-Clothing occurence: low
-Rating: 3/10
-Rating: ***
-Comment: One or two boys in long sailor suits (at least 2 scenes at the first parts of the movie). One standing on a stage with grown ups, maybe another actor. I don't know their names, maybe Douglas Scott. Rather short collar flap. The right boy could be Dickie Henderson. Good scene of  blue sailor suit on the movie poster.

Completely on YouTube (title missing the vocals), I checked most of this movie (at high speed) and noticed only very few sailor suit scenes. But could be worse. A ship scene (Titanic ?) also with lots of actors, maybe sailors, but I didn't notice any more scenes of interest.

Aka Kavalkade after a play by Noel Coward. Starring Diana Wynyard, Clive Brook and Una O'Connor.

Rating 2-3.

Info 108: Tumblr blogs deleted

Sadly the tumblr blog (starting with s c o) and many more had been deleted. I didn't visit them each day, so not exactly sure why (because of links, of unrelated other blogs of him or most likely because of some pics). There still might be some other blogs about shorts, scouting and similar (with some reblogs) and still some pics in the Google cache. I don't know if he already had moved elsewhere, but I think I won't link to those image blogs anymore (except flickr).

Story 43: Montage, Sailor suit boys in NYC

I made some photo compositions. 1930s sailor suit boys appeared in 2010s New York City. Anybody missed the 2 boys on the far right on the first pic?

And a sailor collar flag on the moon. Has Aldrin hoisted it up or was a boy before on the moon? And that's even a typical Russian sailor collar! Also some longer collars. All boys are from my exclusive pics. Montage by myself.

I hope you like it. That are the first modern pics I found. I also thought of modern trains. If someone has a suggestion for a good background, please comment.

Das Märchenschloß

DEFA family film / fairy tale
-Year: 1961
-Year in film: 1960s /fantasy
-Country: DDR
-Who in clothing: boys ~6-10, Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2: shorts
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurrence: very often
-Rating: 6/10
-Rating: ******
-Comment: Main character Lutz Bosselmann as Peter ~ 6 yo (?) in buckskin Lederhosen with suspenders (pictured on top and pic 3 and 4 on right, often shown), also at least 3 other, partly older boys in Lederhosen, thereof one in smooth finish Lederhosen or most likely nappa (pic 2 on left). Also a lot of others in shorts.

This is a typical and good DEFA family film, not a real fairy tale but sort of and also a bit like a Heimatfilm at the beginning and end. Many Lederhosen scenes and some are very good. Novel by Fred Rodrian, screenplay and directed by famous by Herrmann Zschoche.

Rating almost 7 but only 6 because of the young age of the main character. I think I have seen it on TV many years ago. Now available on DVD and currently on YouTube. 51 minutes, no trailers.

Update: I forgot also the main character riding in Lederhosen at the beginning.

Info 106: Happy 4th of July, Alexander Rossi

Happy 4th of July (1900s or earlier postcard)

Below Alexander Mark Rossi (1840-1916) "The Little Anglers" and "A Summer's Tale".  There are also at least one more similar paintings of Rossi like "At the Seaside". All might be a bit bigger on my color PD album.

My iz Kronshtadta

War movie
-Year: 1936
-Year in film: 1919
-Country: Soviet Union
-Who in clothing: boy ~11, sailor outfit
-Who in clothing 2: sailors, uniforms
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: often ?
-Rating: 2/10 ?
-Rating: **
-Comment: At least one boy (maybe Mikhail Gurinenko as Misha the cabin boy) and some men in navy/sailor outfit (striped shirts and a jacket) and sailor hats (pictured), not sure if real collars as well. Some more younger boys acting, but probably non in sailor suits.

Russian title: "Мы из Кронштадта", English title "We Are from Kronstadt" and "The Sailors of Kronstadt". The plot is about the 1921 Kronstadt rebellion (true story) or the earlier events. There's also a famous song. "The Kronstadt sailors"/ Matrosen von Kronstadt (by Ernst Busch).

I can't say much more about this famous Russian movie. Maybe there are some interesting scenes and historical clothing/uniforms but I don't like wars and war movies. I also don't understand Russian. Available on DVD with English subtitles.

So rating 2-3 for now only.

Britannic

TV history /drama /romance

-Rating: 3/10 ?
-Rating: ***
-Comment: Eleanor Oakley in a dark blue sailor dress, blue collar 3 stripes (pictured on top) and some sailors in blue sailor suits and others in white suits with completely white collars. Also Archie Davies in a short suit /knickers with long beige stockings. Also of course others in historical clothing/uniforms and hats.

This is about the ship H.M.H.S Britannic which sinked in 1916. Looks quite similar like the Titanic movies it was even a sister ship.

It's completely on YouTube but I didn't had the time to watch it completely. The girl is quite young and I don't know any scenes of her brother or other boys in sailor suit.I'm not sure about their age, mabye 8-9.

Starring Edward Atterton, Amanda Ryan and Jacqueline Bisset. Directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith (BMX Bandits, Leprechaun series).

Rating 3-4 for now. There are probably better movies but could be worse. I will check this the next broadcasting.
