-Comment: One boy in a quite rare medium blue sailor suit, white collar, 3 stripes, blue scarf (also white napkin), long white stockings, not 100% sure but I think this might be 12 yo Peter Rühmann (son of famous Heinz Rühmann and part of the main family in this movie), 3 quite long scenes (also sitting in the circus, first row, having fun) and also in other traditional clothing (suit). Some other younger and older boys and (teen) girls, mostly inside a circus (nearly the complete 2nd half of this film is set there). Also one boy with a very good white collar and his white dickey hanging out, and one boy with a short brown sailor collar (I will make a separate story entry of this 2, soon). Some grown-ups, especially women in historical clothing and collars, but I think none in a real sailor dress, typical period clothing with umbrellas, also costumes and circus uniforms. Some other younger kids in the background, but often very short scenes and far in the distance. Some with flat straw hats. No notable close up views of girls in sailor dresses.

Finally another good historical sailor suit movie which I haven't seen before. Had just been aired.

Starring Lilli Palmer, Romy Schneider, Claus Biederstaedt, Rudolf Vogel, Lina Carstens and others. Directed by Kurt Hoffmann (Rheinsberg (1967), rating 5, Das fliegende Klassenzimmer (1954), Morgens um Sieben ist die Welt noch in Ordnung). English title "Fireworks".

I'm, not sure if I would buy this movie. Some few good scenes but sadly too many circus scenes. But I give rating 6-7. There are also 3 later movies in 1963, 1971 and 1976, which I also have to check. There are some clips on YouTube. Very good and long white collar flap, but no perfect close up view from behind. The boy with the dark blue collar (pic 4) is also shown completely, rather short suit and thin, and I think it's the same in pic 3.
