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.

Telekolleg Politik und Gesellschaft
Educational series, 13 ep
–Year: 2005
–Year in film: ~1900s/2005
–Country: Germany
–Who in clothing: boy ~8? Lederhosen
–Who in clothing 2:
–Available on DVD: no ?
–I own: no
–Clothing occurrence: very low
–Rating: 3/10
–Rating: ***
–Comment: At least one young boy sitting in short Lederhosen, side view. Ep 6 Glücks-Sache Lernen: Bildung und Chancen. Should show a small school/home school, 3 pupils, set in ~1900s but was filmed in ~2005. Very brief scene at the beginning. Has been aired this morning. Later shown modern scenes at schools in color.
Due to the brief scene rating ~2-3 only. I don't know the other episodes. But I don't assume more scenes (not even about schools).

Der Räuber Hotzenplotz (2022)

–Rating: 5/10 ?

–Comment: At least Benedikt Jenke in knee length, light brown buckskin Lederhosen with H-style suspenders and pointed hat. By coincidence, I've seen a trailer, new in theaters.
Needs to be rechecked when on TV (in 2023).
Obviously many scenes, including sitting.
Rating ~4-5 for now.
The previous movie from 2006 is obviously very similar. Just new actors. This Seppel is probably better (but Martin Stührk, Kasperl 2006 was also good but not in Lederhosen). Book author Otfried Preußler died in 2013.

I saw by coincidence a trailer. Season 3 starting this evening on German's channel One.
Also other in vintage clothes. Girls at least in dresses with lace collars. Other boys in other episodes including Percy Hynes White, Christian Distefano and Alexander Elliot (probably not in sailor suits).
For now rating ~4-5. I assume few good scenes.

Another, better episode, recently been rebroadcasted. Pantherpfote spielt Geheimnisgeige. An Asian boy in light brown Lederhosen with (non H-style) suspenders and Tyrolean hat. Many scenes in the 2nd half. Also sitting/being tied.

–Comment: Most notably these 2 handsome boys in Lederhosen with H-style suspenders in part 1 at 24 minutes, also headshots. Earlier a very young boy in Lederhosen, later a man in Lederhosen. Brief scenes. Also boys and men in 30s uniforms. One light spanking scene of a young boy (not in Lederhosen)
Has been aired yesterday on ARD alpha. Available on the ARD mediathek.
Most or all scenes were not colorized but originally filmed in color. Directly before WWII.
I missed some parts, but obviously very few Lederhosen scenes. Maybe none in part 2.
Rating ~3-4.

Le temps des secrets (2022)
Biography, novel by Marcel Pagnol, remake

–Who in clothing: boy sailor suit
–Who in clothing 2: hist. clothes

–Clothing occurrence: medium- ?
–Rating: 3/10 ?
–Rating: ***
–Comment: At least one or more young boys in sailor suit(s) and historical clothes (including shorts). Maybe also ladies in sailor (style) dresses.
I haven't seen the complete movie, yet. I don't think that the main characters wore sailor suits/dresses. Main character is younger than in the 2007 TV movie (I own that on DVD, rating 8). Probably the remake is not as good. For sailor suit scenes rating ~3-4 for now, movie itself maybe rating ~5? Perfect rural setting. Handsome boy. Needs to be rechecked later. Pic from the trailer.

(Audio) book: Enid Blyton: Unser Foxl ist ein Held
Next to the recently updated Secret Series (f/m rating now 9 on my other blog) I found several book and vinyl covers (radio plays) showing overalls and also at least this with a boy in Lederhosen or at least shorts with H-style suspenders.
I have to do more research for English titles and if there are movies as well. And maybe more illustrations in the books. Most of these book editions are probably of the 70s. Books might be much earlier (~30s). And there might be different illustrators (and even more in foreign editions).
September 27, 2022
Update 3: Tom Turbo (1993)
I found another young boy (looks like a black boy) in a white sailor suit (and white collar and hat) in episode Das Gold der Geiermeiers (1998). Clip title Fratz Fantom - Video. The video is very short (<2 min). I haven't found the full episode. So not sure how many scenes or if there are more actors.
I'm always watching the 2 rebroadcasts on weekends on ORF . Up to now, no more Lederhosen or sailor suit scenes. I also check regularly for new uploads on YouTube.
Rating 2 for now for this episode.
Main entry here, rating up to 5 (incl Lederhosen) and rating 7 on my overalls blog

–Comment: William Svedberg as Rasmus in brown shorts or Lederhosen with H-style suspenders. As announced on my overalls blog.
I think, I have seen (some parts) on TV long time ago, but I don't like this movie and the main character here.
Novels by Astrid Lindgren. There is also a (shortened ?) 2001 TV version.
In the novel he wore red shortalls. Also shortalls in 1950s b&w movie(s), see other blog.
Rating ~2-3 only.
September 3, 2022
Mischief Makers (Our Gang silent films) new release
During research for better, remastered Our Gang movies, I found this one. After 6 remastered Blu-Rays (of the talkies) with very good image quality, there is a new release, German dubbed.
It's (until now) a set of 2 DVDs called Die kleinen Strolche 2. ZDF Staffel (first aired in 1967). Pictured is this 2nd season (unknown episode, around 1920s).
These are abridged films with removed inter-titles. And this ones have new music, noises and a German narration by Jürgen Scheller (and 2 kids), which were assumed to be lost.
Image quality should be good/same as aired (but don't expect a perfect quality of 100 year old silent movies). There are new remastered releases of the silent films announced.
I have several movies on this and my other blog. Several later films have been colorized.
Main list here, rating up to 6 (and up to 7 on my overalls blog)
https://sailorsuitsandlederhosenfilmblog.blogspot.com/2016/10/update-our-gang.html
Update 2023: I think the pic is from Buster's Mix up (1926) showing the main character (boy Arthur Trimble). More infos here and on my overalls blog soon.

Update: Die Wölfe (2009)
I found a stream online and finally can provide better pics of this chubby teen boy in Lederhosen. I haven't found other boys in Lederhosen but at least in shorts. I only have checked this briefly. Movie is rather poor.
Unfortunately few scenes only.
Main entry, rating 5 (rather 4 or less)

–Rating: 4/10

–Comment: One boy (not the main character but often shown) in shorts (might be buckskin Lederhosen, but could also be cotton or maybe corduroy), I think a belt and rather strange zipper(s). Either 2 zippers or 1 but not in the middle. Also sitting.
Also several other boys in similar short shorts.
Main charater is the younger boy on right, Veselin Prahov.
English title: A Dog in a Drawer. Original title: Куче в чекмедже.
Rating ~4.

Update: Das Haus in Montevideo (1963)
This Heinz Rühmann movie set in 1924 has recently been re-aired. Next to almost sailor style clothes with old sailor's caps with a pom-pom, there are also real sailor clothes near the end (pic 1), also some few kids in sailor suits in the background in the middle of the movie. Also 2 sailor men on the ship (white and dark blue suits). The scene of the earlier pic, there's a girl in a blue sailor dress (white lace collar) and a lady in a blue dress with sailor collar.
12 kids, all sleeping in one room (attic). Not sure if I had this on my bedroom blog. But I divided up boys and girls, so around just ~6 brothers.
Rather few good scenes, interesting clothes, but a rather poor Rühmann film. Also nice pigtails including loops. There's a spanking plot but not shown.
Main entry, was rating 5, but rather 3-4

–Rating: 4/10
–Rating: ****
–Comment: One boy (Jens-Uwe Paff) in Lederhosen, With and without H-style suspenders. Pic 1 at 4, pic 2 at 59 minutes (with suspenders). Cycling at 4 minutes (without suspenders, with patina, almost smooth finished, very good rear view while cycling at 6).
Also swimming scenes (in other shorts) at 46.
Character should be 12 yo but looking younger.
I don't like the 70s. The boy is not that handsome, I only noticed these 2 longer scenes.
So rating ~4-5 only.

Update 2: Tom Turbo (1993)
At least a very young boy in short Lederhosen in episode Was ist los in Knatterstadt?, recently been aired on ORF, available on the mediathek.

–Comment: Some few brief scenes of a kid, I think this is a girl acting as a boy in short buckskin Lederhosen with H-style suspenders.
I found this during research for "English G Lighthouse" and similar DVDs from this school book company. (I recently bought a DVD and an interactive whiteboard DVD-ROM, my 1st one). More infos on both my other blogs.
There are some few more anniversary clips. I assume this is a girl, better shown in clip "75 Jahre große Pause". I haven't found others in Lederhosen.
On the Lighthouse and similar DVDs (color) there are handsome kids (including boys in white shiny shorts). Unfortunately I only found one brief clips of other kids of an upcoming edition. At least there are several book previews with some pics of the vids.

–Comment: Some boys of the Vienna Boys Choir (Wiener Sängerknaben) in their (modern) black suits with light blue collars (thin stripes).
After finding the choir in Tom Turbo (rating (4)-5), I found this clip on YouTube. Uploaded in 2017. Exact episode and year of broadcasting unknown. Probably in s6e11, less likely s5e15 or s1e5 (plots that fit about sounds). (According IMDb in s7e6 "Sounds" But this episode has a different title and was aired in 2018 (according wunschliste) and not on Feb 21 2017). Maybe they also appeared in other episodes?
Series (and clip) subtitle: Wer nicht weiß muss alles glauben.
They had to destroy a glass by singing. At least partially on DVD (not sure about this episode).
May 14, 2022
Update: Tom Turbo (1993)
Now also an episode with a young boy and man in Lederhosen and a light red hat. Alpine setting. Ep Das Wesen aus dem Wasserfall. Also sitting but rather few good scenes and the boy is very young.

Also in other episodes boys and girls in bib overalls, coveralls and other clothes of interest including swim wear and other sports clothes like American Football.
Pic from episode Alarm, der Wunderwutz. I think in the 90s. The boys are in their castle where they live in real life (I recognized the large staircase inside). For now the only episode showing sailor suits. I haven't found Lederhosen, yet, but it's possible. And the series is still running.

Interesting, but rather few sailor suit scenes. And I somehow don't like this boy, although blond.

Book: Der Klub der Harmlosen
There are many vintage books (I have some few other posts). This early 1949 book looks interesting. Authors: Irmgard Muske (and Horst Weiß), publisher J.G. Oncken, which is a Christian publisher. With b&w illustrations.
I have seen 2 sample pages (incl illustration) at a school. I don't like the early style of writing (old names, old works etc). So I haven't ordered this.

Schloss Einstein - ep 1011
Chiara as anime girl in a sailor dress/sailor fuku. Here in ep 1011 but I think also in earlier seasons. She often has either just the wig or sporting buns, blonde, rather short hair and freckles. Also dental braces. I like this actress, but she's very thin.
Others in a sailor suit and mainly boys in Lederhosen in earlier episodes

–Comment: One boy in smooth finish or nappa Lederhosen and 2 zippers (brief scene running towards the camera, front view only) and later one younger boy in Lederhosen with H-style suspenders and a pointed hat (very brief and partially shown). Maybe more in other documentaries.
By coincidence I found this and many other short and long b&w documentaries on the WDR and other local broadcasters on the ARD Mediathek. "We have opened our archives".
Most are very short ~3 minutes. This is 53 seconds. I only have seen some few others.

Dik Trom weet raad
Family film, #7 based on book series
–Year: 1976
–Year in film: 1890s ?
–Country: The Netherlands
–Who in clothing: Piet ~9 ?, sailor suit
–Who in clothing 2: hist. clothes
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Clothing occurrence: medium+ ?
–Rating: 5/10 ?
–Rating: *****
–Comment: At least one boy in a sailor suit with dark blue collar, 3 stripes. Grey, knee-length knickers, Light blue, striped blouse, white sailor's hat, fixed with a string and wooden clogs.
A friend of the main character, probably Ferdy Vroomen as Piet van Dril (Flipse is a man). He also starred in other movies of this series, I also found that character in Dik Trom en zijn dorpsgenoten (1973 remake of the 1947 version of the same name), same clothes but movie is in b&w, also available as colorized version. Also in Dik Trom knapt het op. Other actor in sailor suit in Dik Trom en het circus (1960), b&w.
There are 11 movies and a 2012 musical, but I think most of the modern movies not showing sailor suits. Famous is the 2010 version, probably no sailor suit scenes (looks modern, and have bathing costumes). There should be a 2018 film Uit het leven van Dik Trom, but I haven't found that one.
I found this by coincidence during research.

–Comment: I think only one boy at school with a sailor collar (2 stripes, also rear view). Also other historical clothes at school (suits/uniforms) and at home including a night shirt.
I first thought this would be Dagli Appennini alle Ande (1916). (I have briefly checked that one, no sailor suits found). Same director (Leopoldo Carlucci) and actor (Ermanno Roveri). IMDb missing both director and author for this movie here.
Very few sailor suit. So rating ~2-3 only.
For several versions of Cuore (rating up to 10) see this post.
I also found the source of Unknown #31. It's not from a Heimatfilm but from a 10 year old photo.

I found this during research for my School TV blog.
There are also Laserdiscs (not sure if for this video as well). Running time ~60 minutes?

I assume very few scenes. As these are mainly travel videos.
So rating ~2-3 for now only.

Horst Lichter - Keine Zeit für Arschlöcher
Biography
–Year: 2022
–Year in film: 1969, 1970, 2010s
–Country: Germany
–Who in clothing: Horst aged 8/9, Lederhosen
–Who in clothing 2: black uniform
–Available on DVD: yes ?
–I own: no
–Clothing occurence: low
–Rating: 2/10
–Rating: **
–Comment: Emilian Heinrich in grey buckskin Lederhosen with H-style suspenders. Around 3 brief scenes, one at 6 minutes (pictured), a bit later kneeing outside, side view and inside sitting (behind a table, headshot) ~20-25 minutes.
Also later in a short black uniform as Edelknabe (sitting on the floor) next to some few other boys (standing). Probably better than the Lederhosen. Also medium blue shorts and other vintage clothes like pajamas (near the end).
Has been aired yesterday. I missed some parts including the 2nd half and only saw the very brief headshot (would be rating 1). Today I've rechecked some parts on the mediathek and found the scenes at the beginning. So rating ~2. I don't like this thin boy.
Most of the movie showing the recent Horst and his mom with few flashback scenes.
I wonder why not the real Horst had played himself.
I like his show and the movie is not that boring but not very good either.

Unknown 31: Unknown Heimatfilm
During research for "Rosamunde Pilcher: Vier Luftballons und ein Todesfall" (see my overalls blog, rating 5), I've found this pic on Google Images which is misaligned to this movie. It was originally posted on "Augsburger Allgemeine" online, 2 days ago and is obviously a different part of a TV programme.
I'm not sure if it's a modern Heimatfilm (image ratio is not fullscreen but rather wide, image quality and colors are good, man and women looks also modern, haircut, glasses) or if it's a classic movie (60s) as the short Lederhosen suggests.
The time could also be wrong. So it might be a Christmas broadcast. The only notable was Sissy (mainly part 1).
I've also checked the online magazine, but I haven't found it. Most movies there are from ZDF, like the misaligned text. Or could be at BR.
Can anybody help? Maybe I already have this movie. Especially when it's a classic.
Probably it's at the end of the movie, a marriage?
Update: I rechecked it and found it on the newspaper dated 1-1-2022. Pic is not from a movie but 10 year old pic of priest Herbert Kohler from Neuburg.

Weihnachtskonzert aus dem Stephansdom 2021
Happy New Year! By coincidence, I've seen some parts of this online.
