Unknown 24: Spanish movie ? Set 1880s ?



Unknown movie or series Visperas (1987)
–Year: 1990s ? 1987
–Year in film: 1880s ?~1900s
–Country: Spain ? Italy ?
–Who in clothing: boys ~ 11, hist clothes
–Who in clothing 2: night shirt
–Available on DVD: yes ?
–I own: no, partly TV recording
–Clothing occurrence: medium
–Rating:  4/10 ?
–Rating: ****
–Comment: Some few boys and girls in historical 19th century clothes.

I found a short, untitled clip, around 10 minutes on a VHS. Maybe this is even my unknown Italian movie? Most notably a scene with a boy in a short night shirt undressing it and lying partly with his back on the bed. His name sounds like Mikelellio, Michelellio. Michele Elio. Mikkel Elio Mikhel Elio Michael Elliot? Aired between 1992 (and 1994) Kabelkanal (Germany).

Setting is very early, around 1880 (horse carriage, rifle) but not a Western. Origin maybe Spain or Mexico (or Argentina or else) or Italian? Elio is an Italian name. Also Michele.

There's somehow not a real plot. Just a potrait of their lives. Strong lady. Wartime? Rich and poor?

Does anybody know this movie or series?

Update: Found. Series Visperas (1987) set in Andalusia, Spain. 6 ep. Pic from ep 1. I found my recoding and understood some names like Doña Gabriela, by coincidence also the title of ep 1.

Ernesto (1979)

ernesto2ernesto3

Gay drama by Salvatore Samperi
–Year: 1979
–Year in film: 1911
–Country: Italy, Spain, D
–Who in clothing: boy ~ 10 sailor suit
–Who in clothing 2: (teen) girls, sailor dresses
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Clothing occurence: low-
–Rating:  3/10
–Rating: ***
–Comment: One boy in a dark blue sailor suit, blue collar (very brief scene at 11 minutes), a teen girl, probably German Lara Wendel pic 1, who also played a 15 yo twin brother in a rare, light blue sailor suit and matching collar, and some younger girls at the end in sailor-style dresses.

In search for my unknown movie, I found this interesting sounding movie by checking all Italian movies on IMDb. Directed by Salvatore Samperi, who did several movies of this kind, I already have checked ("Malizia", "Nenè (1977)", rating 4 and did other masterpieces like "Cuore di mamma").

Finding some pics that should be in this movie, I was almost sure, I have found my unknown movie. But pics are from other, much later movies like "Conducta" and "Infancia clandestina".

I have seen this movie even completely at regular speed. But it is rather poor. A 17 yo teen boy and an older man in the first half and later the 13 or 14 yo teen girl as 15 yo boy.

Few good sailor suit scenes. (But good plot for these days).

Rating 3 only.

Update: Neues aus Uhlenbusch

neuesausuhlenbusch2

Next to some boys in Lederhosen, also at least this young girl in short and tight Lederhosen with H-style suspenders in ep 21.

I still haven't checked the complete series, yet. Most boys are very young anyway. Interesting series, though.

Also new on my shiny shorts blog (older boys, Adidas rating 6).

And also an update on my bib overalls blog rating now 5 instead of 4 (boys also cycling, girl, woman). Soon on my bedroom blog.

Main entry here, currently rating 3 (probably needs upgrading) at

I also found another unknown Italian or Spanish movie, coming soon.

Unknown 23 French, update unknown 9 Italian



After knowing that the pic derived from a scan of a photo, I have checked onced more parts of my backups and now found the original digital file (pic 1). Date Aug 1999 was correct (for the digital scan), movie broadcast and production probably around 1991 or even earlier back to the 80s. I still haven't found anything else but I still have to check many tapes. At least the image quality is much better now. I have checked several movies (see this list).

I also found these 2 pics of my "greenish French movie" (probably a different movie ?). Snapshots taken in 2003. No clips found yet.

I also found another unknown French movie with a boy in bib overalls (unknown 9 on my overalls blog, maybe someone can help there). Also previously another unknown movie on my shiny shorts blog (unknown 8, white shorts sitting, rating 9). Probably I can find this on my tapes. 2 other unknown movies there have been identified (complete IMDb check and Google search).

Please comment if you know any of the movies or actors or assumptions.

Update: film 23 is the rare TV movie Jean le Bleu (1979). I have uploaded a clip to youtube, linked here.

Marinai senza stelle

marinaisenzastellemarinaisenzastelle3

Drama
–Year: 1948
–Year in film: 1943 ?
–Country: Italy
–Who in clothing: boys ~9-12?, sailor suit
–Who in clothing 2:
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Clothing occurence: medium-
–Rating:  3/10
–Rating: ***
–Comment: Many young boys on a ship, around 100, in long, white sailor suits and white collars, 2 stripes. Plain white dickeys and caps. Some with long collars.

Some interesting scenes, touching the collar (as secret sign), climbing up a pole and one younger boy lost his pants after one loosened his belt (bare rear view).

There are better movies. Although the plot is quite rare for an Italian movie. IMDb rating 8.0. And the image quality at least on YouTube is quite poor. Not sure about the DVDs.

So rating 3-4 only.

Das Sacher. In bester Gesellschaft

sachersacher2

Biography in 2 parts
–Year: 2016
–Year in film: 1890s
–Country: Austria, Germany
–Who in clothing: girl, woman sailor dress
–Who in clothing 2: boys hist. clothes
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: yes, partly TV recording
–Clothing occurence: very low
–Rating:  3/10
–Rating: ***
–Comment: A young girl and a woman in sailor dresses in yesterday's part 1. Some few boys in historical clothes including these 2 barefooted poor boys. Also rich boys in suits but I think not sailor suits and very briefly shown in the streets in the background. Maybe more in part 2 (on Wednesday, set some years later)?

Pic 1 is at 1h02, pic 2 at 1h05.

The woman in a long, medium blue dress including blue collar. The girl in a quite rare medium brown dress with an angled beige collar, 2 stripes and matching dickey. Both brief scenes as well. Kids aren't often shown, except for one poor working girl (not in sailor dress).

The movie itself is often very boring. I don't like at all Josefine Preuß.

Available on the ZDF mediathek.

Rating 3 for now only.

Update: Part 2 is even worse. I haven't noticed any in sailor suits or dresses. But might have missed some scenes. Another young boy in an usual suit.

–Comment: At least one young blonde boy (as German ?) in a green traditional suit including Lederhosen (maybe buckskin or maybe cotton shorts ?) and pointed hat. Several kids including girls of other nations are shown but mainly from a distance. Also on my Western blog (Mexicans and Cowboys, rating 2 as well).

All kids are very young. And very few or only one in Lederhosen.

So rating 1-2 only. For more infos and one more pic of this boy, see my other blog.
