Just in Time (1997)
Drama starring Mark Moses
-Year: 1997
-Year in film: 1990s ?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Faith ~20s, Lily ~9 ys
-Available on DVD: VHS only ?
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: medium ?
-Rating: 4/10 *
-Rating: ****
-Comment: I think Rebecca Chambers and Brittany Alyse Smith in blue bibs (pictured), also Smith in shortalls. One pic at

I don't know this complete movie, found it many weeks ago and could finally find a trailer with bibs (not on YouTube). The girl also starred 2 years later in "Treasure at Pirate's Point" (see also that entry, rating 5).
I can't say much more about this movie. Might be a good family movie drama/comedy/romance.
Also starring Jane Sibbett, Steven Eckholdt and Micole Mercurio. Not sure about the age of Chambers. She played a student (looks older to me).
Rating 4-5 for now, but have to check again. Could only find a VHS release.
Golden Palace
TV sitcom sequel to Golden Girls
-Year: 1992-1993
-Year in film: 1990s
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Oliver ~12
-Available on DVD: no *
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: low
-Rating: 4/10 *
-Rating: ****
-Comment: Billy L. Sullivan (pictured) in shortalls, one strap loose and the bib hanging down at one side. Pic from ep. 4 "One Old Lady to Go" and I think also in another episode in green shortalls. But few and short scenes. He is not often shown (only appeared in 8 episodes and in those also rarely) and mostly in other pants (or something wearing over them).
Good actor, but I don't like this series, nor the Golden Girls. I don't like very old annoying women. There are a lot of other sitcoms and comedy series which are better.
This sequel was also not successful. One season with 24 episodes only.
I have seen pics and sold out offers of NTSC RC0 DVDs, but obviously not officially released.
For the few bib scenes, rating 3-4 only.
Thanks again to db1 for submitting pics for the other pairs of bibs, green (from ep. 14). Adding tag Sitting M.

Jack Frost (1998)
Family film starring Michael Keaton
-Year: 1998
-Year in film: 1990s
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Gabby ~35
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, partly TV recording
-Bib occurrence: low
-Rating: 4/10 *
-Rating: ****
-Comment: Kelly Preston in blue bibs (pictured). And lots of teens in probably snow bibs, but not seen the straps so not tagged.
I think this is the last Christmas movie this year. But it's rather a winter, snowman and a very good family movie (rated PG). Also starring 12 yo Joseph Cross as son and main character and 10 yo Andrew Lawrence.
I would give the movie itself a rating of 7, but due to few bib scenes only rating 4-5. As I watched and recorded other movies at Christmas I missed the end but don't assume much more there.
Very good acting of Joseph Cross and funny scenes of his snowman father. Aka "Frost". Not to be confused with the 1997 horror movie.
Adding tag sitting F

The Yearling (1994)
TV family film, remake of 1946
-Year: 1994
-Year in film: 1870s
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boy Jody ~15, men
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: very often
-Rating: 7/10
-Rating: *******
-Comment: 14 or 15 yo Wil Horneff (pictured on left) as 12 yo Jody in worn blue bibs. Also some men (including Peter Strauss as dad).
Probably everyone knows the 1946 classic starring Claude Jarman Jr. as Jody and Gregory Peck (2 Oscars), novel by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.
I think no bibs in that original version and this is a good movie, but I don't like this young actor there.
I'm not sure, if I have seen the remake as well (maybe I even have it somewhere on VHS) but I have to check this again. Very few infos on the web, I wonder why, there is even the 1946 stream showing together with the 1994 poster. Some other website states it was set in the 1930s.
Young Artist Award for Wil Horneff who also starred in "The Sandlot". There is a DVD release, I wonder why there are no clips on the web except for am old promo in bad quality.
I hope for a soon broadcasting. I assumed few or medium bib scenes, as he also wore other clothes. Rating 6-7 for now. Now 7-(8).
Update: Finally completely checked after more than 10 years. Much more scenes than assumed. 2 different pairs. Adding tag sitting M, riding, baggy.

Chiemgauer Volkstheater
Bavarian stage series, still running
-Year: 1992-
-Year in film: 2008
-Country: Germany
-Who in bibs: Lucia 35 ys
-Available on DVD: partly *
-I own: yes, partly TV recording
-Bib occurence: low ?
-Rating: 2/10
-Rating: **
-Comment: Silke Popp as pregnant Lucia in dark blue bibs (pictured) sitting and standing, and an Italian man in snow bibs also men in Lederhosen. Episode "Und des am Heiligen Abend" (2008), translates "And that at Christmas Eve".
Christmas episode that I saw by coincidence. Her baby bump is sometimes more visible (extremely) than in other scenes. Maybe not everyone likes pregnant women.
I like Bavarian culture but don't like this show. So I can't say if other women in bibs in other episodes. Probably no kids or teens in bibs. There are at least 2 DVDs, not sure if this episode is on it. Rating 2 only.
Schloss Einstein - ep. 126 ?
German TV series about a boarding school. 14+ seasons
-Year: 1998-
-Year in film: ~2000 ?
-Country: Germany
-Who in bibs: Atze, Otto
-Available on DVD: no *
-I own: yes, partly TV recordings
-Bib occurence: low
-Rating: 7/10
-Rating: *******
-Comment: I think Raimund Widra as Atze (left) and young Benjamin Neumann as Otto in firefighter bibs. I think also Gregor Czempiel as Wolf and maybe Julian Hanschke as Ingo.
I found this on an old VHS tape (this episode is not on the DVD box).
I think my notes are wrong and that's a rebroadcasting, as Atze (of 1st generation starred only until ep. 126 and Otto first appeared in ep. 126. And the plot fits to ep. 126. So that's ep. 3.10.
Otto some years later also apeared in Lederhosen (see my other blog, rating 8 or tag TV).
I think some boys are members of the boarding school's internal firefighter station. No idea about the plot, so I have to investigate this.
For more infos about this series, also including other firefighter bibs and also boys and girls (teens) in regular bibs, shortalls and coveralls see the main entry (rating 5 as few episodes with bibs) and some other separate episode and story entries.

Story 28: Filling bibs with water
Sorry if you don't like Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, but I had to post this funny pic and story.
This is from the movie "Towed in a Hole (1932)". 21 minutes. b&W, sound.
There are also other famous movies with them in bibs like "The Music Box (1932)" but I like this scenes. Stan took a revenge with a hose at different pressure at Hardy's bottom as he was bending down.
Probably blue raw denim working bibs of these fishermen. Showing in bibs all the time, including sitting in a car.
If you don't like them you could play this with your friend or foe or create or imagine a similar image with other actors.
Growing Pains
Comedy series starring Kirk Cameron, 7 seasons +2 films
-Year: 1985-1992
-Year in film: 1985
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Carol ~15 ys, man, girls, boy
-Available on DVD: partly *
-I own: yes, DVD
-Bib occurrence: low ?
-Rating: 6/10 *
-Rating: ******
-Comment: Tracey Gold in rare shaped bibs/straps and belt in season 1. At least in 2 episodes, pic is from the DVD bloopers hitting 9 yo Ben (Jeremy Miller) coincidentally with an egg. For more, see below.
I like this 1980s family series (especially Jeremy Miller and guest stars like young Leonardo DiCaprio). One of my favourites, I think only "Home Improvement" I like more (see that entry, rating 6, all 3 sons in bibs, I have to watch and update that entry).
Sadly there are only 2 seasons available on DVD. I also have some parts of later episodes on VHS but have not the time to check them right now.
Also starring Alan Thicke and Joanna Kerns. Nominated for 3 Golden Globes. Some Young Artist Awards for Miller and Cameron and nominations for Tracey Gold and DiCaprio. For the bib scenes rating 6 for now.
DVDs:
Season 1. German PAL2 DVD, full screen 4:3, DVD extra "Seaver Family Reunion" (2007) and some unaired scenes. German language only. No subtitles.
Seaosn 2: German Pal2 DVD, 4:3, German, English and Spanish audio, and some more subtitles. No extras at all.
Both good image quality.
Updates: No bib scenes in season 2 except for an old man in ep. 2.21.
One teen girl in green jeans with suspenders, but no reral bibs in ep. 2.13.
in the movie "Growing Pains: Return of the Seavers" (2004) one little black girl (one of the adopted daughters of Mike) in bibs. One short scene.
Season 2 also includes my favourite episode of all seasons (2.16 "My Brother, Myself") with Ben's puberty. And some other good episodes with Ben in different jeans and pajamas. Raw denim jeans I think mainly in ep 2.1, mosty in light blue jeans.
I still need to check season 1 again and the other seasons.
Update: One brief scene of a boy in s2e18.

Back to Hannibal: The Return of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
TV film about grown up Tom & Huck
-Year: 1990
-Year in film: ~1900 ?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Marcus ~10 ?
-Available on DVD: VHS only
-I own: yes, partly TV recording
-Bib occurrence: low ?
-Rating: 5/10 ?
-Rating: *****
-Comment: I'm not completely sure about movie title and actor, but I think this must be Zachary Bennett in this movie (maybe someone can confirm this). I found some scenes on one of my old VHS.
As most Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn movies are without bibs I want to add this as well. I also have other entries of good movies starring Canadian Zachary Bennett, see that entries (so also tagging non-USA)
I don't remember the complete movie, but it could be worse. Maybe one of the most unusual movies of it's kind and mainly with grown up actors.
Also starring Raphael Sbarge as Tom Sawyer, Mitchell Anderson as Huck and Megan Follows ("Anne of Green Gables") as Becky Thatcher.
I have to check this again, but I assume rather few or medium bib scenes. Could only find a VHS release. Rating 5 for now. No trailers.

Temple Grandin
TV biography about autism, Golden Globe
-Year: 2010
-Year in film: 1951,1966,(1975)
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Temple ~7+30 ys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Bib occurence: medium *
-Rating: 4/10 *
-Rating: ****
-Comment: Claire Danes as Temple Grandin (pictured, maybe set in 1966) and Jenna Huges as 4 yo Temple in bibs (pictured below, set in 1951). I also remembered only one old man in bibs. The other ranchers wore regular jeans.
As announced this movie which had been aired on Dec 23, German title "Du gehst nicht allein". Very interesting movie, real plot about the autistic Temple Grandin. Also showing good farm/ranch setting and some interesting scenes like her self built hugging machine and lots of calf nuts at the window of her car. She said that's wastage and she had eaten some before. Many awards incl Emmy for Danes.
I remember some bib scenes mainly or only starting from the middle of the movie. Bibs are quite baggy and also shown from behind, but she is a bit thin and maybe not everyone likes autistic women. And others don't like women at all. Very brief scene of the young girl. Anyway, good movie. Rating 4 for bib scenes.
Info 113: Updates
I saw lots of movies, including
-Dennis the Menace Strikes Again (see Dennis the Menace) boy, rating 3
-Prancer (see Prancer Returns) girl
-Prancer Returns (rating 3) girl
-Home Alone 3 (rating 4) girl
and new movies, entries coming soon.
I updated the old entries but nothing worth talking about these rating 3 and 4 movies often with few bib scenes. I also exchanged one pic of Justin Cooper (Dennis the Menace) in red bibs showing more of them.
I think I will post 2 entries a day and try to make a good alternate mix of both males and females in bibs, so I hope that there will be something of interest for everyone. Sorry, if you don't like one of those entries. The taste is different and I also don't like everything. So stay tuned. You can always suggest movies by commenting. Thanks.

Info 112: Merry Christmas!
I wish all my blog readers and their friends and relatives a
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year (in advance).
I won't post during the next 3 Christmas days. I need some rest, but I try to find, watch and record as many of the movies with bib contents these days.
One of them is "Temple Grandin" (2010), German title which is not on IMDb is "Du gehst nicht allein" on channel arte, today Dec. 23th. At least one woman in bibs.
I searched for a good Christmas pic and I thought of course of The Waltons.
The only Christmas episode I first found was S5-E12 (Germany: episode 11), but probably without bib scenes. Christmas is also not the time wearing bibs, not even in the 1930s and 1940s. They wore most likeley their Sunday clothes.
I found 2 other Christmas episodes, S6-E11 (Germany ep. 12+13 double episode, pictured on top) with some bib scenes, 2 guest kids and Erin wearing a blue sailor dress (for more see my other blog). Elizabeth wore raw denim bibs decorating the christmas tree, also Jim-Bob and granddad. Later Elizabeth decorating the tree in light blue, almost white bibs.
Another Christmas episode is S8-E13 with some new family members, but without bib scenes. First I choose the pic below from S4-E12. Not Christmas but could be. Most or all of the family together, showing Mary-Ellen and Jim-Bob in bibs.
There are Christmas scenes in the pilot and maybe other Waltons films, but I don't know them, nor season 9 yet.
Maybe interesting for all as it shows boys and girls. For more about The Waltons see that entries of each season.
If you can't see pics, please comment. There are some new problems this time with Picasa pics which can't be uploaded and used as usual.
Once again a happy and peaceful Christmas time!

Safety Patrol
Disney comedy TV film starring Leslie Nielsen
-Year: 1998
-Year in film: 1990s
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boys, girl ~11 ys
-Available on DVD: VHS only?
-I own: yes, partly TV recording
-Bib occurrence: low ?
-Rating: 7/10 ?
-Rating: *******
-Comment: At least 3 boys (looks like a triplet), and one girl (pic below) in blue bibs (boys perhaps in shortalls?). Also some boys as safty patrol in orange coveralls.
I found 3 short clips on one of my old backup DVD-Rs. So I've seen this movie 7 years ago and don't remember all scenes. I have to check again, but this is a very good and funny family movie (see also the wedgie scene in the clip).
Also starring Bug Hall, Phillip Van Dyke and 'Weird Al' Yankovic. The boys might be the same as on "Married with Children"
/2011/01/married-with-children.html
Directed by Savage Steve Holland. Film aka "Disney's Safety Patrol" and "Safety Patrol!". Could only find a VHS release but not sure.
Rating 7 for now.
If you can't see pics then that's because of the recent picasa problem. Deleted clip removed. 2024 Update: Some more girls/teen girls also a pic of the coveralls (adding tag teen girls)

Dragonfly (2002)
Drama starring Kevin Costner
-Year: 2002
-Year in film: 2000s ?
-Country: USA, Germany
-Who in bibs: Emily ~44 ys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, partly TV recording
-Bib occurence: low
-Rating: 3/10
-Rating: ***
-Comment: Susanna Thompson (pictured) in blue bibs. Some scenes at the beginning of the film (pic is at 15 minutes). Later also on 2 photographs Costner was looking at.
The plot is quite good and interesting (about near death experiences), but I don't like this movie. It's quite boring most of the time. And few bib scenes. So rating 2-3 only. But could be worse.
Also starring Joe Morton, Kathy Bates, Jacob Smith, Leslie Hope and others.
Directed by Tom Shadyac ("Bruce Almighty"). Rated PG-13.

Johnny and the Bomb
BBC fantasy series, 3 episodes
-Year: 2006
-Year in film: 1970s ?
-Country: UK
-Who in bibs: Kirstie ~14 ?
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium ?
-Rating: 6/10 ?
-Rating: ******
-Comment: A teen girl in blue bibs. A bit small and tight. Bib at lower position. I think this must be Jazmine Franks as Kirstie, friend of 13 yo Johnny and gang member. Reminds me a bit of Kristy McNichol. Also an Indian teen boy in rare Lederhosen (will be next entry on my Lederhosen blog).
I don't know this complete series. Looks pretty weird. Including time travel and soldiers of WWII (1941). Novel by Terry Pratchett ("Discworld") and part 3 of this Johnny Maxwell trilogy.
I have to check this again. Rating 6 for now for the bib scenes. 6-7 for Lederhosen. But there are definitely better series. Won one BAFTA Children's Award and was nominated for an Emmy.
All the Kind Strangers
TV thriller
-Year: 1974
-Year in film: 1970s ?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: John ~18
-Available on DVD: yes + download
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium ?
-Rating: 7/10 ?
-Rating: *******
-Comment: Robby Benson in baggy blue bibs, also shirtless (pictured).
I didn't check the complete movie yet, but looks very good. Also reminds me a bit of The Waltons. 7 orphans, girs boys at different age. And also farm content, he even milked a cow shirtless in bibs. Also other younger boys shirtless, but I don't think in bibs.
Also starring Stacy Keach, Samantha Eggar, John Savage and others.
Aka "Evil in the Swamp". Directed by Burt Kennedy (1922-2001), who also directed some famous Westerns. 73 minutes.
Rating 7 for now. But I will check and update this again soon. Would be much better, if also others in bibs. Benson also sang the title song. Maybe I would also buy it on DVD. But it's even free available at archive.org or on YouTube.

Mildred Pierce (1945)
Drama starring Joan Crawford. 1 Oscar
-Year: 1945
-Year in film: 1930s
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: girl Ray ~10 ys?
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: low ??
-Rating: 4/10 ?
-Rating: ****
-Comment: A young girl in medium colored (probably blue or maybe beige, but I assume blue jeans) bibs. Backside suspenders only. Might be 10 yo Jo Ann Marlowe (1935-1991) as 7 yo Ray.
Novel by James M. Cain. Also starring Jack Carson, Eve Arden and 17 yo sister Ann Blyth.
There is also a 2011 TV miniseries starring Kate Winslet, which I also have to check.
Sorry I didn't have enough time today. I found at least 3 streams with this title which are different movies and noticed it very late. So I will check and update this later.
But I assume rather few scenes of the girl and she is quite young. Not sure if other actors in bibs. One woman (maybe Mildred) wore a white dress similar to a sailor dress. So perhaps I have to add this to my other blog. There are also some boys acting, but probably not in bibs nor sailor suits. I think I won't like most parts of this movie.
Rating 4 for now.

How Stella Got Her Groove Back
Romance starring Whoopi Goldberg
-Year: 1998
-Year in film: 1990s ?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boy ~13 ys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: medium
-Rating: 2/10
-Rating: **
-Comment: A black boy in blue bibs (pictured). I don't know his name, am not sure about his age and also don't know this complete movie (rated R).
Another suggestion. Thanks. I don't have time to watch this complete movie, but probably I wouldn't like it. Might be a funny movie, but I only found this scene and have to check more scenes.
Novel by Terry McMillan, film starring Angela Bassett, Taye Diggs, Michael J. Pagan and others.
Sorry, I can't rate any higher than 2 for now. Maybe there are some other interesting (non-bibs scenes). Like pool scenes.
The 12 Dogs of Christmas
Christmas movie set in the 1930s
-Year: 2005
-Year in film: 1931
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Emma ~14 , boy ~13
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Bib occurrence: medium *
-Rating: 7/10
-Rating: *******
-Comment: Jordan-Claire Green (pictured) as 12 yo Emma in blue bibs (pic on top and bottom right) and a blond boy at school in blue bibs (I don't know his name). Also a lot of brown/grey clothing, mainly shorter pants and/or breeches despite of the winter and caps, including Emma. I remember also at least one man in bibs, but in the background.
Very good Christmas movie, rated G. Perfect setting during the Great Depression and even farm content. I like that. Also good plot and props.
Emma wore bibs quite often and more than thought, mainly in the second half of the movie, unfortunately nearly always with a jacket, so only one good scene without. She looks like a tomboy.
2 scenes of the boy at a stage play, also shown sitting from behind (without jacket), another scene is out of focus.
2 scenes of pulling at her blond pigtails. These are long and at her back.
Also starring Adam Hicks as her friend Mike, Tom Kemp and Susan Wood.
Because of the few good bib scenes "only" rating 7.
Sunday, December 18, 2011
Info 111: Announcement: The 12 Dogs of Christmas
Maybe few bib scenes of a girl and also a boy. Set during the Great Depression.
German title "Einsatz auf vier Pfoten" Rebroadcasting tonight on German Tele 5.
Also good acting of boys and school scenes, incl. pulling at her blond pigtails.
More infos and pics tomorrow.

-Year in film: 1890-1940s
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: "The Girl" ~22 ys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, partly TV recording
-Bib occurence: very low
-Rating: 1/10
-Rating: *
-Comment: I think Rita Tushingham and maybe more women in working bibs. One taller person in the group of women in regular blue jeans bibs and rubber boots. Looks more like a men.
I have watched this movie (200 minutes) except the last 30 minutes. Very famous movie, but I don't know why. I don't like it at all. The only good thing is the music. And very few and short bib scenes. Not even 8 yo Yuri in interesting clothing (neither bibs nor sailor suit).
Also starring Julie Christie, Geraldine Chaplin, Alec Guinness, Rod Steiger and Klaus Kinski. Probably I don't have to tell more about this film. Novel by Boris Pasternak. Maybe the other versions are better?
Sorry, rating 1 for movie, actress and bibs. At least another 1 rating. Maybe someone likes her?

The Attic Door
Neo Western
-Year: 2009
-Year in film: 19th Century
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Darrell ~11, man
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium-
-Rating: 4/10
-Rating: ****
-Comment: Jake Johnson in light brown bibs (pictured). I don't know this complete Independant film. Also starring Kay D'Arcy, Madison Davenport and Tom Fitzpatrick as old Darrell.
Looks very interesting and exciting. Good plot about 2 kids alone in the prairie. I like the setting. Probably family friendly as sold at Christian stores.
But I won't buy this DVD. The boy is very young and I prefer blue jeans bibs.
Rating 4 for now.
Update: Completely checked. Much better than first assumed but fewer scenes as he also wore other Western clothes (other blog rating 5). Also an old man at the end in similar bibs. Rating ~4-5. Also soon on my bedroom blog. Post exists.
Removed deleted clip.

Book 14: Eulalie Osgood Grover: The Overall Boys, etc
The Overall Boys in Switzerland |
As I completed reading my last book "Anna on the Farm" I searched for new overalls book and found also this 2 free books by Eulalie Osgood Grover "Mother Goose".
-The Overall Boys - A First Reader (1905)
-The Overall Boys in Switzerland - A Second Reader (1916)
Both books can be completely read or downloaded at archive.org
http://www.archive.org/details/overallboysinswi00grov
The first book is about 4 young farm boys. Many illustrations, but very short and simple sentences.
The 2nd book is much better, 2 boys visiting Switzerland, also showing other boys and some in Lederhosen.
---
Another (non-children) (Christian) book which might be quite interesting is
-Jean Coleman: I Met Him In My Overalls
It's about a young woman (also partly describing her youth with her dad and sisters) who met Jesus in her dirty overalls. This book seems to be non-fiction and I won't buy it.
So I have to continue searching for other interesting books and read other non-overalls book instead.

-Comment: Teen girl Patty, played by the twins Fritzi and Floriane Eichhorn in blue bibs, bib obviously at lower position and in beige shortalls. Pic and trailer from season 1. (I assume also bibs in later seasons, which might be better)
Not sure if I have seen this series, looks like a typical German family series (but sorry, I don't like this actress, shortalls look better).
Starring Jutta Speidel, Günter Mack, Horst Janson, Ottfried Fischer, Dietmar Schönherr and Elisabeth Lanz.
I have to check this again. For another series with them, see "Sprechstunde bei Dr. Frankenstein", rating 5. There are also links with pics from this series (incl. the shortalls).

-Bib occurence: low ?
-Rating: 4/10
-Rating: ****
-Comment: A young boy (hope he is) with blond curly hair in brown patterned non-jeans bibs (appear beige from a distance, backside suspenders only), and a mother (of his 6 yo girl friend Masha?, played by Lika Kremer), probably Yevgeniya Simonova in rare looking longer skirtalls (or is this just a jeans dress?) Also at least one other girl in blue skirtalls or similar.
As announced the other Soviet movie I found. I haven't checked the complete film yet.
Russian title "Карантин", international title Quarantine (1983). I can't say much more about it and I don't understand Russian. Probably a good and funny family movie. Though kids are very young. I probably won't like this movie. Rating 3-4 for now.
Thanks to check for this DVD I found another very good sailor suit movie. A trailer on YouTube had been deleted. There is only the complete film.
Chto u Senki bylo
Family film
-Year: 1986
-Year in film: 1980s ?
-Country: Soviet Union
-Who in bibs: boy Senka ~7 ys ??
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: low ?
-Rating: 2/10
-Rating: **
-Comment: A young boy in bibs probably cord fabric (pictured). I don't know his name (but assume the main character Aleksei Veselov as Senka).
I checked today some old Soviet movies (mainly for my Lederhosen blog as I'm running out of movies) and could "only" find 2 with overalls and some others with sailor suits (boys and women). I didn't had the time to watch complete movies, I don't like very young actors anyway and I also assume rather few bib scenes.

Angel Eyes (2001)
Romance starring Jennifer Lopez
-Year: 2001
-Year in film: ~2000 ?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Sharon ~31 ys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: very low
-Rating: 2/10
-Rating: **
-Comment: Jennifer Lopez (pictured) in blue bibs. They look a bit too small, not sure if they are baggy.
Yet another one from the "chicks list".
I don't know this complete movie. It's rated R and also starred Jim Caviezel, Jeremy Sisto, Sonia Braga and others.
2 Razzie Award nominations for Lopez for "worst actress". The only winning Award was for the song "Good Morning Beautiful".
Probably I also wouldn't like this movie (romance, violence, thriller). And I assume rather few bib scenes, So rating 5 for now only but have to check.
Thanks for commenting. Very short bib scene. So downgrading from 5 to 2.

Sprechstunde bei Dr. Frankenstein
Germany comedy series, 56 episodes
-Year: 1996-1997
-Year in film: 1990s ?
-Country: Germany
-Who in bibs: 2x Franziska ~16
-Available on DVD: no
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: low ?
-Rating: 5/10
-Rating: *****
-Comment: Franziska (played by twins Fritzi and Floriane Eichhorn) in this German teen sitcom, I think rather a comedy series in dark blue bibs or shortalls.
I think I have even seen this series, but can't remember. Obviously a very rare series. Also in bibs earlier in the series "Alle meine Töchter" (which had been released on DVD, now also here, rating 4) and maybe other films/series. I have to check this and have to make separate entries. There in light blue bibs and beige and dark blue shortalls. Looks quite good, but not sure about the quality of the series. There are probably better ones. Rating 5-6 for now.

Time of the Wolf (2002)
Drama starring Burt Reynolds
-Year: 2002
-Year in film: 1950s ?
-Country: Canada, Germany
-Who in bibs: Aaron ~13 , woman, girl, boy
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: low ?
-Rating: 8/10
-Rating: ********
-Comment: Devin Douglas Drewitz (pictured) in bibs and rubber boots, looks even like raw denim at another scene in the trailer, so maybe 2 different pairs? and a woman (aunt) in blue bibs (open jacket).
I don't know the complete movie but it looks very great. However I assume rather few or medium bib scenes. Also starring Marthe Keller, John Neville and Jason Priestly. Good Canadian movie and nature + animal scenes. Not to be confused with the 2003 movie by Michael Haneke which poster is sometimes shown together with this movie. Aka "Animal Tales: Time of the Wolf". Not sure about the time of setting. Cars and props looks like the 1950s but rural setting. Novel is set in ~1890s.
Drewitz also starred in "MXP: Most Xtreme Primate". I have an entry on my other blog (Story 6: Fake Lederhosen, rating 3, not him in Lederhosen).
I have to check this again completely. Rating even 8 for now.
Update, also another great scene, raw denim walking rear view (distance at school) and also a girl in shortalls bibs, and probably another girl boy in bibs but closed jacket. In the novel he's 11 yo.
Update 2: 2 more brief bibs scenes. And another raw denim regular jeans. Occurrences was low now medium. Avaiablable on several DVD compilations.

Glasskår
Coming-of-age movie from Norway
-Year: 2002
-Year in film: 1950s ??
-Country: Norway
-Who in bibs: girl ~12 ys ?
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: low ??
-Rating: 6/10 ?
-Rating: ******
-Comment: A young girl in blue bibs (pictured). I don't know her name. Very good coming-of-age movie. Main character is Victor, 11 (according to other sources, or book, 13 yo, played by Eirik Evjen, on right).
I have found some short scenes of this film on my hard disc recorder. I only kept the best scenes (kissing scene of them, shortly after this picture while sitting) and other good scenes (ice hockey and peing in the tank of a car. Novel by Harald Rosenløw Eeg, published 1995. Some awards for both novel and film, like a Crystal Bear.
Not sure about the setting time, looks like the 1950s or maybe 70s. Reminds me of other similar perfect Skandinavian movies. Bicycle is shown, but no sure if real cycling scenes. She wears a jacket anyway.
I have to check the movie the next broadcasting. Also for other actors. The film I would rate 8-9, the bib scenes 5-6 for now. No trailers on YouTube. International title: Scars.
I think very brief scene so rather rating ~3-4 for bibs scenes.

The B.R.A.T. Patrol
Disney TV family film starring Sean Astin
-Year: 1986
-Year in film: 1980s
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boy Squeak ~8, teen boy+teen girl
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium-
-Rating: 6/10 ?
-Rating: ******
-Comment: A young boy in blue bibs (pictured). I don't know his name for sure, probably Dustin Berkovitz. Maybe I have even seen it many years ago. Very good movie of the 80s.
Also cycling scenes, not sure if in bibs. Good and funny family movie.
I found this by coincidence as a YouTube recommendation during research but haven't the time yet to check it completely. However the boy is very young, not sure if others in bibs.
Also starring Tim Thomerson, Joe Wright, Dylan Kussman, Jason Presson (Explorers, Gremlin 2) and others. B.R.A.T. means Born raised and trapped.
Rating 6 for now.
Update: also a teen boy and teen girl (cycling) in bibs with a belt

Der kleine Vampir - Neue Abenteuer
German TV series about a vampire boy, 13 episodes
-Year: 1992-1994
-Year in film: ~1992
-Country: Germany
-Who in bibs: Anton ~9 ys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no, partly TV recording
-Bib occurence: low ?*
-Rating: 4/10 ?
-Rating: ****
-Comment: 9 or 10 yo Matthias Ruschke (pictured) as Anton Bohnensack in light blue bibs, I think in the first episode. And ~12 yo little vampire Rüdiger (Jan Steilen) in very good traditional Bavarian Lederhosen which looks even funnier on a vampire (see my other blog, rating 8).
After noticing that some people found my old entry on my Lederhosen blog (via Google image search) I tried if and at what position my pic is. I couldn't find it by just the title search but found the other main character (the friend of the vampire) in bibs which I couldn't remember as I missed the first episodes at the last broadcasting.
Good series (remake of the 1986 UK/German series, novels by Angela Sommer-Bodenburg. However I don't like these light blue bibs and this younger actor. One episode is set on a farm, but I don't know if other actors or other bib scenes. I don't think so. So only rating 4 for now. International title "The Little Vampire (1993)". Won 2 Golden Sparrows.
For more infos see my other blog. Again the blog search (on that blog) doesn't work properly showing no results of "Vampir", I give here the link

Info 110: Updates (boy+girl)
After watching most parts of some East German DEFA films (mainly for my Lederhosen blog), I have updated "Alfons Zitterbacke" (1966 film, pic on top) on both my blogs, no new pics there except for the old one in red skirtalls. Rating here 4 and for Lederhosen now rating 7 instead of 6. (I also upgraded another Lederhosen entry (Aber Vati!) from rating 4 to 9).
I have also updated "Cheaper by the Dozen (1950)", pic below, also on both blogs. Now also color pics on my sailor suit blog (rating 7).

-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Patsy ~8, Patricia ~30
-Available on DVD: no ?
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: low ??
-Rating: 6/10 ?
-Rating: ******
-Comment: Mary Stuart Masterson and Lauren Pratt in blue bibs (or maybe shortalls). Sorry no pics and no bibs in the trailer. One good publicity pic is at
http://images.tvtoday.de/imedia/6419/1966419,ueJW8xIyj8whhQ9yG_VM2Xc4loNSHtqtVSO1bG7IEC14yH5dzGfraQSztuop7g8E2nGELzdyrhtIXcIJJUmZxQ==.jpg
Another Christmas movie (I think the last for now) which I found some time ago. Now there's finally a clip on YouTube, but unfortunately without bibs.
Looks like a good, touching and funny film, probably I've even seen it, but can't remember. Also starring Mark Ruffalo, David Hewlett and Howard Hesseman.
Part of the Lifetime Christmas series but I couldn't find any DVD release. So I hope for a soon broadcasting. Rating 6-7 for now, but probably rather few or medium bib scenes. According to IMDb 120 minutes.
Now
pics. The woman walking in the room with one strap loose and fixing it
(at 40 minutes) and the girl in green/olive bibs at least at the end
(1h19).
