Das fliegende Klassenzimmer (1954)

Family film, novel by Erich Kästner
–Year: 1954
–Year in film: 1950s ?
–Country: Germany
–Who in clothing: boy ~13, Lederhosen
–Who in clothing 2: shorts, pajamas
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Clothing occurrence: very low
–Rating:  4/10
–Rating: ****
–Comment: One older boy (on the right) in buckskin Lederhosen without suspenders and maybe some more boys running downstairs but from a distance and in jackets (looks like with H-style suspenders). Scene at the beginning. Other boys in shorts and pajamas. Unfortunately almost the complete movie is set during the winter.

Also a boy wearing a wig with pigtails (soon on my other blog, rating 8). And nice dorm scenes (soon on my bedroom blog, rating ~7).

Very interesting movie but few Lederhosen scenes. The much more famous 1973 remake still needs to be checked completely. I don't like the 70s and don't remember Lederhosen there. Summer setting and speedos. The setting in the 1933 novel is much earlier. As the plot is timeless, they obviously choose the presence for each movie.

The 2003 movie featuring a boy's choir (Thomanerchor) in sailor suits but is quite poor (rating 2).

Rating 3-4 for the brief Lederhosen scenes. Movie much higher. I almost bought it.

–Comment: South Bavarian (Engelsberg), thin, longhaired 9 yo Lukas in long, dark brown, buckskin Lederhosen with H-style suspenders and Heavy Metal shirt underneath in today's episode 5 (Dec 28, 2016). He's in the kids team along another older boy, also looking like a girl.

He didn't appear in all games but is often shown. Also sitting, sitting in a kart (legs angled), jumping, kneeing on the floor, lying on his stomach and the like. Many scenes from a distance and rather few rear views.

I think, I have seen this boy before in a different show or documentary, some months ago, but not sure if in Lederhosen as well. Who remembers in what show? Complete family likes Heavy Metal.

Very thin and quite young, even younger looking. Also a brief scene of a man in Lederhosen and another vintage young boy on a photo.

Rating 5-6. Available on the zdf mediathek.

 

Unknown 22: Thüringer Sängerknaben ?

Unknown choir, show/concert
–Year: 1999 ? 2002 ?

–Country: Germany ?

–Available on DVD: no ?
–I own: no
–Clothing occurrence: often ?
–Rating:  9/10 ?
–Rating: *********
–Comment: Unknown choir boys of an unknown show. I assume that these are the Thüringer Sängerknaben due their clothes and the initials TS on the books.

Maybe recorded in 1999 (or 2002 ?), channel ARD / Das Erste, but could be recorded in around 1990 as well. Maybe a Christmas concert, not sure if also contained other choirs as well. Unfortunatly I only found a very brief clip. Needs to be rechecked for known faces to find out the exact year and maybe show. Can anybody help?

The blue collars have a very high neckline on the front and this often means very long collar flaps on the back. I like that. No dickeys are shown and no scarves. No coat of arms on the shirts, like the Vienna Boys Choir would have. Handsome boys, so rating 8-9.

Some minor updates of my unknown #9 Italian. My VCR is also now running.

Next post in January.





Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all my readers!

Unknown #9 Quand j'étais p'tit ?

I have searched all my backups and writings on my VHS cassettes, but couldn't find much. Some few, mainly French movies. Maybe the only one, what might be the unknown movie pictured, is "Quand j'étais p'tit" (1997).

There are 2 brothers, 11 and 7 yo, but also at least one other boy (Xavier Rothmann). The oldest brother and darkhaired is Cyprien Douais. But both other boys are rather dark blonde. Setting is in 1958 or 1959.

French and 1997 is possible, but I doubt that that is this movie. Maybe someone who knows this movie can say, if it contains the scene pictured. There are some pics on the web, but not with sleeveless shirts.

I'm now sure, that this print is from a photo taken from a TV screen (I found a similar real photo with the black round edges, another unknown movie and year), what could mean, that the movie is older than thought and before I own a VCR, so ~1989 or earlier but probably not much. But I also made some pics of VHS recordings, mainly in 1992 before there are cheap color printers. Maybe I focus on searching for Italian boy actors of the 1980s.

/2015/07/14/unknown-9-italian-coming-of-age-drama-1980s-90s/

Update: I found the digital scan file of the photo, clearly taken from a TV on an old HD as thumb within an image managing software. Unfortunately the file name just shows "Italian TV". So I wasn't sure about the title then and maybe I just assumed that this was Italian. The file date is in August 1999, probably I bought a color scanner then. So the movie was definitely before. I think, I took the photo in or around 1991, could be earlier but probably not before 1988. I try to find the full size pic or the photo or negative. I think I made 2 or more photos. Unless if there's a date printed on the back, it probably won't give any more details except for a better quality.

Wenn die tollen Tanten kommen

–Who in clothing 2: men
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: yes, partly TV recording
–Clothing occurrence: very low
–Rating:  6/10
–Rating: ******
–Comment: 2 boys, around 8 or 9 yo in I think buckskin Lederhosen with H-sytle suspenders (one shirtless), scene pictured at 26 minutes (within Schlefaz much later due to the commentings, around 50 minutes before the end). Also earlier a toddler at the lake in short Lederhosen, being lifted up and also men including Rudi Carrell. Scenes probably filmed in Austria, so most likely local boys.

Typical comedy/musical film of the 70s. Quite funny and nice landscape scenes. But I don't like men wearing wigs and dresses.

There are also 2 sequels and similar movies which still has to be checked.

Not bad, but for the brief scene rating 5-6 only.

–Comment: At least this darkhaired boy in a short sailor suit including white shorts, collar and hat. Red stripes and scarf. Pic from episode 1. I don't remember his name. Also undressing scenes, he or another boy shirtless. Not sure about spanking here.

I also have him in update 2 of YCDTOTV also showing the pants. Other boys and girls appearing in the main series "You Can't Do That on Television" including blonde boys and mainly blue collars (rating 8).

Also on my shiny shorts blog (rating 10), bedroom blog rating 8 and bib overalls blog rating 6.

I don't remember all episodes. But the main series is much better. So rating 6-7 only.

Pauline à la plage

–Rating:  4/10
–Rating: ****
–Comment: Amanda Langlet in a white sailor blouse and a dark blue collar with 2 stars on the rear flap, no dickey. Long collar flap. Medium blue jeans bermuda shorts. One very brief scene at the very end only. Also an older teen boy (Simon de La Brosse) shirtless in tight, blue shiny Adidas shorts (Shiny shorts blog rating 6, no pic).

First I thought that this is a boy as I found it on Simon de La Brosse fansite. Finny. But it's the teen girl in typical early 80s short hair.

Typical 80s movie and romance. But quite good for these days. Great Adidas shorts but boy is very old. English title Pauline at the Beach.

Rating 4 for this brief sailor collar scene.

–Comment: Finally - Lederhosen! Oscar Brose in short and tight buckskin Lederhosen with H-style suspenders, also sitting and also cycling. Also some few other boys in Lederhosen, mainly or only without suspenders. At least one in tight, smooth finish Lederhosen. However most boys at school don't wear Lederhosen but cotton shorts. There's also at least one brief spanking scene by a woman (mom ?) while standing but he runs away. Pic from the trailer which is at 14 minutes in the movie.

I found this by coincidence on Google, searching for something completely different. I don't know the complete movie yet and hope for a soon broadcasting. Set in Dortmund. Novel by Ralf Rothmann.

Rating 9-10 for now. Just released on DVD and BD. I think, I can wait some weeks or few months for a broadcasting (or upload).

Update: Almost completely checked. Unfortunately few others and no smooth finished Lederhosen. But almost rating 10. Some scenes are in b&w but are very good, either.

–Rating:  7/10
–Rating: *******
–Comment: Some boys and girls in white and dark sailor suits / sailor dresses. Very long dark blue collars. 3 white stripes. No dickeys and no scarves. Some girls in white collars, rectangled at front.

Obviously few and brief scenes. Mainly of interest, the 4 boys pictured. Both pics from episode 4. One boy in ep. 6.

I only have checked this series at high speed. Finally some very good and long collars.

For the few scenes, rating 6-7 only. Original title: Мъже без мустаци. English title: Men Without Moustache.

Also other historical clothes and scenes at school. But I haven't noticed sailor suits in there.

Probably, there are many more East European movies. I also have updated some few infos about my unknown movie (still not found).

Unknown #9 - pic found

I couldn't find something for my shiny shorts blog neither on my hard disks nor on backup discs, so I searched my prints for that, and by coincidence found a tiny pic of my unknown Italian movie. No more pics (yet) and nothing more shown.

It's the boy on the right dropping down his pants.

It proves, that I have (or had) at least some parts of the movie. One problem is, that my VHS recorder is defective. Another is, that I often deleted major parts of movies and sometimes haven't written the title.

As I have a print, I must have a digital pic and maybe a clip as well. But I haven't found it, although I often search them. I have some cheap DVDr and CDr that can't be read anymore. And it's also possible that I have deleted it (the clip on HD or VHS) unintentionally.

So, I try to recheck all my backups and notes on my VHS cassettes for any hints but that will take a while. Maybe I have to buy a VHS player. Or maybe someone recognizes the pic.

/2015/08/07/update-of-unknown-9/

Update: I searched 3 of my older hard discs. I found almost everything except this one. I think this screenshot was made in 1998 and maybe printed in or after sept 1998. Definitely not older than 2003. But that doesn't mean much. The movie is most likely older, I still think (aired) around 1992, maybe made a bit earlier. Haircuts don't look like the 70s or early 80s. Although short hair and sleeveless white shirts are rather timeless. The setting however could be earlier but I don't think so. The stairs are outside and there's a very high stone wall just behind them. I don't think that's part of a house, rather a cliff.

I also wonder, why I don't have more and better pics. It's possible, that this is just a scan from a magazine (probably not from the web). That could mean, I don't have clips or other pics. There's a red dot on the hair and a black curves below, what could mean, that this is a photo taken from a TV screen. Nevertheless, I must have a digital source of this and continue searching my archives.
