How Green Was My Valley (1941)

Drama starring Roddy McDowall, 5 Oscars
-Year: 1941
-Year in film: 1890s
-Country: USA
-Who in clothing: girl, sailor dress
-Who in clothing 2: boys breeches, hist. cloth.
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: low ?
-Rating:  3/10 ?
-Rating: ***
-Comment: Obviously at least one girl (about 10-12 yo) in a white sailor dress, blue collar (1st pic on the left), also other kids with string ties and boys in historical clothing including breeches or similar. Also starring Roddy McDowall (1928-1998 "Flicka"), Walter Pidgeon and Maureen O'Hara.

There are also 2 later TV series (also in color) which I also have to check. Looks quite interesting, but I can't say much more yet. I found it by coincidence. Novel by Richard Llewellyn and is set in a Welsh mining town hence the British clothing.

Rating 3 for now only but unsure. Movie and actors might be better. Completely on YouTube but I don't had the time to check it at slow speed.

The Brady Bunch Movie

Family film
-Year: 1995
-Year in film: 1990s
-Country: USA
-Who in clothing: Cindy 11, sailor dress
-Who in clothing 2: 70s clothing
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, partly TV recording
-Clothing occurence: low ?
-Rating:  3/10
-Rating: ***
-Comment: Olivia Hack in this chequered medium length dress with a white splitted collar (front and back the same) and red ribbons, also at the pigtails.

During research for this Brady movie for my bedroom blog I found this interesting clothing. I don't like this modern movie. The original series (1969-1974) is much better (3 boys and 3 girls). The movie is set in the 1990s but they still wear 70s clothes.

For more infos about the series see my bedroom blog (rating 7, including a bunk bed). No entry of this or other Brady movies yet.

Rating 2-3 for both clothes and the movie. Again, I don't like the 70s.

-Comment: I think Paula Beer in blue/white striped sailor dress, blue collar and at least a younger girl with a white collar (sitting behind her). Also boys in historical clothing, but I don't know of any in sailor suits. And men in white uniforms and obviously the girl in a bathing costume. Unfortunately I missed the beginning of this movie.

I don't like this older teen girl and most of this film is probably rather boring. I think few interesting sailor dress scenes. But I have to check this again later.

Aka "The Poll Diaries", directed by Chris Kraus. Some Awards like a Bambi and a Bavarian and German Film Award. Rather few infos and pics on the web. There's a trailer but no sailor suits, so no need for embedding it.

Rating 4 for now.

-Comment: 12 yo Lukas Huber as Ludwig Thoma in dark brown almost black buckskin Lederhosen with suspenders and Tyroleaon hat in 2010 episode "Duttenfeiler". The boy is pictured on the far right. Sorry, for the bad pic (taken from one of the official behind the scenes clips), better pics:

I found this by coincidence on the official website after updating this entry on my overalls blog (rating 2, woman in 1980s overalls and later also grown up Hans Kraus who coincidentally also played Ludwig Thoma, also see Tante Frieda, Onkel Filser and other Lausbubengeschichten, rating 8)

Unfortunatley I haven't seen this episode yet and I also couldn't find any clips on the web, only this pics. But looks very good. He also drinks beer as Lausbub Ludwig Thoma. Maybe I have seen some few parts of it (last Christmas?)

Also men in Lederhosen, there are some few and short clips on Youtube (other episodes). I hope for a soon rebroadcasting. Schuhplattler /Bankplattler scenes at least in "Obandlt is!" (set in 1925). Some few episodes are available on DVD, sadly not this one yet.

Rating 7 for now.

Priklyucheniya Toma Soyera i Geklberri Finna

Tom Sawyer 1981
-Year: 1981
-Year in film: ~1850s
-Country: Soviet Union
-Who in clothing: boy, sailor suit
-Who in clothing 2: other hist. clothing
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: very low
-Rating:  4/10
-Rating: ****
-Comment: I only noticed this young boy in a long white sailor suit, blue long collar during the fence painting scene (I think at 25 minutes). Also of course lots of others in historical clothing. Pants with rare suspenders (obviously one suspender only) also bow ties and similar and straw hats.

Quite interesting Tom Sawyer TV movie (sailor suits are very rare in them). 225 minutes. Very good props, setting and clothing. But I prefer other Tom Sawyer productions and US actors. Russian title "Приключения Тома Сойера и Гекльберри Финна", English title "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn (1981)".

Also a quite good bedroom scene (soon on my other blog). Some scenes like the tooth pulling scene reminds me of the 1979 version "Huckleberry Finn and His Friends".

Rating 3-4 for this brief sailor suit scene. Rating 5 for the movie.

Exclusive pic#35 sailor suit boys 1900s class

And another big class pic. Almost all boys wearing sailor suits. But very different and some interesting ones. About 1900s. Can't say much more. Maybe Northern Germany. Some boys looking very angry, some are obviously brothers, only one is smiling.

Schön ist die Welt

Musical Heimatfilm starring Rudolf Schock
-Year: 1957
-Year in film: 1950s
-Country: Germany
-Who in clothing: Hella ~35, Rudolf ~42, others
-Who in clothing 2: (teen) boy ?
-Available on DVD: no
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Clothing occurence: low
-Rating:  4/10
-Rating: ****
-Comment: Renate Holm (on left), Rudolf Schock, 1st pic on right and 2nd pic on left (both without suspenders and 2 zippers) and some other men in buckskin black and some in brown Lederhosen with suspenders. One young boy in black shorts with suspenders and one teen boy in long black or similar pants. Maybe leather but can't say for sure (both). Kids right at the beginning (should be set in the US, but most likeley German teens), but very short scene. The Watschnplattler scenes are on a Ludwig Thoma stage play (outside), also other costumes, but nothing of interest.

As announced this had just been aired. Rare Heimatfilm but rather few Heimatfilm scenes. Also rare a woman in Lederhosen. She had to change her clothes in that alpine cabin as her dress was wet. Rudolf Schock helped her closing the belt and cuffing up the Lederhosen. She said the Lederhosen are rare and complicated and he likes her in those.

I don't like this Heimatfilm. Famous actors like Willy Millowitsch, Rudolf Vogel, Herta Staal and Paul Löwinger. English title "Fair is the World".

Rating 3-4.
