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.

–Comment: One young unknown boy in beige Lederhosen with H-style suspenders. Mainly a brief scene at 48 minutes. (Also near the end, at least sitting but partial). The 10 yo deaf main character played by Damien Walters in different shorts, one could be out of buckskin leather. Also in 50s red swimming trunks with a belt and 2 altar boys in gowns white/red.

For the brief scene of the young boy rating ~3. Movie a bit higher ~5. Nice landscapes. Handsome boy, but I don't like much the 50s.

–I own: no
–Clothing occurrence: very low    
–Rating:  4/10 ? 
–Rating: ****
–Comment: At least one boy in a sailor suit with light blue collar also with a hat. And this or another boy ~8 yo? in bib overalls (soon on my other blog, rating ~4), I also have there the 1966 version ABC Stage 67: Noon Wine (rating 5, boy and teen boy), I haven't found sailor suits there).

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).
