-Year in film: 1970s
-Country: Denmark
-Who in bibs: teen boy
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, DVD
-Bib occurence: low
-Rating: 2/10 *
-Rating: **
-Comment: One older teen boy, about 17 yo at this boarding school in hickory striped bibs. Legs cuffed up. I only noticed about 2 or 3 rather short scenes. One other sitting at class but behind a table and one standing (while P.E. or similar education).

I even own this DVD for some years but don't like it. Perfect plot (about two young gay teen boys) and some interesting scenes, like shower scenes and underwear scenes, but I don't like the 70s and boys with long hair. A trailer on a similar DVD reminded me of this DVD which I had only seen once.

The main character(s) are much younger and the blond boy (Bo) is handsome. But not in bibs either. Directed by Lasse Nielsen and Ernst Johansen. English title: You Are Not Alone.

DVD: I own the first 2007 "German" PAL DVD (Danish language only, German and English subtitles. Both 1,78:1 and 1,5:1 versions included. The last one has a bad quality and fixed subtitles but you can see a bit more at the upper and lower part of the screen. Some trailers and an image gallery. Maybe there are newer releases and other foreign DVDs. The NTSC DVD should also have just fixed subtitles.

Rating: Plot 10, movie and actors 5-6, bib scenes only 2. However I don't bought it for bib scenes either and probably nobody else would. Quite entertaining. But I think there are better movies. But well done for it's time. They should do a modern remake.
