Documentary (short)
Year: 1962
Year in film: 1962
Country: Germany
Who in clothing: boys ~8 Lederhosen
Who in clothing 2:
Available on DVD: no
I own: no
Clothing occurrence: very low
Rating:  5/10 
Rating: *****
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: Flipse ~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 Jan Kruyk. He also starred in other movies of this series, I also found him 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.

Year in film: 1890s ?
Country: Italy
Who in clothing: boy ~10, sailor suit
Who in clothing 2: hist. clothes, night shirt

Clothing occurrence: low-
Rating:  3/10
Rating: ***
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.
