-Comment: Danny Lloyd in dark blue bibs (pictured), his mother Shelley Duvall in beige skirt overalls/shortalls. Yes, I think this is a famous masterpiece of Kubrick/Stephen King/Jack Nicholson (mainly from Kubrick). I recently saw this complete movie again. Everyone knows this film. Me too, but now I focussed on the bib scenes. There are only 2 short scenes with Danny on a tricycle. In the 2nd scene he descends from it before room 237. Some seconds showing complete front and back of his bibs. (Back view is even better). The bibs are much better than remembered before, although he looks young, rather 7ys. and small. I didn't thought that the bibs are of real jeans fabric and good seams. His hair is also too long. I like more the mini series (1997; see this entry here). His mother is showing much more in bibs. I rate this 5, although few bib scenes, mainly because of this good film.
