-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.
