-Clothing occurence: medium
-Rating: 3/10 ?
-Rating: ***
-Comment: Tommy Rettig (as little Ricky) in a festive grey suit with a long collar flap, also he and Gary Gray and others in bathing costumes. Also in breeches, bib overalls, other stage costumes and female night shirts. Also lots of others (grown ups) in hostorical clothing including women with sailor like dresses. But no real sailor suits.

I missed some few minutes at the beginning but rather few good scenes with the kids (mainly the bathing costumes, also sitting on a beach). Also 2 short scenes in simple bib overalls (see my other blog, rating 4).

Quite funny movie but the kids are not too often shown. However good 1900s clothing and props, see also my bedroom blog.

More infos on both my other blogs.

Rating 3-4 for "sailor suits", rating 6-7 for bathing costumes. Movie rating 4-5.

On TV: Melodien der Berge

Maybe of interest. A new episode of Melodien der Berge, this evening on German DasErste.

Probably no kid singers, but I think boys in Lederhosen shown in documentary clips. But there was a brief preview only, so I'm not sure. Definitely men in Lederhosen.

I already have an entry (different episode, rating 4, pictured)

/2012/10/07/melodien-der-berge/

Update: At least 2 boys in Lederhosen. 1 sitting (rating ~3). But no need for another entry. Probably available online on the official broadcasting page.

Info 176: Updates

Some minor updates of my list entry (sailor suit collars).

The last episodes of the series Löwengrube had been aired. Sadly no more Lederhosen scenes. I still have to check the earlier episodes. The 50s were disappointing. But still rating 9. Maybe more for sailor suits.

Sorry , nothing much more of interest.

Probably some are interested in my Long Johns underwear post on my overalls blog. Or Klasse Segel Abenteuer (teen boys, girls) including  swimwear, bibs and bedroom scenes.

On TV: Seid bereit und erste Liebe

Had just been aired on MDR. Rebroadcasting tonight at 05.50 am.

At least one boy sitting in buckskin Lederhosen with suspenders. One boys in smooth finish or more likely nappa Lederhosen. B&w scenes set in 1990 (last East German summer camp) also color scenes and bedroom scenes.

Update: Only 2 notable and brief scenes as pictured. Both are moving images.

Also pioneer scarves, shorts and speedos. Girls in dresses, partly with H-style suspenders.

At least the color scenes were shot in Bad Klosterlausnitz. Also modern 2010 scenes and at least 4 wooden bunk beds.

Rating 4-5 for these Lederhosen.

Story 83: Colorized exclusive #4

I have quickly colorized my famous exclusive 4 pic (Dresden 1931).

The hair is often most difficult. First it was too much yellow, now too much red. But I think it's better than b&w.

 

As previously announced on all my blogs, I now have to take my blogging pause.

Isten hozta örnagy úr

-Who in clothing: girls ~8, 16, sailor dress
-Who in clothing 2: boy scouts, shorts

-Rating: ****
-Comment: 2 girls in blue/white sailor dresses. Blue collar. 4 thin stripes, at least the teen girl (only to see at close up scenes). Also some younger boys in shorts and also boy scouts or similar in historical uniforms and hats. The little girl (pic 2) has a shorter skirt and red ribbons in her hair. These bus stop scenes at the beginning and end.

The same director as in A Pál utcai fiúk (1969)


I checked for other versions of that other movie (there are about 7 movies, including one starring Mario Adorf, some b&w movies and even a very modern docu-like version) but I haven't found any other featuring boys in sailor suits.

This movie is called The Toth Family and I don't like it. 1964 novel by Istvan Örkeny. There is also at least one other, Belgian b&w 1971 movie "De familie Tot", but I haven't found much about that.

Rating 4.

-Comment: At least 3 boys very briefly shown in Lederhosen (one is on the left) and also some more scenes of (older) men. Also grown ups in colorful bib overalls (see my other blog, rating 2). 2 altar boys at the end i nremember in white/pink gowns.

Some few other good scenes like 2 Bavarian boys visiting girls at this Bhagwan community. But I don't like this movie. I missed the beginning.

Rating 2-3 for this brief scene. Could be much better.
