Young Sherlocks (1922) Our Gang

 

There are new remastered uploads from ClassicFlix. Some are from 35mm prints and in very good quality (considering the age of the reels). Pic is from the silent movie Young Sherlocks (1922) with kids boys and girls in white and blue sailor suits.

Also check my overalls blog for very good movies with overalls rating up to 7 like The Big Show (1923).

Rating ~3-4. Briefly checked. Kids are very young. 

Main overview here, rating up to 6 (some colorized)

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.

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

–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

Info: Aled Jones: Voices From the Holy Land, Jongens van 15

 

Long uploads coming tomorrow, MO. Jongens van 15 (upcoming clip 2, very rare documentary series, pictured) has a Dutch choir boy also showing other boys in a sailor suit, from the Rotterdams Jongenskoor Boys Choir. Looking younger. With hat.

Aled Jones not in a sailor suit but also of interest. Full VHS. Hopefully it won't be blocked.

Please also check my other very rare clips on YouTube, channel 1user254. Like shiny shorts, US Lifeguard and Auf die Plätze..., Potje Sport (Potje Voetbal), speedos, Gli anni d'oro 1992 (bib overalls) etc.

–Comment: At least this boy (not sure about his name) in a sailor suit, white blouse, dark blue pants 7/8th and straw hat. Blue collar, 3 stripes. There's another boy maybe in same suit at least pants but closed blue jacket. Scene from ep 5 set in 1914. Pic at 26. I only noticed this brief scene. Series covers years from 1867-1974 set in Vienna. Found by coincidence on YouTube. Briefly checked some episodes, but I don't assume more scenes of interest. Uniforms?

Nice but for the brief scenes rating ~4-5.

Few good scenes. Most of interest the sailor suit of the doll. Based on a podcast.

Rating ~3-(4).

–Comment: At least this girl in a nice short dark blue sailor dress. Collar with 2 stripes. Red scarf. Also at least a girl in blue shortalls or mor likely a dress. I first found 2 short clips then 5 short clips on YouTube what could almost be the complete movie. But later also one complete official clip. Director Tamela D'Amico. Quite late 1946 setting.

In fact I was searching for the 1999 Italian movie "Volare!". 

Rating ~3. 

Machboim (1980)

–Rating:  3/10 *     
–Rating: ***
–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).

–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.

Trapp family choir (What's my Line?)

Another van Trapp post, but this time the original choir. Nice short sailor suits. Unknown colors, maybe very light blue or green? Aired on Jul 3 1960. Full episode on YouTube by What's My Line?. What's My Line? - Trapp family choir; Tony Randall [panel] (Jul 3, 1960).

The von Trapp Family: A Life of Music

 

Biography/drama
–Year: 2015
–Year in film: 1930s  
–Country: USA, D, A
–Who in clothing: Werner ~11, Rupert ~14, man Lederhosen
–Who in clothing 2: boys, girls, sailor suits
–Available on DVD: yes  
–I own: no
–Clothing occurrence: low ?        
–Rating:  4/10 ?     
–Rating: ****
–Comment: New post. At least the 2 boys (Rupert and younger Werner, played by Austrian Finnian and Christopher Hipper, younger kids by Luca Russegger and Emanuel Promberger, but I think these are the older shown); in other movies Friedrich 14 and Kurt 11 yo) and a man (I think dad) in longer Lederhosen with H-style suspenders and they and their sisters (this time the younger kids) in blue sailor suits. German title: Die Trapp Familie - Ein Leben für die Musik. Also starring Yvonne Catterfeld as Maria Gustl (Augusta). I think some more more supporting actors in Lederhosen, at least men. Also uniforms.

I found this by coincidence on IMDb and still have to check the full movie. I assume few good scenes though. Pics from the trailers. Rating ~4 for now.

I also have the 2 original movies, Sound of Music, and some more related musicals
