–Year: 1915
–Year in film: 1890s ?
–Country: Italy
–Who in clothing: boy ~10, sailor suit

–Rating:  3/10
–Rating: ***
–Comment: I think only one boy at school with a sailor collar (2 stripes, also rear view). Also other historical clothes at school (suits/uniforms) and at home including a night shirt.

I first thought this would be Dagli Appennini alle Ande (1916). (I have briefly checked that one, no sailor suits found). Same director (Leopoldo Carlucci) and actor (Ermanno Roveri). IMDb missing both director and author for this movie here.

Very few sailor suit. So rating ~2-3 only.

For several versions of Cuore (rating up to 10) see this post.

I also found the source of Unknown #31. It's not from a Heimatfilm but from a 10 year old photo.

I found this during research for my School TV blog.

There are also Laserdiscs (not sure if for this video as well). Running time ~60 minutes?

I haven't checked the full video. Maybe Lederhosen as well?

I assume very few scenes. As these are mainly travel videos.

So rating ~2-3 for now only.

Horst Lichter - Keine Zeit für Arschlöcher

 


Biography 
–Year: 2022
–Year in film: 1969, 1970, 2010s
–Country: Germany
–Who in clothing: Horst aged 8/9, Lederhosen
–Who in clothing 2: black uniform
–Available on DVD: yes ?
–I own: no
–Clothing occurence: low
–Rating:  2/10
–Rating: **
–Comment: Emilian Heinrich in grey buckskin Lederhosen with H-style suspenders. Around 3 brief scenes, one at 6 minutes (pictured), a bit later kneeing outside, side view and inside sitting (behind a table, headshot) ~20-25 minutes.

Also later in a short black uniform as Edelknabe (sitting on the floor) next to some few other boys (standing). Probably better than the Lederhosen. Also medium blue shorts and other vintage clothes like pajamas (near the end).

Has been aired yesterday. I missed some parts including the 2nd half and only saw the very brief headshot (would be rating 1). Today I've rechecked some parts on the mediathek and found the scenes at the beginning. So rating ~2. I don't like this thin boy.

Most of the movie showing the recent Horst and his mom with few flashback scenes.

I wonder why not the real Horst had played himself.

I like his show and the movie is not that boring but not very good either.

Unknown 31: Unknown Heimatfilm

 


During research for "Rosamunde Pilcher: Vier Luftballons und ein Todesfall" (see my overalls blog, rating 5), I've found this pic on Google Images which is misaligned to this movie. It was originally posted on "Augsburger Allgemeine" online, 2 days ago and is obviously a different part of  a TV programme.

I'm not sure if it's a modern Heimatfilm (image ratio is not fullscreen but rather wide, image quality and colors are good, man and women looks also modern, haircut, glasses) or if it's a classic movie (60s) as the short Lederhosen suggests.

The time could also be wrong. So it might be a Christmas broadcast. The only notable was Sissy (mainly part 1). 

I've also checked the online magazine, but I haven't found it. Most movies there are from ZDF, like the misaligned text. Or could be at BR.

Can anybody help? Maybe I already have this movie. Especially when it's a classic.

Probably it's at the end of the movie, a marriage?

Update: I rechecked it and found it on the newspaper dated 1-1-2022. Pic is not from a movie but 10 year old pic of priest Herbert Kohler from Neuburg.

Weihnachtskonzert aus dem Stephansdom 2021

 


Happy New Year! By coincidence, I've seen some parts of this online.

Probably the Vienna Boys Choir /Wiener Sängerknaben is shown.

I have some earlier posts of them. Please use a blog search.
