-Comment: At least 12 or 13 yo Martin Stührk in good smooth finish or Lederhosen with patina and H-style suspenders.

Unfortunately I still haven't seen this movie and found it by coincidence looking for another one. As what I have seen in the trailer this looks very good although he looks a bit thin and much younger. Some funny and even better scenes in the trailer, but I choose this pics instead of just showing his bottom or pics from a distance. Also a shirtless bathtub scene. Medium or more Lederhosen scenes (he also wore other clothes), maybe other actors in Lederhosen or maybe shorts as well?

Novel by Dieter Bongartz, also starring Kai Wiesinger, Katharina Böhm and Erika Marozsán. English title "The Tenth Summer".

I'm not sure about this movie and hope for a soon broadcasting. I think I wouldn't buy it on DVD, but I rate 7-8 for now.

Stührk also starred in "Räuber Hotzenplotz (2006)", see that entry, rating 4. I don't embed the trailer as it's from the official movie company.

Emily's Ghost

Kid's film/supernatural period drama
-Year: 1992
-Year in film: 1840s ?/1990s
-Country: UK
-Who in clothing: Edward ~10 ys? , sailor suit
-Who in clothing 2: others, hist. clothing
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurrence: medium ?
-Rating: 5/10 ?
-Rating: *****
-Comment: At least Tom Beeby ? or James Hobbs as Will, maybe 10 yo or a bit younger, in a short white sailor suit, white long collar with one stripe (pictured) and I think also 3 girls in a similar sailor dresses and other kids and grown-ups in interesting historical clothing including flat and high hats. Also at least two older boys in the past and maybe one in the present time?

I don't know/don't remember this movie. It's probably based on the famous novel by Denise Giardina about Emily Bronte and her sisters (according to the title, the names of the characters etc). Another British CFU production (Children's Film Unit, see also "The Gingerbread House", same director, and the CFF/CFTF movies).

Looks very interesting. There are a lot of other movies and series with a ghost plot but this seems to have more setting in the 1900s or earlier (novel is set in 1840) and good costumes.

I have to check this again. I think this is available on DVD and VHS directly from CFU, maybe on CD-r. 65 minutes. There's also a set of audio cassettes.

Rating 5-6 for now. No clips.

Story 44: Crossdressing (Fakes)

Like on my other blog I made some fake pics and swapped the heads and the clothing. So boys who wear sailor suits now also can wear Lederhosen or vice versa or even both. You also can sometimes better see, if they are really siblings.

Girls in sailor suits looks quite OK, but boys in dresses looks a bit weird. The little brother is now the big sister. And the last one has a twin brother.

I noticed lots of hits on my exclusive pics, so I also made a TOP 5 of these (TOP 6, as I didn't include pic #4 of the backside boys again). Pic is now under the 2 other TOP-5 pics. I linked it to the tag stories as there are most of them. There is no stats with pics like on blogger, so you can't click on a single post as it's just a pic. Earlier pics often have more clicks and a better Google ranking.

Die Försterbuben (1955)

Heimatfilm, novel Peter Rosegger starring Paul Hörbiger
-Year: 1955
-Year in film: 1950s
-Country: Germany
-Who in clothing: boys, men, Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2: altar boys, other hist. clothing
-Available on DVD: no
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Clothing occurence: very low
-Rating: 1/10 *
-Rating: *
-Comment: One very short scene of a boy in light brown longer buckskin Lederhosen (pictured with a brown hat looking down behind the one with the black hat) and some altar boys (red/white clothing). One toddler in longer buckskin Lederhosen and a hat (2nd pic on the right). Some men in different Lederhosen and other historical clothing (black pants and others in white pants and short pants over them, pictured). There is a person at a bowling alley (outside and far in the distance), not sure if this is a teen boy or a men.

Very few Lederhosen scenes (of boys). Some men in typical Lederhosen, also dancing (but no Schuhplattler). The movie is quite good and a typical Heimatfilm and landscape, some songs and some few dramatic scenes but could be much better.

Also starring Hermann Erhardt, Kurt Heintel, Erich Auer and Oskar Sima. I haven't found any DVD nor VHS release. There is a related 1984 sequel which is available on VHS. I have to check this as well (starring Franco Nero and Tilo Prückner), sometimes wrongly dated also as the 1955 version.

For Lederhosen scenes rating 1-2. Movie would be ~5. No clips.

Pink Floyd The Wall

Drama/musical starring Bob Geldorf
-Year: 1982
-Year in film: ~1940s-1960s
-Country: UK
-Who in clothing: boy Pink,  8, 12 yo, knickers
-Who in clothing 2: hist. clothing, sailor
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, DVD
-Clothing occurrence: low
-Rating: 5/10 *
-Rating: *****
-Comment: 12 or 13 yo young Pink (Kevin McKeon, pic 2) and little Pink ~8 (David Bingham, pic 3) in typical British grey knickers (pictured), also boys in historical clothes and hats (pic 1, short scene) and one sailor (brief scene at 1h 03). Also a spanking scene of young Pink at school. Some other boys and teens but nothing more of interest.

Probably everyone knows The Wall, at least some songs "We don't need no education - We don't need no thought control". Not sure if everyone knows this movie as well.

Less than half of this film showing flashback scenes of little and young Pink, the rest showing grown up Pink (Geldorf) and perfect surreal animations by Gerald Scarfe. The film is quite good, the music of course very good, but I rarely watch or listen this DVD. I bought it many years ago (mainly because of the plot, I already had the music before). Lots of WWII related scenes, especially in the animations. Rated R.

No Lederhosen and no sailor suit scenes, except for the sailor. But for the other historical clothing and spanking scene I had to add this here as well. The spanking seems a bit faked. Also a peeping scenes of young Pink.

DVD: I own the 1999 remastered deluxe edition. 5.1 and PCM stereo. Lots of extras, more than 1 hour, including documentaries, interviews, trailer, gallery, the music video and secret buttons.

Rating: Movie: 8, Sound: 8, Extras 10, Animation: 10, Actors: 7, Clothing: 5-6.

Story 43: Exclusive photo #16 sailor suit Lederhosen boys 1920s Hohensyburg

This large photo showing a large group of boys, most in sailor suits, others with similar suits, some in pants with suspenders and at least one in Lederhosen. 1920s. Not stated, but I'm convinced that the location must be Hohensyburg, Dortmund (which looks different nowadays). Maybe more than just one class, but I've seen such big classes elsewhere. I don't think that they travel long distances this times, so they might be from North-Rhine Westphalia. One boy on the front left is marked with an X, maybe the previous owner. Note the scool caps and that most were smiling. Bad times to come.

Not my best pic but could be worse. My last exclusive pic had more than 400 hits yet and the last montage with the long collars even much more than the original pic. Much better pics coming soon.

Die dicke Tilla

DEFA family film
-Year: 1982
-Year in film: 1980s?
-Country: DDR
-Who in clothing: boy Knutschi 12 yo, other boy Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2: girl, overalls
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurrence: often
-Rating: 6/10
-Rating: ******
-Comment: At least 2 boys in smooth finish Lederhosen or most likely nappa leather (pictured). The older boy (Matthias Mantz, on top) is often shown and also cycling in Lederhosen. Rare toothed pockets at the sides. The Lederhosen of the other boy (middle left with glasses) have no suspenders. Also a girl in bib overalls (soon on my other blog).

Currently on YouTube. I haven't seen it completely at slow speed but looks like a quite good, typical DEFA movie. Lederhosen are good and I like smooth finish Lederhosen, but I don't like boys with longer and wild hair. Quite good plot about a strong and fat girl new at school. Famous novel by Rosel Klein. Available on DVD.

Rating 6-7 for now, but I have to recheck this the next broadcasting. No trailers with Lederhosen.
