VHS, this movie is obviously not available and rare. I hope for a soon broadcasting on free TV and have to update (all versions).

Rating 8 for now.
