Christy (1994 movie)



TV movie pilot starring Kellie Martin
-Year: 1994
-Year in film: 1912
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boys ~8-17, men
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: low+ ?
-Rating:  4/10 ?
-Rating: ****
-Comment: Some different aged boys in blue bibs, including at least one barefooted. At least one younger and one older man in bibs also with one strap down (older man, light blue bibs).

This is the pilot for the 1994-1995 TV series with the same title (rating 6). (Partly) same actors but other and much fewer scenes. Not bad, good setting but few or maybe no perfect scenes. Most bibs are faded except for the young man in pic 2. I only noticed one close up scene (partly rear view) and that from a very young boy in light blue bibs (or maybe hickory striped, near the end of the movie). Perhaps the same boy as in pic 2 on the very right.

The movie is a typical drama / romance. Nothing special. Best scenes inside and outside the school (which has walls in the series). One other scene in the woods (at the beginning). Best scenes near the middle.

For more infos see the series entry and the 2001 movie Christy, Choices of the Heart, Part II: A New Beginning (rating 5).

The 2000 Hallmark film "Christy: The Movie" aka "Christy: Return to Cutter Gap" coming soon (will be rating 5, by now I only have found a trailer).

Rating 4-5.

I also have completely checked Joey (1985). Bibs are tight but boy is overweighted. Rating 4 instead of 5.

Update: 2 more pics. Adding sitting M and shortalls for the cuffed-up bibs.
