Wilde

Biography, Oscar Wilde
-Year: 1997
-Year in film: ~1890s ?
-Country: UK, D, Japan
-Who in clothing: boys, sailor suits
-Who in clothing 2:
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurrence: low ?
-Rating: 5/10 ?
-Rating: *****
-Comment: At least two young boys in short white sailor suits, white collars. One with a completely white collar and the other with (some) blue stripes, white scarves. And at least another one with a lace collar (pictured below), or is this a girl? I don't know their names.

After checking again different period film blogs I found this one by coincidence. I checked most of the film on YouTube (at high speed) and could only find this short scenes. The two boys are sitting at the water (no close up scene) stand up and walk away. But it's possible that I miss something. There are also other movies about Oscar Wilde which I have to check, too. Plot and setting are of course interesting.

Starring Stephen Fry (as Wilde), Jude Law and Vanessa Redgrave. Nominated for a Golden Globe and a BAFTA Film Award, rated R, aka "Oscar Wilde (1997)".

Rating 4-5 for now due to few sailor suit and probably kid scenes. I prefer blue striped collars, but could be worse.

Gentle Julia (1936)

Drama starring Jane Withers, remake
-Year: 1936
-Year in film: 1916 ?
-Country: USA

-Who in clothing 2: teen boy, unknow clothes
-Available on DVD: no *
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: low ?
-Rating: 3/10 ?
-Rating: ***
-Comment: At least child star Jane Withers (pictured) in a white sailor dress. Dark (blue) collar, 2 stripes and an anchor on the dickey. She also wore navy clothing in later movies like "The Holy Terror" (clip in bad quality on YouTube).

I don't know this movie (62 minutes, sound, 1916 novel by Booth Tarkington), first filmed in 1923 (which I also have to check, but this is a silent film).

The pic is a publicity still / lobby card and I foud this or another pic of her by coincidence during research some time ago and couldn't find any clips nor better pics. Also starring child star Jackie Searl (1921-1991), see also Finn and Hattie (1931), rating 4, but I don't know if here in sailor suit as well, probably not but most likeley in some kind of historical clothing.

I can't say much more about it. I only found some DVD-r offers

Rating 3-4 for now.

Story 45: Exclusive photo #17: Boys Hungary 2 sailor suit 1926

My previous 2 exclusive pics had many hits, so here's another one. It's from a previous lot, same as the other mostly Hungarian pics like Exclusive #3, 6 and 8.

I don't recognize anybody else from earlier pics but believe that they might be Hungarians, too. Note the date format YYYY.MM.DD. 2 boys in sailor suits but sadly without stripes. Definitely not my best one and I wouldn't had bought it separately, but could be worse. The face expressions are quite good, note that nobody is smiling.

Most pics had German notes on the backside probably greetings to German relatives, but this has no notes. At least a precise date.

I can only speculate if the pics belong together or if they were neighbors or whatsoever.

The boy on the left looks first a bit feminine to me with his longer hair and the clothes (bow) but the next moment also masculine.

Next pics will be much better.

Many historic images from New Zealand. The 2 best for me shown (Public Domain/no restrictions known). The best one still might be copyrighted, but I give a link. Also some scouts (sitting, but I don't like this vintage scout uniforms, some shorts, I think also one very young boy with suspenders, but I think no or no good one in Lederhosen. Boys swimming, maybe skinny dipping (but inside the water). Also family and girls, but most kids are younger. Searchable Database. Also good: # 31-67830, 63751 (close-up of pic2), 63349 (full view of pic 1 (breeches), 55944, 55650

Make sure you don't miss my previous entry of today ("Der Edelweißkönig (1957)" and also 1975, Lederhosen, rating 8, soon on TV)

Der Edelweißkönig (1957)

Heimatfilm, novel Ludwig Ganghofer, 1st remake
-Year: 1957
-Year in film: 1900s ?
-Country: Germany
-Who in clothing: Pepperl ~10 ys? , Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2: men, Lederhosen
-Available on DVD: no
-I own: no
-Clothing occurrence: medium ?
-Rating: 8/10 ?
-Rating: ********
-Comment: At least Pepperl Auer in dark brown, smooth finish looking Lederhosen, of course also men in Lederhosen. NOTE The pic is from the 1975 version !

1957 version On TV 19.7. (Heimatkanal) which can't be received for free.

I don't know/don't remember this complete movie. The first 50 minutes of the 1975 version is available at archive.org (but no or no notable Lederhosen scenes of boys, best is pictured, I think shorts only, also note that the boy is bare feet. Rating would be ~3.) Wrongly discribed as the 1957 version and obviosuly much worse. There are also a 1939 and 2011 movie. English title "King of the Edelweiss".

One better pic of the 1957 version is at

http://a2.tvspielfilm.de/itv/2012-07-14/1002858002_600.jpg

Starring Rudolf Lenz, Christiane Hörbiger, Attila Hörbiger and Olga von Togni.

Looks like a very good Heimatfilm, I assume typical good landscape scenes, good clothing including Tyrolean hats and maybe barefeet boys as well. Unlike the 1975 version which is available on VHS, this movie is obviously not available and rare. I hope for a soon broadcasting on free TV and have to update (all versions).

Rating 8 for now.

Deutsche Dynastien , Adelsdynastien in NRW

Doku am Freitag. Different WDR series, 40+ episodes
-Year: 2003-
-Year in film: ~1930s/1950s
-Country: Germany
-Who in clothing: boys ~8, 17, Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2: boy ~11, sailor suit, other clo.
-Available on DVD: no ?
-I own: yes, partly TV recordings
-Clothing occurence: very low
-Rating:  4/10 *
-Rating: ****
-Comment: Some boys in Lederhosen and sailor suit (b&w).

This is a combined entry of series Deutsche Dynastien (partly also "Dynastien in NRW") and the new series "Adelsdynastien in NRW" (I mentioned this before) maybe this series will be integrated in the main series and maybe released on one DVD. In some TV magazines it's just said Doku am Freitag (the same in where "Meine Kindheit..." was shown.)

First "Adelsdynastien in NRW" Episode 1 (2012): Die Grafen Beissel von Gymnich (Satzvey)

One short moving b&w scene of 2 boys picking up potatoes or similar from the ground/field. One maybe 8 ys bending down showing his backside of buckskin Lederhosen. Probably many will like this scene, but it's very short and he's quite young. I think one other scene of an older teen boy/young man in long buckskin Lederhosen walking, but not sure if leather and a very brief scene. Not sure if everyone is aristocratic.

Deutsche Dynastien: ep 30: Die Thyssens (2011). 2 non-moving photos shown. First one good scene of ~5 Thyssen boys in fine historical 1900s clothing, later a family pic with one boy ~11 (I think one generation later) in a good sailor suit. Also some original footage of Germany during WWII/in the 30s (uniforms) but no or no notable scenes there.

I have seen some other episodes but can't remember them and have to check them again. Probably some more few similar scenes in Lederhosen or sailor suits, but this series is not primary about childhoods but about the history of the dynasties.

Sorry, no pics. I decided to not upload pics of these. Probably they are personal films and private pics. The series is also often rebroadcasted.

Rating 4 due to very few interesting scenes (and b&w either), Lederhosen scene 4-5.

Update: Norddeutsche Dynastien: Bahlsen - Ein Keks macht Karriere. At least one good photo of 3 boys wearing sailor suits (no pic here).

Schloss Einstein – episode 716

German TV series about a boarding school, 15+ seasons
-Year: 1998-
-Year in film: ~2012
-Country: Germany
-Who in clothing: Jonny ~13ys, Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2:
-Available on DVD: not yet
-I own: yes, TV recordings
-Clothing occurrence: low *
-Rating:  8/10
-Rating: ********
-Comment: Paul Hartmann (pictured) in longer medium brown buckskin Lederhosen with suspenders (sitting) in ep 716/s15e28).

At the beginning of this episode in a faked talk show, also shown Timmi Trinks as Fynn DeFreeze in the blue shirt. (For Timmi Trinks also see "Sophie - Braut wider Willen" , rating 5). I even didn't remember his name as he is much older now.

Also a better close up view of the Lederhosen (frontside) and at another angle (sideview/backside) but I choose this pic to show the length. Although Paul Hartmann is acting since the beginning of this season he is rarely shown in Lederhosen (see main entry of season 15 (also on my overalls blog) and ep. 709 (rating 7) showing him rehearsing the Schuhplattler dance (alone)).

/2012/05/26/schloss-einstein-episode-709/

Rebroadcasting tomorrow on Kika (as usual). I didn't watch it completely as I was watching and recording something else. I only noticed this short scene and have to check this tomorrow again.

Rating 8 (best in this season yet).

Update: I missed on scene indeed, he is also standing and showing from behind. But this is not as good and a short scene.
