-Rating:  2/10

-Comment: Austrian Hedy Lamarr (pictured, then Hedwig Kiesler, 1914-2000) in rare white or according to the (colorized?) lobby card light blue bibs. I think at backside simple suspenders only.

Thanks for this suggestion! First I had problems finding the bib scenes and first thought this is a bra. Though I noticed only this short scene probably at the lake including the famous controversial skinny dipping scene.

Film is obviously at most parts silent with music, but there are also some spoken dialogues. 95 minutes (uncut). English title "Ecstasy".

Can be found at archive.org (streaming or download).

At least quite unusual, and another rare bibs entry. Sorry, I don't like it.
Rating 1-2 for those bibs.
In "Tortilla Flat" she wore an apron which looks more like bibs.
