-Comment: At least 2 young boys wearing blue jeans bibs and straw hats in one longer scene starting at about 20 minutes dancing at a western town train station. Many supporting actors lators and at least one more scene with a little boy (maybe the same 5 yo boy, but not wearing overalls then). 2 young  women in sailor dresses with good long collar flaps (soon on my other blog). Also good cowboy scenes and men wearing chaps (good jeans rear view) for those who like men.

This was a video recommendation on a completetly unrelated 80s movie (Six Pack (1982), I already had, rating 5. Most 80s movie I know, but the first new I found was "The Wild Life (1984)" starring Ilan Mitchell-Smith and also 2 young boys sitting in a café. But probably no bibs scenes there.

This musical won 2 Oscars, starring Gordon MacRae, Shirley Jones and Gloria Grahame. Directed by Fred Zinneman. Rodger & Hammerstein Productions. I have checked most of it and haven't noticed anything more of interest.

The older boy first sitting /hunker down on the left wall (and bobbing with the music but seems bored) and is later also involved in the dancing and being lifted. The younger boy standing in the background first with the older boy and later alone in the middle behind the stage.

Both pics above are enlarged image details as they are too small to be recognized clearly on a tiny pic of this 70 mm movie. Below is a complete frame of that scene.

Quite interesting movie, also containing ranch, western, riding, corn field and indoor stage scenes. I will check it more carefully the next broadcasting.

Due to the few and mainly background scenes of these young boys, rating 3-4 for now only. They might look better here but very few good frames (front + rear view).
