This is my 2nd blog about feature films, TV series and documentaries with boys, girls, men and women in sailor suits, Lederhosen and other historical clothing of the 19th century and beyond. I collect informations, trailer videos, low-res images and personal comments/ratings. This blog was introduced in 2011. 2012-2020 on Wordpress. Now I'm back. Update will take a while.

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.

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.

–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

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 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

Update: Marhulový lekvár
I thought that I found another missing post, but it's just a different title. The IMDb title is again/still wrong. Though I tried different searches, I couldn't find it here (except on the A-Z list, rating 4). I found my post checking the July 2017 posts. Nice white sailot suit with a rectangled front.
The pic was missing though (as rating 4), so I re-uploaded it.
Correct title: Marhuľový lekvár. What means Apricot Jam.

I think I don't like this movie. Modern setting (unlike the 50s novel), few scenes. Rating ~2-3.
