Our Gang new restored BD release, The Glorious Forth (1927), Buster's Mix up (1926)

 

There is a new Little Rascal Complete Collection (Centennial Edition) from Classix Flix on 6 or 7 BD and 8 DVD. Very good remastered quality, but not complete, "only" the talkies (1929-) and 3 restored silent films and some extras. For more info see my overalls blog (incl. The Big Show (1923), boys rating 7).

The pic above is from The Glorious Forth (1927) showing Jay R. Smith. Probably it's not on this collection but to be released on a separate silent film release in 2023.

I have some more movies here with him like Dog Heaven (1927) and The Old Wallop. 

But this image quality is perfect. Very detailed (especially the freckles and shirt). Pic is cropped from a YouTube clip (official publisher). I also have some colorized Our Gang movies here (blog search).

On Misschief Makers, which is an abridged Our Gang series (and recent German release) , I posted a boy with a large sailor hat, looking like a girl. But I think that is taken from Buster's Mix up, showing Arthur Trimble. The collar is very large. More pics soon. There's also a boy in overalls, soon on my other blog. Previously rated 4, bib overalls rating ~6-7.

I also found several other b&w movies, coming soon on both blogs.

Main list, rating up to 6

–Rating: ******
–Comment: At least three boys of The Kelly Family in longer Lederhosen, 2 appears of smooth finished or nappa leather.

Happy New Year! This new documentary has been aired on Dec 23th. (S1e1) But probably these scenes are also available on other Kelly Family DVDs.

Rather few and brief scenes here, also walking rear view (of the oldest of the three). These scenes were filmed in 1979.

Very interesting. I have to check later for more and better clips.

Rating ~6 for now.

I previously had a 2011 documentary here, but I don't remember if they contained same or similar scenes.

–Who in clothing: boy ~8? Lederhosen
–Who in clothing 2:
–Available on DVD: no ?

–Clothing occurrence: very low 
–Rating:  3/10 
–Rating: ***
–Comment: At least one young boy sitting in short Lederhosen, side view. Ep 6 Glücks-Sache Lernen: Bildung und Chancen. Should show a small school/home school, 3 pupils, set in ~1900s but was filmed in ~2005. Very brief scene at the beginning. Has been aired this morning. Later shown modern scenes at schools in color.

Due to the brief scene rating ~2-3 only. I don't know the other episodes. But I don't assume more scenes (not even about schools).

Der Räuber Hotzenplotz (2022)

Family film
–Year: 2022
–Year in film: ~1900s ?
–Country: Germany, Suisse
–Who in clothing: Seppel ~12 Lederhosen
–Who in clothing 2:
–Available on DVD: not yet
–I own: no
–Clothing occurrence: often ? 
–Rating:  5/10 ?
–Rating: *****
–Comment: At least Benedikt Jenke in knee length, light brown buckskin Lederhosen with H-style suspenders and pointed hat. By coincidence, I've seen a trailer, new in theaters.

Needs to be rechecked when on TV (in 2023).

Obviously many scenes, including sitting.

Rating ~4-5 for now. 

The previous movie from 2006 is obviously very similar. Just new actors. This Seppel is probably better (but Martin Stührk, Kasperl 2006 was also good but not in Lederhosen). Book author Otfried Preußler died in 2013.

Fleming also starred in s1e2. Helene Joy in a medium blue sailor-style bathing costume (with sailor collar) in s7e7 also several others including kids on a beach.

I saw by coincidence a trailer. Season 3 starting this evening on German's channel One. 

Also other in vintage clothes. Girls at least in dresses with lace collars. Other boys in other episodes including Percy Hynes White, Christian Distefano and Alexander Elliot (probably not in sailor suits).

For now rating ~4-5. I assume few good scenes.
