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.

-Who in clothing 2: others, hist. clothing
-Available on DVD: no *
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: often *
-Rating: 2/10 ?
-Rating: **
-Comment: Aled Roberts ("Back to the Secret Garden (2001)") in a suit with a top hat and also other quite good historical clothing (tie). Also 14 yo Florence Hoath as Flora in historical clothing and both with straw hats and of course others especially women. I don't know of any sailor suit scenes in this version.
Maybe a good movie about this famous ghost story by Henry James, but there are better and more famous ones (including sailor suits, try a blog search, some movies have other titles).
Starring Valerie Bertinelli, Michael Gough (1916-2011) and Paul Rhys. I think not officially released on DVD. US production but filmed in the UK with British and American actors. Flora is British and probably also Miles.
I can't rate higher than 2-3 as no sailor suits. The movie is better. That's the last Turn of the Screw entry for now. One more movie might be of intereset:"Benjamin Britten: The Turn of the Screw (1982 movie of the opera, not 2004) with a boy in a night shirt sitting on a chair at the end of the movie.
