Year: 1989

Country: Canada, USA
Who in clothing: Jane ~12 ?, sailor dress
Who in clothing 2: hist. clothes
Available on DVD: yes
I own: no
Clothing occurrence: very low?
Rating:  3/10 ?
Rating: ***
Comment: At least a girl in a dark blue sailor dress. Obviously Mairon Bennett (sister of Zachary Bennett), I think also pigtailed. There's also another dark haired girl.

I haven't seen the full movie yet. I assume few scenes at the end only.

Directed by Kevin Sullivan ("Road to Avonlea"), co-produced by Disney and CBC.

Typical Sullivan movie and "Anne of Green Gables" setting and plot.

I assume few good scenes. Rating ~3 for that sailor dress scene for now only.

Rating:  3/10 ?

CommentDonna Dobrijevic (The Littlest Hobo (1979)) and Jennifer McKinney in dark blue sailor dresses, white skirts. First I thought the the short haired girl might be a boy. Very brief scene at the end, also a brief rear view. Women in sailor-style dresses. Also  Ellen Burstyn and maybe men or boys in bib overalls (at least a toddler boy), other blog rating 4.

I only have checked this briefly. The vid is in very poor image quality. (There are some publicity pics in better quality but b&w.

Many supporting actors, maybe some more. At least historical clothes. But for this brief scene rating ~3.

Dik Trom en zijn dorpsgenoten (1973)

 

Family film #5, remake based on book series
Year: 1973
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:  4/10 ?
Rating: ****
Comment: At least one boy I think character Piet van Dril (unknown actor) in a white sailor suit. Long blue collar flap. White cap. Several scenes.

Movie is originally in b&w. Pic from a colorized version. There's also a 1947 movie but I haven't found that one. 

The character Flipse was wrong as it's a man *1937. Boy on left probably Gerrie Hendriks as Jantje Vos, middle Peter Erven as Dik Trom.

I also have Dik Trom weet raad (1976) color rating 5, I now think Ferdy Vroomen as Piet. Another movie is Dik Trom knapt het op (Dik Trom knap't het op) b&w and some more movies but most not having sailor suits.
