The Sun Comes Up

 Lassie film
-Year: 1949
-Year in film: 1912
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: ~7 boys
-Available on DVD: yes*
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: often
-Rating:  7/10
-Rating: *******
-Comment: At least 7 boys ~ 6-16 yo (wearing blue bibs. I have to watch this film completely. I think this is the main actor Claude Jarman Jr. ~14 or 15 years (also in The Yearling, 1946) pictured with Lassie. This is not the first Lassie film and perhaps not the best. More famous are the Lassies TV series. But there are worse films.
Updates: I think few scenes of the other boys. I don't like this younger actor in The Yearling but he's much older now. Perhaps not so bad. Rating 7 instead of 5 now, but have to check completely. Seems to be released not only on VHS but also later on DVDr as mod (according to rottentomatoes, but is probably wrong). I think not officially on DVD. I would buy it.

Update: Now I have seen the first half of this movie. Much more boys than originally thought (about 7 instead of 4). Very handsome actor, although quite long hair (for that time). The bibs are rather tight (and the boy is thin).  Some very good scenes but the bibs are worn and of simple jeans fabric. Looks like a typical farmer boy. Due to the car the setting is not in 1912 as originally thought. First bibs scenes at 21 minutes.

I don't like too tight bibs and prefer raw denim bibs with a back bib. The last rating of 7-8 is correct.
