DEFA family film
-Year: 1978
-Year in film: 1970s
-Country: East Germany
-Who in clothing: boy ~7, Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2: shorts, speedos, girl skirtalls
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: low ?
-Rating:  3/10
-Rating: ***
-Comment: At least this young boy in buckskin medium brown Lederhosen (without suspenders, maybe with 2 zippers at the side). Several other young boys in shorts and speedos and a girl in dark blue skirtalls or a jeans dress (on my overalls blog, rating 3 as well).

I think I have seen this movie some years ago but can't remember all scenes.

Obviously a typical East German family movie with mainly very young actors. 64 minutes only.

I have to recheck it the next broadcasting but think very few (good) Lederhosen scenes.

So rating 2-3 for now only. Nothing special (at least not concerning Lederhosen).

Story 94: US 4-H girl in sailor dress , boy sailor suit



During research for my one-room schoolhouse pics for my bib overalls blog I found this pic. First I thought that this is a boy. Sorry.

It's quite rare wearing a sailor dress at the 4-H (a kids farm organisation). And there are very few sailor suit pics on loc.gov.

The only one I don't already had is the following from 1905 Washington. Not sure if this is an American boy. Also note the hats on both pics.

Söndagsbarn

sondagsbarnsondagsbarn2

Drama by Ingmar Bergman
-Year: 1992
-Year in film: 1920s
-Country: Sweden, others
-Who in clothing: boys ~7-10 sailor suits
-Who in clothing 2: Pu 9, shorts
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: very low
-Rating:  4/10 ?
-Rating: ****
-Comment: 3 boys in different sailor suits. Also a boy wearing shorts with a belt and suspenders.

During research for my western blog I found a "most wanted on DVD list" on IMDb. This is on TOP 1 with foreign language. In the meatime this and some others have been released on DVD and or BD. It's also completely on YouTube but I only have checked it briefly at high speed.

I only noticed some few scenes with the boys in sailor suits at the beginning only. The young boy on the very left wearing a short blue collar, then next to him an older boy wearing a white collar and in the middle a boy wearing a dark blue sailor suit. They went into the house climbing upstairs and their back is partly shown. The blue collars are short. I haven't noticed the white one which seems much more of interest (I have to recheck it). Then they are sitting at a table and some close-up views but only party and sometimes blurry.

Also interesting is the boy (Henrik Linnros as Pu Bergman) wearing belt and suspenders at the same time what is very rare.

Some other scenes of interest like an undressing, shirtless and a toilet scene (not involving sailor suits).

Quite interesting but typical Swedish movie. Directed by Daniel Bergman. Partly an autobiography of the Bergman's family.

I bought Fanny och Alexander but wouldn't buy this one.  English title "Sunday's Children". Reminds me of Alla vi barn i Bullerbyn.

Few sailor suit scenes. Rating 4 only.

Der Meineidbauer (2012)

meineidbauer2012

Modern Heimatfilm starring Günther Maria Halmer
-Year: 2012
-Year in film: 2010s
-Country: Germany, Austria
-Who in clothing: boys ~9 Lederhosen ?
-Who in clothing 2: men Lederhosen
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Clothing occurence: very low
-Rating:  2/10
-Rating: **
-Comment: One young uncredited boy in traditional clothing (together with a girl). The short pants appear to be of soft buckskin leather. Also rear view while walking but one brief scene near the beginning only. Lederhosen have no decorations and no suspenders (at least not shown, maybe below the shirt but I don't think so). Also some few older men in real Lederhosen and bib overalls.

Had been aired yesterday. I previously just had an entry of the 1956 version (rating 2 as well).

/2011/09/04/der-meineidbauer-1956/

The plot is quite good and exciting with a mean Halmer, also starring Suzanne von Borsody and Heikko Deutschmann. Also starring an older teen girl and teen boy, but not in traditional clothes.

Typical modern Heimatfilm with alpine landscape setting and much drama. Novel by Ludwig Anzengruber (1839-1889) but now in a modern setting like the 50s movie.

Very brief scene and young boy, so rating 2 only. At least another Heimatfilm and Lederhosen entry. The movie itself is a bit better, but also nothing special (rating 3-4). There are lots of modern Heimatfilms.
