-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, DVD
-Bib occurrence: medium+
-Rating: 8/10
-Rating: ********
-Comment: Jack Knight as Robert in medium blue bibs (pic 2+last pic), teen Kevin Zegers in dark bibs (image right) and Katie Boland in baggy bibs (pic 1, Carhartt). Also at least one other man. The younger sister in a light grey dress looks like skirtalls. I think this is a very good film and maybe I will buy it and update this entry later. Farm content of the 1950s. Image on the right showing the 2 boys and 3 girls going skinny dipping at a lake. Zegers undressing his bibs (and I think he doesn't wear underpants but this might be usual during hot weather). Nude scenes showing back of a young girl; the young boy holding his hands in front of his privates. Main character is the teen girl (image right, 2nd from left with dark hair, Katie Boland, 14 and 15 yo). Zegers also lying on the ground on his back in bibs. Also Zegers shirtless and 2 good kissing scenes. Novel by Sarah Willis. Perhaps I will also buy this book.

Update: I bought this DVD and like it. Short but very good scenes of Boland wearing baggy bibs from a dead young man. Dressing bibs on is shown. She tries to hide herself in bibs but then worked in the garden in them. I first don't know that she even is wearing bibs in this film. Good teen romance film. But it could be better (more farm scenes and even more bib scenes). I stay rating at 8. DVD (black cover) is RC 0, without subtitles or other languages. 4:3 fullscreen. I think there must be a widescreen version, I have the right image only with a half girl on the left in this frame. No DVD extras except for 2 (non bib) trailers.
