–Comment: Mainly Kim Smith in a long white sailor suit and blue, regular collar and straw hat. Rather few scenes on a beach. Some few other kids (supporting actors) and also a very young girl with a long collar. Also other historical clothes including I think few bathing costumes and uniforms.

As announced I'm currently checking 60s movies. Set during WWI.  

Sorry for the title, but that's how it's called.

Pic 1 at 1h24. Pic 2 at 16 minutes. That scene is quite long ~16-27 minutes. Movie is 2h24 long.

Rating ~5.
