-Comment: 5 yo Petya as main character (or his 5 yo granddad) in a short medium blue sailor suit and some other boys in sailor suits. Also lots of grown-ups in historical clothing /costumes also at least one woman with a sailor dress or similar (at 33 min.) The beginning minutes are set in the 1970s and also shows him in brown bib overalls. But the rest of this movie is a flashback story from his granddad set in around the 1930s.

Some interesting scenes like circus scenes, the boy is also being undressed while holding him and changed his clothes. The boy is very young and most collars are rather short. Few scenes with sailor hats.

English title "During a Beautiful Childhood", Russian title "В одно прекрасное детство". Completely on YouTube. Directed by Yakov Segel (who also starred himself in "Deti kapitana Granta" (1938) aka Capt. Grant's Family. I have to check this b&w Jules Verne film as well.)

Rating 3-4. Maybe a good film for it's time, but actors are too young. I can't say much more as I don't understand Russian.
