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.

-Comment: Tommy Rettig (as little Ricky) in a festive grey suit with a long collar flap, also he and Gary Gray and others in bathing costumes. Also in breeches, bib overalls, other stage costumes and female night shirts. Also lots of others (grown ups) in hostorical clothing including women with sailor like dresses. But no real sailor suits.
I missed some few minutes at the beginning but rather few good scenes with the kids (mainly the bathing costumes, also sitting on a beach). Also 2 short scenes in simple bib overalls (see my other blog, rating 4).
Quite funny movie but the kids are not too often shown. However good 1900s clothing and props, see also my bedroom blog.
More infos on both my other blogs.
Rating 3-4 for "sailor suits", rating 6-7 for bathing costumes. Movie rating 4-5.

On TV: Melodien der Berge
Maybe of interest. A new episode of Melodien der Berge, this evening on German DasErste.
Probably no kid singers, but I think boys in Lederhosen shown in documentary clips. But there was a brief preview only, so I'm not sure. Definitely men in Lederhosen.
I already have an entry (different episode, rating 4, pictured)
/2012/10/07/melodien-der-berge/
Update: At least 2 boys in Lederhosen. 1 sitting (rating ~3). But no need for another entry. Probably available online on the official broadcasting page.

Info 176: Updates
Some minor updates of my list entry (sailor suit collars).
The last episodes of the series Löwengrube had been aired. Sadly no more Lederhosen scenes. I still have to check the earlier episodes. The 50s were disappointing. But still rating 9. Maybe more for sailor suits.
Sorry , nothing much more of interest.
Probably some are interested in my Long Johns underwear post on my overalls blog. Or Klasse Segel Abenteuer (teen boys, girls) including swimwear, bibs and bedroom scenes.

On TV: Seid bereit und erste Liebe
Had just been aired on MDR. Rebroadcasting tonight at 05.50 am.
At least one boy sitting in buckskin Lederhosen with suspenders. One boys in smooth finish or more likely nappa Lederhosen. B&w scenes set in 1990 (last East German summer camp) also color scenes and bedroom scenes.
Update: Only 2 notable and brief scenes as pictured. Both are moving images.
Also pioneer scarves, shorts and speedos. Girls in dresses, partly with H-style suspenders.
At least the color scenes were shot in Bad Klosterlausnitz. Also modern 2010 scenes and at least 4 wooden bunk beds.
Rating 4-5 for these Lederhosen.

Isten hozta örnagy úr
Comedy film. Director Zoltan Fabri
-Year: 1969
-Year in film: ~1960s
-Country: Hungary
-Who in clothing: girls ~8, 16, sailor dress
-Who in clothing 2: boy scouts, shorts
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: low
-Rating: 4/10
-Rating: ****
-Comment: 2 girls in blue/white sailor dresses. Blue collar. 4 thin stripes, at least the teen girl (only to see at close up scenes). Also some younger boys in shorts and also boy scouts or similar in historical uniforms and hats. The little girl (pic 2) has a shorter skirt and red ribbons in her hair. These bus stop scenes at the beginning and end.
The same director as in A Pál utcai fiúk (1969)
I checked for other versions of that other movie (there are about 7 movies, including one starring Mario Adorf, some b&w movies and even a very modern docu-like version) but I haven't found any other featuring boys in sailor suits.
This movie is called The Toth Family and I don't like it. 1964 novel by Istvan Örkeny. There is also at least one other, Belgian b&w 1971 movie "De familie Tot", but I haven't found much about that.
Rating 4.

A Pál utcai fiúk (1969)
Drama, Oscar nominated
-Year: 1969
-Year in film: 1906 ?
-Country: Hungary, USA
-Who in clothing: boys, sailor suit
-Who in clothing 2: others, hist. clothing, hats
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurrence: very often
-Rating: 9/10
-Rating: *********
-Comment: Several different aged boys, about 9-15 yo in different short and long sailor suits, often with not matching collars. Short and long collars, with and without stripes. Colors including light brown, white (at least 3 boys, 2 in the background), light grey, olive and of course dark blue (at least 2 boys). Unfortunately boys have rather long hair (1969) and most aren't very handome. Most blue collars have thin stripes, so not really the ordinary sailor collars. And everyone have different styles and colors and also hats. Best scenes are at the beginning in and in front of the school. It's hard to choose the best pics.
Perfect setting and plot about a gang, famous novel by Ferenc Molnár, directed by Zoltán Fábri. There are also lots of other movies, which I all have to check as well. English title: The Boys of Paul Street.
Pic 1: My favourite collar. Very wide on the shoulders, thicker stripes, a collar underneath and completely mismatching the color of his shirt. One boy with a short white collar, front row and some others on the left side.
Pic 2+3: A bit later, outside the school. Lots of boys walking around, showing the length and color of their pants. Partly long collars. But few and brief good scenes, some in the background or from bird's view.
Pic 3: The blue collar is flying in the wind.
Pic 4: A handsome boy with modern blond haircut. Dark blue collar but thin stripes. Also a boy in a light blue shirt and collar on the right.
Pic 5 (at about 54 minutes) first showing a laughing boy in a light brown sailor suit. Very long neckline on the front and matching dickey but very short collar flap on his back. One older boy in a short dark blue sailor suit and blue cap and wearing ugly glasses on the right. He is more often shown than others in sailor suits. A boy in light grey rather long collar but without stripes in that scene.
Although I don't like most of the boys and sailor suits, I give rating 8-9, compared to my other entries.
