-Comment: One young blond boy in 3 interesting different sailor suits / uniforms. Also 3 young girls, thereof one with a good blue collar (2 stripes). I don't know the name of the kids. All the few interesting scenes at the end of part 1 (set in 1905). I think I missed the beginning. Also other grown up in historical clothig and uniforms, also women in sailor dresses or similar. The rest is rather boring. Also containing real b&w footage (nothing much of interest there).

As announced this entry. Unfortunately only very few good scenes. First the girls, Then the boy in the long (?) light blue suit, then the sitting scene in short light grey shorts and blue jacket and collar, matching grey scarf and finally the short white uniform with a long blue collar (back is briefly shown).

First I considered I higher rating but I don't like the kids either. Directed by Nina Companeez, starring Anouk Grinberg.

Rating 6-7.

Now on TV: Voici venir l'orage...

Happy New Year!

New stats pics on the right.

Exclusive pic#47 sailor suit boy and tiger

A 12 1/2 year old boy in a striped short and tight sailor suit with a faked tiger. 1910s. Name starting with M similar to Maximilian. I haven't read that Suetterlin language for some time and don't have the time for research. There are many old styled names anyway.

Funny pic. First I thought that the tiger is a real-sized paper tiger but probably later added. Typical fashion and flat hat but somehow looks different than other sailor suits.

Long neckline at front (so probably short collar flap on the back). High and striped inside dickey. Boy looks younger to me. Not my favourite pic, but still interesting. As usual high res on picasa (magnifying glass).

-Comment: 2 boys in long blue sailor suits and white sailor's hats. Of course also lot of others in costumes. Uniforms. Also white pants (tights ?)

Had been aired yesterday. Also available online at 3sat mediathek.

Quite interesting (to those who like ballets or man in tights). I have seen most of it at high speed. Rather few scenes of the boys. Some boys in blue (non sailor) uniforms with white pants not sure if tights.

Some others in other clothes / knickers but rather few close up scenes. Nurejew version by Marius Petipa and Lew Konovalova.

Rating 2-3.

Krupp – Eine deutsche Familie - part 2

Also Lederhosen in part 2. As assumed Theo Trebs in longer Lederhosen and I think all of his 3 younger siblings mainy in shorter buckskin Lederhosen with suspenders. Set in 1920 Austria. Also a hunting scene but all rather short. The person on the first entry was a man in Lederhosen on the left. One brief scene with Theo Trebs in the short blue sailor suit, sitting on the floor (mainly front view, rear view is in the dark). Some few scenes of the other little kids in sailor suits but from a distance, also in other clothes. In the middle of the movie the setting turns to the mid 30s with grown-up Alfried (different actor) and nothing of interest there. Last part this evening, but I don't assume much more there (although 30s and 50s, but who knows).

Few scenes of longer Lederhosen and the other kids are very young. Rating 5 for this part. No scenes of interest in part 3.

Update: Krupp – Eine deutsche Familie

 

As announced, part 1 had been aired yesterday. Theo Trebs and his 3 younger siblings (2 girls, 1 boy?) in different, interesting sailor suits. Also an older teen girl and woman as shown in my main entry. It starts in 1901 and also showing uniforms (men) and sometimes swapped to the 1920s. Only short scenes in about the middle of this part. So quite disappointing although quite good sailor suits. Quite long and wide collar and interesting different kids of the siblings (long V neckline of the kid in the other blue sailor suit in the middle. White dickeys without stripes. No Lederhosen yet (not even longer Lederhosen).

It's quite rare to see teen boys in sailor suits. I hope for Lederhosen scenes or other kids. Episode 2 will be aired this evening, maybe even better or more scenes? I will update this later. Rating 6 for now only due to this brief scenes.Could be much better.

Die Igelfreundschaft

Family film. Director Hermann Zschoche
-Year: 1962
-Year in film: 1960s
-Country: East Germany, CSSR
-Who in clothing: boys ~10, Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2: boys shorts
-Available on DVD: no ?

-Clothing occurrence: low *
-Rating:  7/10
-Rating: *******
-Comment: At least 3 boys at school in buckskin Lederhosen with suspenders (near the beginning /18 min. and end). Also many boys in shorts (including the main character) and also (soviet) scarves in blue.

Note sure if the beige shorts of the main character at the beginning are of (buckskin) leather. I don't think so. At least without suspenders. The boys with real Lederhosen are looking much better. Though rather few scenes only.

Many kids dancing outside (mountain landscape) in traditional clothes but not in Lederhosen. Very rare. What else should I say about this movie? Typical but good DEFA movie. 67 minutes. Czech title "Uprchlik" There's a DVD but looks like non-official.

Rating 7-8 for the boy on the left (also sitting, rating 4-5 for the main character). I also want to remind once more to the today's series Krupp - Eine deutsche Famile.
