Mischief Makers (Our Gang silent films) new release

 

During research for better, remastered Our Gang movies, I found this one. After 6 remastered Blu-Rays (of the talkies) with very good image quality, there is a new release, German dubbed.

It's (until now) a set of 2 DVDs called Die kleinen Strolche 2. ZDF Staffel (first aired in 1967). Pictured is this 2nd season (unknown episode, around 1920s).

These are abridged films with removed inter-titles. And this ones have new music, noises and a German narration by Jürgen Scheller (and 2 kids), which were assumed to be lost.

Image quality should be good/same as aired (but don't expect a perfect quality of 100 year old silent movies). There are new remastered releases of the silent films announced.

I have several movies on this and my other blog. Several later films have been colorized.

Main list here, rating up to 6 (and up to 7 on my overalls blog)

Update 2023: I think the pic is from Buster's Mix up (1926) showing the main character (boy Arthur Trimble). More infos here and on my overalls blog soon.

Update: Die Wölfe (2009)

 

I found a stream online and finally can provide better pics of this chubby teen boy in Lederhosen. I haven't found other boys in Lederhosen but at least in shorts. I only have checked this briefly. Movie is rather poor.

Unfortunately few scenes only.

Main entry, rating 5 (rather 4 or less)

–Comment: One boy (not the main character but often shown) in shorts (might be buckskin Lederhosen, but could also be cotton or maybe corduroy), I think a belt and rather strange zipper(s). Either 2 zippers or 1 but not in the middle. Also sitting. 

Also several other boys in similar short shorts. 

Main charater is the younger boy on right, Veselin Prahov.

English title: A Dog in a Drawer. Original title: Куче в чекмедже.

Rating ~4.

Update: Das Haus in Montevideo (1963)

 

This Heinz Rühmann movie set in 1924 has recently been re-aired. Next to almost sailor style clothes with old sailor's caps with a pom-pom, there are also real sailor clothes near the end (pic 1), also some few kids in sailor suits in the background in the middle of the movie. Also 2 sailor men on the ship (white and dark blue suits). The scene of the earlier pic, there's a girl in a blue sailor dress (white lace collar) and a lady in a blue dress with sailor collar.

12 kids, all sleeping in one room (attic). Not sure if I had this on my bedroom blog. But I divided up boys and girls, so around just ~6 brothers.

Rather few good scenes, interesting clothes, but a rather poor Rühmann film. Also nice pigtails including loops. There's a spanking plot but not shown.

Main entry, was rating 5, but rather 3-4

–Who in clothing 2:

–Rating:  4/10
–Rating: ****
–Comment: One boy (Jens-Uwe Paff) in Lederhosen, With and without H-style suspenders. Pic 1 at 4, pic 2 at 59 minutes (with suspenders). Cycling at 4 minutes (without suspenders, with patina, almost smooth finished, very good rear view while cycling at 6). 

Also swimming scenes (in other shorts) at 46.

Character should be 12 yo but looking younger.

I don't like the 70s. The boy is not that handsome, I only noticed these 2 longer scenes.

So rating ~4-5 only.

At least a very young boy in short Lederhosen in episode Was ist los in Knatterstadt?, recently been aired on ORF, available on the mediathek.
