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.

Ein Geheimnis im Dorf - Schwester und Bruder
Modern Heimatfilm starring Max von Thun
–Year: 2016
–Year in film: 1980s ?, 2010s
–Country: Austria
–Who in clothing: boys ~6+9, Lederhosen
–Who in clothing 2: boy ~11 jeans
–Available on DVD: no ?
–I own: no, partly TV recording
–Clothing occurence: very low ?
–Rating: 3/10 ?
–Rating: ***
–Comment: Has been aired yesterday. Unfortunately I have missed most parts and the complete last 30 minutes. I noticed only one very brief flashback scene (set maybe in the late 70s or 80s) at 12 minutes scene with a young boy in longer buckskin Lederhosen with H-style suspenders (mainly from a distance). Also a 2nd older boy but very briefly (headshot). The younger boy is also being spanked lying on the grass (close-up vies/headshots).
Available on the mediathek but I don't have the time to check the complete movie at slow speed. I will check some scenes from the end, if I have missed anything, please comment.
One older boy (Enzo Gaier), around 11 yo but probably not in Lederhosen but jeans.
Rating 3 for now only. Typical modern Heimatfilm with crime elements.
Also being aired yesterday: Der Mann, der nach Oma kam.
That movie itself was good and funny, but the boy in Lederhosen too young. Rating 3.

Soviet film

–Who in clothing 2: shorts, speedos, soviet scarves
–Available on DVD: yes

–Clothing occurence: often
–Rating: 7/10
–Rating: *******
–Comment: At least this older boy (probably more boys) in shorts and a white shirt with blue collar (3 stripes) blue basque cap and a red Soviet scarf. Short sleeves with blue stripes as well.
I found a brief clip but don't know what movie this is from. Most likely a Soviet movie (or maybe from Hungary, CZ or similar). Probably from the (early) 70s. Maybe I even already have an entry. Can someone help here? I'm currently very busy.
Quite interesting. And I like collars flying up. Needs to be rechecked. Maybe this is a TV series? And maybe there are even better scenes and actors?
Rating 5-6 for now.
Thanks Titou! As assumed, I already had an entry rating 7. 70s and Soviet was right.

Update: Platz an der Halde
Not sure, but I think this is from this movie, currently rating 7(-8) only.
Some boys in different Lederhosen. An older, blonde boy or teen boy in short buckskin Lederhosen with H-style suspenders, a younger boy in smooth finish or nappa Lederhosen (probably with suspenders as well). Also some other, young boys in Lederhosen and shorts.
Very interesting, but there are even better movies in Lederhosen. Color would also be better.

The Chippendiddys
Dancing documentary
–Year: 1995
–Year in film: 1990s
–Country: UK
–Who in clothing: Sid ~10, sailor suit
–Who in clothing 2: boys, other clothes
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Clothing occurrence: low ?
–Rating: 6/10 ?
–Rating: ******
–Comment: At least Sid Smith in a (long) black sailor suit, a very long blue collar and a white cap. The collar seems to be attached onto the jacket.
I found a very brief clip on one of my recordings. I don't know/don't remember the complete movie. Maybe the complete group wearing sailor suits as well? But if so, then probably very few scenes.
I haven't found pics or streaming clips showing that and have to recheck it later, when I have more time. One redhaired boy is very handsome but they are also very thin.
Rating 6 for now for the sailor suit, more for the rest.

Rennsteiglied
Music clip
–Year: 1983
–Year in film: 1983
–Country: East Germany
–Who in clothing: boys ~7-10 Lederhosen
–Who in clothing 2:
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Clothing occurrence: low ?
–Rating: 7/10 ?
–Rating: *******
–Comment: At least 6 boys in different short and tight Lederhosen. Maybe the boy in the right in smooth finish Lederhosen (probably not)? And some more (younger) boys in the choir itself I think in smooth finished Lederhosen.
Finally some good Lederhosen! And finally a choir entry (1st of the DDR?) Has been aired yesterday in the show "Damals war's" and I almost forgot this. Brief scene after ~1h15. It shows Herbert Roth and the Rundfunk-Kinderchor Leipzig (now MDR Kinderchor) correct title "Herbert Roth & Rundfunkkinderchor Leipzig: Das Rennsteiglied", mixed choir.
Unknown year, maybe according to his haircut in the 60s or 70s.
The year you have to guess in this episode was the death year of Roth. I haven't heard of him before and my final guess of the year was 1981 (but was wrong).
Maybe is this even taken from a movie or TV special (1976 or 1979 would make sense) about him? In the 1983 TV show "Von der Wartburg bis zur Saale" was that song "Rennsteig-Lied" shown, also with that choir,
but unknown if it was showing this scene.This is or was available on DVD from harmonika
but I guess the clip was at least recorded earlier.The Rennsteig vinyl LPs were released in the mid 70s, the song is from 1951.
I only found a clip in bad image quality so I've taken that from the mediathek. Few infos, few good pics and no clips about the early choir.
I think, I can give rating 7-8 for now.
Update: In the 2017 documentary it says that this clip appears in the 1983 show. Had same pic

Bastien Bastienne (1979)

–Year in film: 1916
–Country: France
–Who in clothing: Bastien, Bastienne 10+12, sailor suits
–Who in clothing 2: Boy 13. Boys, other costumes
–Available on DVD: no ?
–I own: no
–Clothing occurrence: often-
–Rating: 5/10 ?
–Rating: *****
–Comment: 2 boys, probably Bastien and Bastienne (13 yo darkhaired Serge Dambrine as 12 yo Bastien and 10 yo blonde Emmanuel Prat, pictured ?) in white collars with 3 white stripes (unpictured, shown on the cover or movie poster) at least one in a long dark blue collar with 3 white stripes and at least one boy with a long plain white collar. There's an older cousin but I don't know if he wears a sailor suit as well.
I only have checked it briefly but obviously there are only few good sailor suit scenes.
So rating 5-6 for now only.
Update: More scenes than assumed. Also interesting light blue stripes sailor suits

Les cadets de l'océan
Drama comedy film
–Year: 1945
–Year in film: 1942 ?
–Country: France
–Who in clothing: men ~15-20, sailor suits
–Who in clothing 2: men shorts
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Clothing occurence: often ?
–Rating: 3/10
–Rating: ***
–Comment: Many (around 100) young sailor men and older teen boys in black and also in white, long sailor suits. Long blue collars but white at the front what is quite rare. Clean black or white striped dickeys / striped shirts. Dark sailor caps. Setting is a naval training ship for "teens".
Also starring 15 yo Jean Claudio who appeared as Alexei Tsarevich in "La tragédie impériale" (1938), aka Rasputin (1938). I still haven't found pics of him proving that he wore a sailor suit as Alexei.
Also scenes of the young men in striped shirts and shorts.
I haven't seen the complete movie. And I prefer younger boys in sailor suits. Most men seem to be older, around 20 and I haven't found the younger teens. The movies about Russian naval schools showing younger boys. Blog search term "naval schools"
So rating 2-3 for now only.
Directed by Jean Dréville. Filmed in 1942 but released in 1945.
Jean Claudio also starred as teen in Untel père et fils (filmed in 1940) rating 3.

Tito i ja
Drama
–Year: 1992
–Year in film: 1950s
–Country: YU
–Who in clothing: Zoran 10, Lederhosen
–Who in clothing 2: shorts, red scarves
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Clothing occurence: medium
–Rating: 3/10
–Rating: ***
–Comment: At least Dimitrije Vojnov in Lederhosen with H-style suspenders and Tyrolean hat. Not sure if the pants are really of (buckskin) leather. They are quite long and big. Also kids in red soviet scarves. Silver Seashell Award. Scene at around 55 minutes.
Finally another Lederhosen movie. And even with a chubby boy and even with a Tyroleoan hat, although not a German/Austrian movie.
Chubby boys in Lederhosen are quite rare. I mainly think of Harry Kratz ("Die Sennerin von St. Kathrein" rating 8, "Der Wilderer vom Silberwald"). I like chubby boys, but somehow I don't like this movie. It's not a Heimatfilm.
Several scenes with him. But often with a jacket and also in other longer shorts.
Rating 3-4 only. English title: Tito and Me. 118 minutes.
Early seasons of "Der Bergdoktor" are currently being aired.

Paolo il caldo
Drama / Comedy starring Giancarlo Giannini
–Year: 1973
–Year in film: 1940s ?
–Country: Italy
–Who in clothing: boys ~5+10 sailor suits
–Who in clothing 2: girl sailor dress
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Clothing occurrence: low +
–Rating: 7/10
–Rating: *******
–Comment: Most notable a boy in a short, looks like black (or very dark blue) sailor suit with a black collar, dickey, cap, long stockings and shoes. Note the 2 white drawstrings. At the beginning peeing scene there's a very young boy with a white collar (pic 3, middle below) and a girl with a medium blue collar at a window.
A bit later the good scene of pic 1. Also sitting and he's also kicking the other boy in the butt. They are also both slapped by a man and being pulled by their ears.
Later there's a very brief scene of a boy in a light green sailor suit. Knee length dark pants. Both boys also shown in night shirts.
2 hours, English title: The Sensual Man, rated R. Interesting coming of age movie but there are better ones. Unfortunately rather few scenes at the beginning only.
So rating 7 only.

I Aliki sto Naftiko
Musical film
–Year: 1961
–Year in film: 1960s ?
–Country: Greece
–Who in clothing: Aliki ~27, sailor suit
–Who in clothing 2: men sailor suits
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Clothing occurence: often
–Rating: 3/10
–Rating: ***
–Comment: Aliki Vougiouklaki and several young sailor men in long white sailor suits and typical long, dark blue collars, 3 white stripes. White sailor caps.
I found this by coincidence and only have checked it at high speed. The woman is quite tomboyish. And the men aren't anything special. Obviously a typical comedy and musical film. There are many similar US movies, also with women.
Rating 2-3. I prefer younger actors but currently running out of them. (Please make suggestions). Greek title: Η Αλίκη στο ναυτικό. English title: Alice in the Navy.
Nice bunk beds but no need for making an entry on my bedroom blog.
