Jockei Monika

Family series, 9 episodes
-Year: 1981
-Year in film: 1980s ?
-Country: East Germany
-Who in clothing: boy ~6, Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2: boy shorts, teen girl overalls?
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: low *
-Rating:  4/10 ?
-Rating: ****
-Comment: At least a very young boy, about 6 yo (pictured on left with the striped shirt) in black smooth finish or most likely nappa Lederhosen with suspenders. Also an older boy in I think dark blue tight cotton shorts (next to him), maybe in brown buckskin Lederhosen as well (without suspenders) and I believe the main character (teen girl Monika) in medium blue bib overalls (soon on my other blog). Scene pictured at about 30 minutes of ep. 1. Some quite handsome boys ~11 yo with longer blond hair and others partly in shorter tight jeans.

Thanks Guillaume for this and the other suggestions. Typical and quite good East German series, but the boy is very young and obviously only some few good scenes. What do you mean with "first part only". Episode 1 or DVD 1 or else? Are there any older boy actors in Lederhosen or other good scenes? Can you confirm bib overalls of the girl?

I don't had the time to check the complete series, but as I said the boy is very young.

So rating 3-4 for now only. A trailer on YouTube, but nothing of interest. Available on DVD 9 ep. à 55 minutes.

Hände hoch oder ich schieße

DEFA comedy film
-Year: 1966
-Year in film: 1960s ?
-Country: East Germany
-Who in clothing: boys ~10-11 ys, Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2:
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurrence: low
-Rating:  6/10 ?
-Rating: ******
-Comment: At least  2 boys in short and tight Lederhosen. (I don't remember their names). At least one appears to be smooth finish or nappa Lederhosen or much patina. I noticed only some few and rather short scenes. Pics at 20 and 50 minutes. There's also at least one sailor in a bar (shown briefly from behind only, so no need for tagging this).

Maybe a quite good detective film, banned and lost for more than 40 years in the former East Germany.

I like smooth finish Lederhosen and probably most will like this movie, but I'm not sure. And it's also b&w. I don't know all the actors, most famous (also in West Germany) are comedians Eberhard Cohrs and Hans Joachim Preil. Also starring Rolf Herricht ("Geschichten übern Gartenzaun")

So rating 6 for now but I have to check this again more carefully at slow speed.

Heidi (1968)

1968 version starring Jennifer Edwards and Maximilian Schell
-Year: 1968
-Year in film: 1880s ?
-Country: USA, Germany
-Who in clothing: Heidi ~ 11 ys, Klara, sailor dress
-Who in clothing 2: Peter longer pants, granddad Lederhosen
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurrence: low *
-Rating:  5/10 *
-Rating: *****
-Comment: I think Jennifer Edwards as Heidi in a (long) white/light blue striped sailor dress, white collar, 2 stripes (I think later in the movie) and goat-herd Peter (played by John Moulder-Brown) in long dark pants with H-style leather suspenders. Not sure if Lederhosen but most likely cotton fabric. Klara in the wheelchair in a medium blue sailor dress, collar with a white edge.

Sorry, I first saw a pic of Peter in medium brown, a bit shorter pants with suspenders, but they are not H-style suspenders. That must be from the 1965 version.

I thought of Heidi and Peter before, but haven't found Peter in real Lederhosen (just granddad). H-Style suspenders are obviously also very rare. I also have seen Heidi und Peter (1955) some time ago but also no real Lederhosen.The 1993 Disney version starring handsome Ben Brazier as Peter is also very good, but no Lederhosen either.

I also have Heidi (1937), rating 4 with 13 yo Klara in a sailor dress.

This 1968 version (aka Heidi kehrt heim) is proabably also very famous in the US because of an interruption of a live airing of an American Football game. Sadly, I don't remember the complete movie and have to check this again later.

The sailor dress is also very good, but probably very short scenes. I also haven't seen the her collar flap.

Rating 5 for now.

Krempoli – Ein Platz für wilde Kinder

Kids’ series, 10 episodes
-Year: 1975
-Year in film: 1974
-Country: Germany
-Who in clothing: Thomas 11, boys, Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2: shorts, overalls
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes
-Clothing occurrence: often
-Rating: 7/10
-Rating: *******
-Comment: Handsome blond Thomas in grey buckskin Lederhosen with H-style suspenders (pictured, also wet scenes) also in longer brown Lederhosen. (Also boys and girls in overalls, see my other blog, rating 7 as well). Also other clothing but mostly longer pants of the 70s and also shirtless scenes. Wolfgang in yellow shorts.

Good and interesting famous German series of the 70s. For more informations see my other blog.

But as I said before, I don't like the 70s. The Lederhosen and the actor are quite good, but I prefer Heimatfilms and shorter haircuts and/or smooth finish Lederhosen.

Rating 6-7 for now, but I have to check the complete series again. Pic from episode 10 but probably this boy in all episodes. Completely on YouTube or DVD. The Intro has no actors at all.

Update: Pic below from ep 4, Often this boys longer Lederhosen appear darker.

Update 2: I now have bought this. Also other boys in short Lederhosen. links fixed

/2016/02/02/update-2-krempoli/

Previously rated 6-7, now rating 7-8.

/2016/02/09/update-3-krempoli/

Update 1 has one more pic (ep 1) missing same as for update 3.  

Update Sept 2023: One other pic of Thomas on my other blog (update 5 there)

Story 52: Exclusive photo #22 sailor suit boy 1930s beach

One blond boy, probably German in a short white sailor suit and other kids, looks like siblings sitting on a beach. 1930s. It looks very cold. One boy in a cord suit and woman (mother or aunt or even grandmother?) in full clothing including hat. Only one shirtless boy with wet hair freezing. Drinking from bottles with a straw. Was daddy taking this pic? Typical and good sailor collar. And they are looking happy. I wonder why the others didn't wear sailor suits.

Die Vorstadtkrokodile (1977)

Kids' film, Golden Camera
-Year: 1977
-Year in film: 1970s
-Country: Germany
-Who in clothing: Frank ~12 ys (?), Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2: shorts
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurrence: often ?
-Rating: 7/10
-Rating: *******
-Comment: At least one member of the gang (of 10-13 year olds) I think Heiner Beeker (pictured), maybe 12 or 13 yo in dark brown short and tight smooth finish or nappa Lederhosen, 2 zippers, no suspenders but worn with a belt. One other in similar tight shorts, but I don't know if Lederhosen or cotton fabric, maybe dark blue cotton shorts.

Probably one of the most famous German kids' adventure movies of the 70s. There is also a modern version and a sequel, but I think I haven't seen those yet but I don't assume Lederhosen in there.

Famous novel by Max von der Grün, also starring Martin Semmelrogge, Wolfgang Sieling, Marie-Luise Marjan and Eberhard Feik.

Probably most of the readers will like this. I prefer Heimatfilms and Lederhosen with suspenders. And I also hate the 70s (also included here other clothing like flared jeans and typical colors yellow and brown). One boy is even played by a girl. Een a peeing scene with him/her. However quite exciting family film. And finally released on DVD. Good atmosphere, tree house, etc. I wonder how could I miss this movie.

Rating 6-7 for Lederhosen scenes. But I wouldn't buy it and wait for the next TV broadcasting.

Poslednyaya vstrecha (1974)

Soviet drama
-Year: 1974
-Year in film: 1940s ?
-Country: Soviet Union
-Who in clothing: boy ~ 9 yo, sailor suit
-Who in clothing 2:
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: very low ?
-Rating: 3/10 ?
-Rating: ***
-Comment: I only noticed one rather short scene of a young boy in a white sailor suit in a b&w flashback scene, probably during WWII. The movie itself is in color. However I don't remember good scenes of either the collar flap or the full length suit. But I only checked some parts at high speed, so it's possible that I missed something.

Russian title "Последняя встреча", English title The Last Meeting. Directed by Boris Buneyev.

I can't say much more about it and I also can't understand Russian. I think there are much better movies.

Rating 3 for now. I haven't found the 1974 version on YouTube.
