Comment: 2 older boys, in long sailor suits, one in white and another one in dark blue with white collar. The boy in white (and the girl) also undressing and swimming. Later a very young boy with a very large and long collar flap, very high at front (pic 3). 

Based on adventure novel "The Master of Ballantrae" by Robert Louis Stevenson, set in ~1860s (according IMDb). The novel starting in the 1740s. First movie was released in 1953 (color starring Errol Flynn), there are also some other versions which I haven't checked (maybe none has boys ?). 

Rather few (good) sailor suit scenes.

Rating ~4-5 for sailor suits. Movie itself maybe a bit higher.

Children of Germany: in the Rhineland

 

As announced, I recently found this 16mm documentary (French version). Aka Children of the Rhineland (1955). Aired in France under Enfants d'Allemagne. I think some scenes were aired under Unser Rhein (but in b&w but sharper details).

11 minutes. Directed by Milan Herzog. Encyclopaedia Britannica Film. There are some more details on the YouTube description. Even the names of the boys and the village are described: Peter Müller, cousin Hans, friends Kurt and Walter, Kaub on the Rhine, going to Spitzer Stein St. Goar. Surprisingly this is in (faded) colors.

There's also another version on YouTube by HuntleyFilmArchives (Children of the Rhineland 1950's). I have some other movies on my overalls blog (List 62: LCA, EB and similar Educational Films). Encyclopædia Britannica, EB Films, previously ERPI Classroom films. No entry on IMDb.

Main entry, rating 7

Info 326: Webfinds 16mm films - Lederhosen

 


I got a suggestion for a playlist about bib overalls. (See other blog and upcoming post there). I only have checked few movies there (rating 9-10). But I first checked another YouTube channel called "The Art of Film on 16mm" with at least one movie in the other playlist.

There are some very interesting movies, some from German company FWU, others from Bettkantengeschichten (including ep 47 Im Versteck , Mein Freund Arno (new pics there, smooth finished or nappa but b&w). Rating up to 8. Also some few of Sesamstraße, Achterbahn (1992), Neues aus Uhlenbusch, Anderland, Karfunkel, Rappelkiste, etc.  

1950s-1990s, but mainly 1980. Also non-German movies like from the USA. Some documentaries.

I haven't checked them all. Also some on my other blog. Her some new ones

Pic 1: "Der Schmutzfink" Germany 1954 (open fly) also in bathtub. 

Pic 2: "Denk an Deine Gesundheit, Rolf!" Germany 1951, also cycling.

Pic 3: Willy Reichert in... "Geliebter Kuckuck" s1e4 Germany 1963  (Stefan Wille ?)

Unpictured: Enfants d'Allemagne- Children of Germany - In the Rhineland. Probably same as Unser Rhein (rating 7) but this is even in (faded) color. 

Some old clips from the Wiener Sängerknaben (Vienna Boys Choir) at least sailor suits like Sah ein Knab ein Röslein stehn.

Also shiny shorts like "Wenn der Hahn kräht".

Handsome boy: Erste Begegnung (Benjamin Zobrys). Longhaired boy: Annes erster Kuss. Maybe I missed some good ones. Probably also new upcoming uploads.

Comment: The Trapp children in grey, short sailor suits/sailor dresses. 2 blue stripes. Long white stockings. Long collars. Pic 1 showing Joe West as 11 yo Kurt. Teen boy Friedrich is played by Michael Nigro (pic 2 top right). Some good scenes. Unfortunately no Lederhosen scenes like in the original movie (rating 8).

There is also a 2015 movie with the same title and many stage plays and musicals. 

I have some other version, search for Sound of Music. And the original movies Die Trapp-Familie (rating 10) starring Michael Ande. And die Trapp-Familie in Amerika (I own both on DVD). I haven't linked them all in other posts and most pics are still tiny. (Sorry, I don't have larger pics on my current PC).

Comment: Larry Simms in a dark blue long sailor suit and jacket. Brief scene. Also often in shortalls in other earlier episodes (soon on my other blog, rating ~3). There's also one colorized film.

Also many young and older boys of the Robert Mitchell's Boys Choir in beige or similar shorts and dark scarves looking like boy scouts in Blondie in Society (1941).

The last movie is in 1950 and the boy is much older then but I think not in shortalls and sailor suit anymore. There are also 2 later series. I haven't checked them all.

Book: Rolf Ulrici: Die Räuberschule

 


I recently found this 60s book cover depicting a boy in Lederhosen with H-style suspenders. Illustrations by Walter Rieck and Atelier Herbert Lorenz (not sure about the cover illustrator). Maybe the illustrations inside don't have Lederhosen.

One of my favourite 70s authors. He did Western books but especially Sci-Fi like the "Monitor" series and related series like "Erdrakete Giganto" and Weltraumklipper. Main character is a blond clever boy with glasses "Superhirn". I will continue reading these books.

Time travel plot, 1900s, 1912, 1972, 1980. Not sure what is pictured in pic 2, probably in 1912 as well due to Reeve's suit.

Quite interesting sailor suit of the young boy.

Not bad, very good sailor suit, but I think very few scenes.

So rating ~4 only.

Maybe there are some more episodes. I haven't checked them all. 

One very good episode is s5e4-e7 Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1986) starring Patrick Day. Probably no overalls, maybe sailor suits or at least similar? Also the cross-dressing scene with Huck in a dress.

Maybe also of interest: s10e2 The Grapes of Wrath (1991).

Comment: Some few boys (and men) in Lederhosen in most or all episodes but few (good) scenes. Also other historical clothes, 30s uniforms, shorts, altar gowns etc. A brief spanking scene (hand) in ep 1. Worst is ep 4 set in  the 1960s. Best ep 2, then 1. Some Lederhosen (all pics) have much patina or are of smooth finished leather. Procession in ep 3 inclusing men in Lederhosen and altar boys. 30s uniform at least in ep (older boy, mainly rear view).

Searching for my unknown Italian movie, I'm currently checking again all Italian movies and series <1992 on IMDb and so found this. 

Pic 1 from part 2 Leb' wohl, du mein Südtirol. Pics 2+3 from part 1 Brennende Lieb'. Very interesting. I only have checked this at very high speed. Directed by Karin Brandauer.

Very interesting. I think I have seen it many years ago. How could I miss this? Needs to be rechecked. Main character is the girl Gudrun with very long, dark pigtails. But the boy is obviously also often shown. Not sure about the amout of Lederhosen. Maybe half in Lederhosen and other half in uniform.

Rating ~7-8 for now.

After having found the NBC Live Theater play The Member of the Wedding (1982), other blog rating 7-8 with a boy in shortalls, I searched for more NBC plays and only found this one.

Quite interesting collars but the boy in the real suit is very young. Also starring William Hurt.

Clothing occurrence: low-    
Rating:  3/10 *  (7/10)
Rating: ***
Comment: Mainly one blonde pigtailed girl in a medium blue sailor dress. Long matching collar, white boarder. Also some few front views but few and brief scenes and most from a distance. Also Dutch boys in historical clothes, shorts knickers, white underwear (side view) or less (brief rear view only). Few uniforms (men only).

I have now completely rechecked this DVD. I used to buy these coming of age movies ~15 years ago. Great plot and handsome boy (Maarten Smit), but for some reason one of my least watched movies.

Better are of course the other scenes of the boy.

English title: For a Lost Soldier. Autobiographical novel by Rudi van Dantzig. Produced by Matthijs van Heijningen (Ciske de rat, Kees de Jongen).

The German DVD has Dutch audio only (Dutch/German subtitles). RC0.

Sailor dress scenes ~rating 3. Movie rating 7-8. Translated novels are OOP and usually very expensive. A Dutch ebook is available including longer preview.

August 23, 2023

Update: Uomini & donne, amori & bugie

 

Finally, after 6.5 years, I have found the full movie on OK (in foreign title). As mentioned 3 boys and 2 (mainly one girl) in Lederhosen with H-style suspenders. 2 handsome older boys. Unfortunately rather few good scenes, in fact just one long scene ~26-36 minutes. Best at 30 (all pics). Also the boy in blue kneeing down. Also earlier but from a distance. 

And rear views (~ at 35) but with these open jackets. Scenes outside starting at 26. Overalls scenes are even much shorter (girl in light blue shortalls and a toddler boy in long overalls, soon to be updated on my other blog, will be rating 2.

I don't like much grey Lederhosen.

Main entry rating 8 (maybe rather 6-7)

Sorry, I'm currently quite busy and running out of movies. I'm also re-watching my DVDs, currently I'm watching Voor een verloren soldaat (For a Lost Soldier) at least a girl in a sailor dress there and boys in 1940s clothes, coming soon.

I found 3 musical clips with this pic, taken from another (unknown) PD movie and/or personal collection.

Also some few other pics, beach set in Belgium (Knokke-Heist, Oostende, Blankenberge). And many other clips with vintage pics 30s/40s including Berlin, some colorized. But I haven't checked them all. Maybe also Lederhosen?

The first movie/movie series is Suomisen perhe (soon on my other blog) with a lady in bib overalls. Also 2 very young kids, at least one is a boy in overalls at least in Suomisen taiteilijat.

I haven't seen the movies. The pic is taken from YouTube clip Suomen Filmiteollisuus closing logo (1942) to show the characters.

Rating 3-4 for now. Needs to be rechecked.

The Picasa albums are currently still up (July 20th 8am German time). But there are at least pics of the Rasputin/Alexei list missing (update: no, they were missing before, wordpress links, but I will fix them now). One day later the Picasa albums got deleted.

Info 323: Updates: Feuerwerk (1954), exclusive pics

 

Google hasn't started to delete the Albums, yet. Elsewhere it says after July 19th, albums aren't available anymore. Also not sure about the time zone (it's morning in Germany).

Yesterday, I've fixed some (target) links and re-uploaded some (exclusive pics), but as said they are all available on my Google Photo Albums. I have to check again tomorrow.

Pic 1 is a new re-upload. It's from Feuerwerk (1954) rating 7 (there's even a much better scene of a handsome boy). The pic was in Story 47.
