Story 46: Exclusive photo #18: sailor suit boy - goat



This tiny pic showing Adalbert, probably German in Nov 1913 with a goat. It's not my best pic (one of my favourite and most expensive ones and much better ones coming next). The pic has many scratches and I already have tried to remove most of them. Don't know the location, maybe Southern Germany and it looks like a vivarium or zoo. So maybe no slaughtering or milking.

The expression is interesting. What was he thinking about. And who was happier: The goat or the boy. And what was he doing with it and who had taken the picture?

The stockings are not short but most boys had longer stockings to cover the bare knees. The collar is short at front, so I assume a long collar flap, sadly it can't be seen.

3 new entries on my exclusive TOP 5 list and some on my other stat pics. Exclusive #4 almost has 1000 hits yet. And there are new tumblr blogs showing it (but I don't link to WWII and cadaver image blogs). Pic 4 was taken in 1930 (not 30s) and has not much to do with WWII nor cadavers. Not much sailor suit pics on there anyway.

Nicholas Nickleby (2002)



Romance starring Charlie Hunnam, Jamie Bell
-Year: 2002
-Year in film: 1830s
-Country: UK, USA
-Who in clothing: boys, historical clothing
-Who in clothing 2: others, costumes
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, partly TV recording
-Clothing occurence: low
-Rating: 2/10 *
-Rating: **
-Comment: Some poor boys in traditional clothing (pictured), also at least 2 spanking scenes. Of course also grown ups in historical clothing and even 1500s costumes.

I'm not sure if I should add movies without sailor suit and Lederhosen scenes. But I'm running out of (good) movies.  I think I shouldn't add every film with boys in shorts, knickers or else, except if I like them very much or other interesting scenes  and as I have the tag spanking I add this here as well.

I only noticed few scenes with the boys and most scenes are very dark. I also don't like 16 yo Jamie Bell here (nominated for a Young Artist Award). Some quite good historical clothing of grown ups (hats) and women.

Nominated for a Golden Globe and starring Christopher Plummer, Anne Hathaway and even Dame Edna Everage, 132 minutes, rated PG. Novel by Charles Dickens (Oliver Twist". There are also other and much earlier versions of Nicholas Nickleby (even a 1903 version and not to be confused with the 2001 version). I only checked some few parts of a b/w version on YouTube but no sailor suit or other scenes of interest.

Rating 2 for the boy scenes. Please also note my previous post today (announcement of a good Lederhosen movie).

Info 111: On TV week 30/31 2012

Lot of Heimatfilms these days, especially at noon on channel SWR. Often 2 each working day. However I already have most of them.

And next Tuesday, July 31 "Da lacht Tirol" which had been canceled last month and looks very good (probably smooth finish Lederhosen).

http://live01.kino-extra.con-tech.de/edbimages/23/_WF2CZKytkImX01hdhKmss2Gxxg==.jpg

Also showing Isa and Jutta Günther (in dresses). Maybe more actors in lederhosen (men, probably boys ??).

Sorry I don't know/don't remember this Heimatfilm. Originally I searched, If I already had "Wetterleuchten über dem Zillertal (1974)" (I do, rating 2) and found a pic of this film.

Starring a lot of other famous actors like Karin Dor, Hans Moser and Wolfgang Gruner. Story by Karl Heinz Busse ("Mein Schatz ist aus Tirol" (rating 9) "Solange noch die Rosen blüh'n" (rating 6, girl in Lederhosen), "Die Fischerin vom Bodensee" (rating 8), "Übermut im Salzkammergut" (rating 8) and some more good Heimatfilms.

I have to check this musical/comedy/Heimatfilm again and hope for a soon broadcasting.

Rating 2-3 for now (but completely unsure).

Le comte de Monte Cristo (1998)



TV mini series starring Gérard Depardieu
-Year: 1998
-Year in film: ~1830s
-Country: France, D, I
-Who in clothing: boys, sailor suits
-Who in clothing 2: others, hist. clothing
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, partly TV recording
-Clothing occurence: low ?
-Rating: 3/10 ?
-Rating: ***
-Comment: At least 2 very young boys in blue sailor suits and hats playing outside (pictured) and also older boys in quite good historical clothing and non-sailor collars. All pics from ep. 3. Last episode will be aired next Friday.

I didn't expect sailor suits in this series because of it's very early setting of about 1830s. I even didn't expect boy actors at all here. Though I assume also very few scenes of supporting actors. Costumes and series looks very good. English title "The Count of Monte Christo". Also starring Ornella Muti and Jean Rochefort. Famous novel by Alexandre Dumas and I think I don't have to tell more about it.

I will check the last episode and update this later. I don't expect more sailor suit scenes in the first episodes (because of the plot). I also have to check other Monte Christo versions. I only remember watching the 1975 version starring Richard Chamberlain, but haven't seen it recently.

Rating 3 for now due to the young age and few scenes.

Info 110: New art pics



Two postcards of about 1910s. 2 brothers and a sister in pink and orange tinted sailor suits. Also interesting hats. Quite funny "Unsere blauen Jungen" ("Our Blue Boys)", reminds me of the Vienna Boys Choir but is probably patriotic. The last one from Théo Van Rysselberghe: Portrait of Children (1897)

Der Edelweißkönig (1975)



Heimatfilm, novel Ludwig Ganghofer, 2nd remake
-Year: 1975
-Year in film: 1900s ?
-Country: Germany
-Who in clothing: Pepperl ~10 ys , other boys shorts
-Who in clothing 2: men, Lederhosen, altar boys
-Available on DVD: VHS only
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: medium *
-Rating: 3/10 ?
-Rating: ***
-Comment: At least 2 boys barefeet in (longer) shorts with suspenders, maybe buckskin leather, theroef Markus Neumaier as Pepperl, but no real Lederhosen with H-style suspenders known. Also altar boys (white/black clothing) and of course men in Lederhosen with suspenders and Tyrolean hats (pictured).

After the much better 1957 version (rating 8, smooth finish Lederhosen, see that entry), I make this entry for the sake of completion. 60 minutes are on archive.org (described as the 1957 version), but I doubt that this movie is in the Public Domain yet. Starring Robert Hoffmann, Adrian Hoven, Sky Du Mont and Friethjof Vierock. Directed by Alfred Vohrer (Derrick, Winnteou, Der Hexer).

I don't like this version, no good Lederhosen scenes, best are probably the altar boys. However probably a good plot and landscape scenes. I will check this again the next broadcasting.

Rating 2-3 for now.
