-Comment: 3 or 4 boys and several men in bibs. Some shirtless, most barefoot. I don't know all their names.

Had been aired some days ago. Completetly seen except for some few minutes at the beginning. I wonder how I could miss this one. Probably because there are rather few scenes of the boys.

One white boy shirtless in at least 2 quite good scenes, sitting on books because he's too small (pic 2). Unfortunately bibs only partly shown and scenes often dark lit.

Later 2 black boys (rear view only, brief scene)  and at the very end one black boy cycling in light blue bibs, but very brief scene and in the background only.

Good setting of this famous movie, but somehow I expected a bit more. But at least there are this scenes, better than nothing.

So only rating 3-4 for this one. Is anybody reading my texts anyway?

Good clothing, one boy reminds me of "Honkytonk Man" with brown clothes and a cap. Good scenes of yong girls in dresses. Reminds me of The Sugar Creek Gang movies (which are set in the 50s). Many background actors but surprisingly few kids in bibs.

Also thanks for the recent suggestion of the series "Gogglebox" (teen boy, coming soon).

  1. Another film to check out for a boy in overalls is Karlas kabale or Karla's World from 2007. For most of the film the younger brother wears dark blue overalls.
