Story 58: Venice Boys Choir - sailor suit collar

This PD pic showing the Venice Boys' Choir (not to be confused with the Vienna Boys' Choir). There are also some more pics of them at loc.gov, but I choose this pic as it better show their collars from the back. Taken by Harris & Ewing on Jan 20 1938 . Loc gov Harris & Ewing collection #23943v.

Morgens um Sieben ist die Welt noch in Ordnung

Family film
-Year: 1968
-Year in film: 1960s
-Country: Germany
-Who in clothing: boys, Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2: shorts, pajamas
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Clothing occurence: low
-Rating:  3/10
-Rating: ***
-Comment: Some younger boys and one teen boy in Lederhosen, and the main character often in tight shorts.

As announced this movie. 1st pic. About 3 young boys ~7-8 yo in buckskin Lederhosen with H-style suspenders. In fact only this frame and nothing more shown. 2nd pic showing an older teen boy of a gang in (probably) buckskin Lederhosen without suspenders (on right, also shown from behind but short scene in dark light). One short scene with some boys in Lederhosen getting into a 2 CV. One boy is pushed (at his bottom) into the small car. But briefly and partly shown. Could be much better.

Archibald Eser as Gaylord in tight and short light and dark blue shorts and also pajamas. Quite good. But a typical movie and setting of the late 60s looking like the 70s. Famous novel by Eric Malpass, also starring Gerlinde Looker (starring in many Heimatfilms), Rolf Zacher, Peter Arens and Wolfgang Petry. The sequel had been aired today. No Lederhosen in that but shorts as well. Also starring a girl. Quite good plot but I don't like that either. The boy(s) are also very young. Both movies available on 1 DVD.

Rating 2-3 only.

The Rainbow (1989)

Drama, romance by Ken Russell
-Year: 1989
-Year in film: 1900s
-Country: UK, USA
-Who in clothing: boys, sailor suits
-Who in clothing 2: young women, sailor dresses, other cl.
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurrence: low ?
-Rating:  6/10 ?
-Rating: ******
-Comment: At least two young boys in short light blue sailor suits (very long white collars) and some young women/older teen girls in sailor dresses and typical dark blue collars (3 stripes), pictured. Also of course other historical clothing, like a woman with a rare squared collar (squared front and back, see trailer) and kids at school (I think none in sailor suits).

I had many Lederhosen entries the last days, so one sailor suit one. This coming-of-age (female) film looks quite interesting (1915 novel by D. H. Lawrence, novel starting in the 1840s.), starring 24 yo Sammi Davis (as main character Ursula), Paul McGann and Amanda Donohoe. Directed by Ken Russell (1927-2011, "Mahler" (rating 4), "Tommy (1975)" Lady Chatterly (1993 series, also written by Lawrence).

Unfortunately I didn't had the time to watch this movie completely (113 minutes) and hope for a soon broadcasting.

Rating 5-6 for now only (due to the young age of the boys and the old age of the women). I also assume rather few good scenes.

Coming next "Morgens um Sieben ist die Welt noch in Ordnung" (mostly younger boys in Lederhosen, and pajama, rating 3). Tomorrow morning the sequel will be aired.

Wenn die Musik spielt am Wörthersee

Musical / comedy film starring Vivi Bach
-Year: 1962
-Year in film: 1960s
-Country: Germany
-Who in clothing: women, Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2: men, Lederhosen
-Available on DVD: no
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Clothing occurence: very low
-Rating:  2/10
-Rating: **
-Comment: 4 young women, maybe around 20 in grey buckskin Lederhosen (pictured) at a stage play (so rather costumes) dancing with other women (showing front and back). Even wearing Tyrolean hats. Only this one and short scene. I think some men in long Lederhosen as well. One teen boy as a waiter, but no boys in Lederhosen.

Maybe someone likes women in Lederhosen. I noticed it and have the tag women in Lederhosen (very few entries yet), so I publish it here as well. (Also to not watch this movie again by coincidence the next airing).

Famous actors like Claus Biederstaedt, Grethe Weiser and Eddi Arent. Maybe some few Heimatfilm elements (landscape) but this is more a musical and comedy film. I don't like it, though the movie itself is quite funny. I think not released on either DVD nor VHS, no wonder.

So rating 1-2 only. There's a clip on YouTube but no need for embedding it.

Story 57: Exclusive pics #25 Flensburg 1920s school class

This school class pics showing many boys, almost everybody in sailor suits and school caps. Flensburg, St. Nikolai Knabenschule 1924 and 1925 (not sure if the same class and same boys but most likely). I haven't compared them and it's hard because of the caps not showing their hair. The boy on the little pic on the right is probably in the second row on top 3rd from right in 1924. I even have all names of the 1924 class, 5a 5th grade. Typical old German first names (like Otto, Karl and 4x Heinrich) and typical Northern last names (with ...ssen at the end). Flensburg is in Northern Germany and of course sailor suits were typical there. The 1925 pic on top also has a similar cardboard. The pics are in very good condition and I don't had to enhance them much. There is a 3rd pic in this lot (not at class pic but 2 younger boys and lots of grown ups in front of a house, maybe a celebration), but I don't like that and have better pics to come. Most boys look happy and I can't say much more about it.

Das Erbe von Björndal

Heimatfilm starring Brigitte Horney
-Year: 1960

-Country: Austria

-Who in clothing 2: boy uniform, girl collar

-Clothing occurrence: low
-Rating:  3/10

-Comment: One boy and probably some men in longer buckskin Lederhosen (not completely sure if buckskin leather or leather at all, might be cotton ?) Also an interesting uniform (pictured). A girl in a dress (blue skirt) and a lace collar but no real sailor dress.

English title "Heritage of Bjorndal", also starring Maj-Britt Nilsson, novel by Trygve Gulbranssen.

I will update this soon as I currently don't have much time and don't know the name of the actors yet. Maybe Ladislaus Hillinger ? Girl maybe Gertraud Jesserer?

Coming today "Weißer Holunder" currently rating 3, but I haven't seen this movie and only know of men in Lederhosen by now. (Update, Sorry no boys in Lederhosen. Entry updating tomorrow).

/2011/11/27/weiser-holunder/

This also rating 2-3. Some boys and men in (longer) Lederhosen in yesterday's ZDF Fernsehgarten. But no good (Lederhosen scenes) at the Wiesn parade. I think both at the mediathek.
