Update: Brausepulver - Geschichten aus den fünfziger Jahren

 

There are currently I think 3 episodes on YouTube (16mm channel). One not having Lederhosen. Image quality is as usual quite poor but here not that bad. Pic 1 from ep Die Mine. Pic 2 from Bertha und die Stürmer. I think the Lederhosen of the tall boy are smooth finished. I think all others including the girl wore shorts. Also other scenes of interest (tin bathtub). Obviously still not on DVD. I wonder how many series were also released on 16mm reel.

Main entry rating 7

Comment: At least Camilla Stockmarr ~14 yo as ~12 yo Alice in a medium blue sailor blouse and long darker pants with matching collar, 2 thin white stripes in ep 1 set in 1953.

Available on Danish broadcaster DR. Novel by Elisabeth Lyneborg.

Quite interesting late setting. I only have checked this briefly (ep 1 only). Almost looks like a teen boy. Reminds me of Björn Andrésen in Morte a Venezia /Death in Venice (rating 7) "The Most Beautiful Boy in the World (2021)".

Rating ~3-4.

Update: Almost Angels (1962) Lederhosen

 

I have roughly checked the full movie. Quite disappointing and rather few sailor suit scenes, one is at the end. At 53 minutes I found this scene with a boy in grey Lederhosen or shorts with suspenders. I think also another boy in longer, brown Lederhosen? Mainly or only from a distance. The image quality is quite poor and I can't identify the fabric.

Main entry rating 7 (rather 6 and rating ~4-5 for this scene)

Almost Angels (1962)

 

Disney film. Vienna Choir Boys
Year: 1962
Year in film: 1960s  
Country: USA
Who in clothing: boys ~10-12 sailor suits
Who in clothing 2: Lederhosen ?
Available on DVD: yes 
I own: no
Clothing occurrence: medium- ?    
Rating:  7/10 ?   
Rating: *******
Comment: Members of the Vienna Boys Choir (Wiener Sängerknaben) of the 60s and Britain Vincent Winter as Tony and Australian Sean Scully in both black and white sailor suits. Sometimes also with black caps. Also in other clothes like pajamas and casual clothes I think including jeans.

As announced for an unknown reason I missed this. I heard of this movie before and maybe watched it many years ago. I haven't seen it recently completely. I also mentioned the German title in an 16mm post.

German title: Ein Gruß aus Wien. Disney-Land s11e20+21. Starring Peter Weck.

For some more movies and documentaries about this choir (in both Lederhosen and sailor suits) check tag choir.

Nice, typical blue collars and white stripes. (Nowadays the collars are lighter blue and the stripes thinner, as shown in Silk Road).

Rating ~(6)-7 for now. I have to recheck it for amount of scenes and if Lederhosen (I don't think so).

Update: Also Lederhosen or shorts with H-style suspenders but probably very briefly. Rather rating ~6.

Update: Die große Chance (1957)

 

Searching for Almost Angels (Disney, 1962) Vienna Boy's Choir (Wiener Sängerknaben), surprisingly I don't have an entry (sailor suits white and dark). I found this post (also tagged choir) rating 4 missing a pic. As those movies are quite rare and most probably prefer Lederhosen, I have re-uploaded this pic. (Almost Angels coming next).

Here soloist Harald Mertens on left in nice shorts (and also jeans) but not Lederhosen also singing with men.

Main entry (no more pics)

Comment: At least these 2 girls in dark sailor dresses/sailor style jacket. Also at least one boy in historical clothes and hat.

I haven't seen the full movie yet. Most of it is in color, set in 1980s. Probably only very few and brief flashback scenes (set in both 1915 and 1921).

That director had some very good movies. I have some on my other blog (boys, teen boys, men and ladies in overalls, rating up to 7 (L'argent fait le bonheur, I even bought this and others on DVD).

Comment: One or 2 blonde boys sitting in dark buckskin Lederhosen with simple suspenders. I think very few and brief scenes. Sitting in the car and at school. Set between 1943-1950. B&W and color. I think Lederhosen only in b&w.

Also other scenes of interest like scenes in underwear and swimwear.

For the Lederhosen scenes rating ~3. I don't like much this movie. Movie rating maybe ~4-5.

Berlin 9 Uhr 37, Berlin 21 Uhr 37, etc

 


On Friday there was "Berlin 9 Uhr 37 - Alltag einer geteilten Stadt" (1959) on ARD Alpha. Some boys in Lederhosen. Good scenes, maybe rating ~7. Unfortunately these Alpha Retro episodes are not available on the Mediathek. But rebroadcasting tomorrow. During research I found some others available on the ardmediathek (channel rbb) in different chapters (I haven't seen them all).

Pic 2 from "Berlin 21 Uhr 37. Ein Tag vor dem 13. August 1961 in Berlin" (1961) one young man or older teen boy in smooth finished Lederhosen at 9 minutes. Pic 3 is from "Traditionelles Volksfest in Kreuzberg" (1964). Some boys in Lederhosen playing Three-legged race.

Another young man or older teen boy in tight smooth finished Lederhosen and maybe younger boys in "Berliner Kinder in Italien" (1965) at 1 (pic 1, chapter Stunden der Muße". Also clips showing swimwear. Very young kids in "Zu wenige Kinderspielplätze in Berlin" (1965) and "Ferienaktion für Kinder" (1964). I think hundreds of movies, mainly very short.

Comment: Mainly Kim Smith in a long white sailor suit and blue, regular collar and straw hat. Rather few scenes on a beach. Some few other kids (supporting actors) and also a very young girl with a long collar. Also other historical clothes including I think few bathing costumes and uniforms.

As announced I'm currently checking 60s movies. Set during WWI.  

Sorry for the title, but that's how it's called.

Pic 1 at 1h24. Pic 2 at 16 minutes. That scene is quite long ~16-27 minutes. Movie is 2h24 long.
