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.

Generally I like comedy series but somehow I don't like that one.
That sailor outfit looks a bit silly. I haven't seen the rear view but she has long hair anyway. And she was angry. Not sure if other clothing of interest. According to some pics,
different sailor-like clothing in ep. 3 and bib overalls (Super Mario) in ep. 1. Older teen boys and girls.

-Rating: 3/10 ?

-Comment: At least some young men in Lederhosen also dancing including Schuhplattler. Looks like at least one man in black smooth finish Lederhosen. I think I've also seen some young boys in Lederhosen in the background. Some musicians in historical uniforms (firemen ?).
Had just been aired. Unfortunately I have only seen the last 30 minutes. And hope for a soon rebroadcasting.
Good and funny and typical movie of it's time including comedy and music. Starring Hans Holt and Rudolf Carl. Directed by Fritz Böttger. Czech operetta by V. Tolarsky. There is also a 1971 remake (which I also have to check and also seems to be rare). Not sure about the setting. Either ~1936 (operetta and cars) or 1950s (maybe wrong props).
Can't rate any higher than 2-3 for now.

-Comment: Linda Bruhl in a short sailor dress, short medium blue skirt and collar. Red scarf. (But also wearing somethig else). At least one other girl is shown, probably more kids in the background. And of course grown-ups in historical clothing including hats. Also starring ~7 yo Barry Livingston in a medium blue sailor suit, short, dark blue collar and cap (but obviously only a short scene at church).
Sorry, I don't know/don't remember this complete movie and have to recheck it the next broadcasting.
Looks like a typical comedy movie of it's time. Which I usually like.
Starring Jackie Gleason, Glynis Johns and Charles Ruggles. Novel by Corinne Griffith.
Rating 3-4 for now.

Update: I've briefly checked this. Short and brief scene of the girl at the end. (I missed the boy this time but probably few and brief scenes as well). Rather rating 2-3.

Also other boys and girls in white long sailor suits and traditional blue collars. Also of course lots of other people, mainly grown ups in Edwardian clothes. Series Aka Manor House.
Thanks very much for this suggestion! And sorry for the delay. I'm still very busy. I found this series earlier, but haven't noticed sailor suit scenes then. In fact I still only noticed very few scenes (but the first episode had been deleted on YouTube). Pics are from ep. 5. Suit is completely shown in ep. 2.
There are similar reality TV documentary series in Germany like
/2011/08/18/abenteuer-1900-leben-im-gutshaus/
I think few good scenes of the boy. Rating 4-5 for now. I don't like these kind of striped collars.

Exclusive pic#42 sailor suit boy 1905
This cabinet card from 1905 showing a young boy from Villingen, Germany in a dark (blue) sailor suit with a long collar flap. 3 thick stripes and some thinner stripes (see high-res). Traditional short hair. Nice garden scene with mom and sisters. Quite rare as this is not a studio photograph.
Sorry I don't have the time right now to remove the scratches. Maybe I will colorize it later.

Now on TV: Mord in bester Gesellschaft
Probably few scenes in the background only.
Modern Heimatfilm, also younger men in Lederhosen. And also older man in bib overalls.
Can't say much more yet. On DasErste. Starring Fritz Wepper. Traditional Bavarian campfire party scenes at night.
I don't remember if I saw it completetly. At least I haven't noticed any more scenes.
