–Comment: I think boys and girls in sailor dresses. Ep 3 "Flickskola" set in 1901. Other episodes span years from 1689-1996. Bib overalls (1 girl) on my other blog rating 6.

Briefly checked. Another episodes are set in 1942 and 1970. But I think no Lederhosen or other clothes of interest.

Rating 3-4. Boys in dresses are rare.

This is a great and famous fantasy film. Based on a 2 part 30s novel. Made into an opera and there is a fund for a remake.

The boy pictured might be Georgi Lazarov (Георги Лазаров), but I think it's another (young) boy. For more info and pic see my recent post on my overalls blog (Info 2: Gli anni d'oro - actors). 

For the brief scenes rating ~3. Movie rating ~7.

Director Alejandro Jato. International title: Cousin. No entry yet on IMDb.

I haven't seen the full movie yet. Selection of several festivals. 

Rating 6-7 for now.  Update: I have briefly checked it. More scenes than assumed.

–Comment: At least this boy in a rare blue/white striped sailor suit. Probably more kids. Also ladies with sailor style dresses and collars.

I haven't found a stream yet. So needs to be checked later.

Rating ~5 for now for sailor suit, movie itself maybe higher. 

Plot is about Sweden's first female pilot Elsa Andersson. So I assume rather few scenes of kids. Director Jan Troell. Main plot in early 1920s, probably also some earlier scenes. Pilot was born in 1897 and died in 1922.

English title: As White as in Snow. Simplified title Sa vit som en sno.

R.I.P. Björn Andrésen (Death in Venice)

 

Yesterday, I read about his death 2 or 3 days ago aged 70. He appeared as 14 yo Tadzio in Death in Venice (Morte a Venezia, 1971) in both white and blue sailor suits and bathing costume. There also was a documentary "The Most Beautiful Boy in the World". I made these larger caps. R.I.P.

Main post rating 7

–Comment: At least 2 girls in different sailor dresses. More of interest some boys in white undershirts. It almost looks like my missing Italian assumed unknown film 9 but it's unlikely (hair at ears). Also interesting plot. First Israeli feature film about homosexuality. Main character is a 12 yo boy and his teacher.

For the girls rating ~2-3. Movie probably much higher. 

I haven't found the full movie yet but a trailer on the directors site (Wolmandan) with these pics.

Machboim is the official title. Hebrew title  .מחבואים

–Comment: New post. A recommendation on YouTube. Directed by Philippe Reypens on his official channel "(L'or des anges (1998)", a great documentary of choirs, must have on DVD). 

2 boys, one in blue, other in white sailor suit. Unfortunatley mainly from a distance and few scenes. No entry on IMDb. 2024 upload.

Rating ~3-(4).

Unknown 24= Visperas (1987)

Ep 1-3, full series on Spanish broadcaster rtve. Keywords on IMDb missing, also no results on Google Lens. Logo is from German's Kabelkanal, now Kabel Eins (used 1992-1994).

–Comment: New post. Suggestion from JN. Thanks Johnny! 2 boys in rare dark blue sailor suits at minute 29. I think a brief scene only. I think Jobe and Nash Zammit-Harvey. 2 stripes, also on front of the knee length pants. I found another boy and or both boys (I think in total 3) in other clothes. Of course many in historical clothes.

Interesting suits. But for the brief scene rating ~4 only.

Based on a play. Director and main character by Leah Purcell.

Info 2: Unknown Finnish 1989 series or movie (shiny shorts) = Tuomas (1989)

 

I have found and uploaded the full short film. And I found the title (due to the following program on my VHS). It's Tuomas. No entry on IMDb. The plot is about a young deaf boy. Now with sound. It wasn't dubbed (few dialogues). Also speedo scenes.

I will delete my earlier clip. Main post here.

English title: Mount Truth.

For the brief scene rating ~2 only. I also don't like the movie.

Info: Unknown Finnish 1989 series or movie (shiny shorts)

 

Not Lederhosen but vintage 80s shiny shorts. I had this on my blog then, rating probably 8. I have uploaded a short clip. Who knows the title? Lots of credits in the description. 

Maybe some are also interested in my other rare uploads like Corinna Pabst (starring young Robert Stadlober in 1997), or Tigerenten Club with Matthew Waters singing with German boys, please check my channel (1user254).

Update: I found the full movie and title is Tuomas.

Rating ~4.

Julek (1980) + play

 

Another missing post. 1979 Czech movie (IMDb: 1980). I think these pics are not from that movie but a (related) play. I found other boys in both white and blue real sailor suit. Not just this lace collar. But still interesting. I have to recheck that. Pics from 1. Sept 2019. Rating probably ~3. I later found 2 pics of had from the movie. Only one headshot a boy in a white sailor suit with blue collar and another pic of a boy in a black suit (not sailor suit) and flat hat. Obviously very few good scenes (rating 2 or 3) for the movie. Those pics from 18. Nov 2018.

–Comment: New post. At least these episodes with boys and girls in sailor suits and similar. Pic 1 from s1e12 1898: Rowley. Nice dark blue collar with 2 thin red stripes and hat. Either Anthony Benson or Sam Fraser. Pic 2 from s1e13 1888: Victoria. I haven't checked all episodes but the hundeds of pics on IMDb. Wide range of years 1780s-2000s. Some few more historical clothes, suits in other episodes.

I recently found this YouTube channel called "Twisted Lunchbox" with nice Australian TV series.

 

Beethoven Lives Upstairs

 

Another missing post. Rating was 5. Pics from 3. March 2018. Not Lederhosen or sailor suits but other historical clothes. Sailor-style lace collar. Canadian movie 1992. Historical 19th century setting.

Fallesmannin Arvo ja minä

 

Another lost post. 1995 Finnish series rating 5. Nice long collar. Also in a blue suit. Pics from 25. Feb 2018. Can't say which episode or amount of scenes.

I had "Flags of Our Fathers" (2006) rating 3 starring Jesse Bradford (I think he in blue and white sailor suit) but no need for posting pics of men.

I had a pic Feb 5th titled "Vater und Sohn" from a German carnival live performance on stage, both in longer Lederhosen, boy ~13yo, channel SWR, I assume it's from "Schwäbische Fasnet aus Donzdorf 2018" rating 5. I don't recall their names. Full show in on YouTube. I don't re-upload that pic.

"Die Legende von Paul und Paula" rating 3 has a post with missing pics. No need for pics, (toddler boy in Lederhosen or shorts) and some kids (mainly or only girls) in sailor style clothes. Update post is missing.

–Comment: At least Sverre Thornam now 14 yo (then 12-13 ? but looking even younger) in a white blouse and light blue sailor collar. Long pants, but also short pants with other shirt. I first thought it's a girl due to his face and eyes.

English title: Victoria Maa Doe. (Victoria Must Go).

I like light blue collars. I haven't seen the full movie yet. Handsome boy.

Rating ~4-5 for now. I assume rather few sailor suit scenes.

Tajemství dablovy kapsy

 

Another lost post. Pic from April 1st 2018. Rating 4. 1980 Czech TV movie. 1h16 (according IMDb 2h). Long dark blue sailor suit. Wide collar with 5 thin stripes. Straw hat. I think very few scenes.

Also other historical clothes. Actor might be Jan Potmesil. Another boy is Pavel Miko.

I had 2 more pics, one rare view showing the collar and 1 from a distance showing the length.

Københavns Drengekor (choir)

 

A suggestion from Felix. Thanks very much! There are several clips throughout the years and a 6 part documentary "Drengekoret 12 ar og i verdensklasse". I haven't checked the full documentary yet. Nice shiny dark blue and very long collar flaps. Both is very rare.

I've chosen these pics mainly to show style and length of the collars. Most boys are handsome and it's hard to choose the best scenes. Pics 1+3 from PINSEVESPER 2020 med Københavns Drengekor. Pic 2 from kulturnat 14/10/16 Domkirke. Note the different collar length. Quite many boys and also some men.

Rating ~7-8 for now. 

I have a documentary of another boys choir from Copenhagen
