Doc Hollywood



Comedy film starring Michael J. Fox
-Year: 1991
-Year in film: 1990
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boys ~9, girls 7-9, men, women
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, partly TV recording
-Bib occurrence: low
-Rating:  5/10
-Rating: *****
-Comment: A boy fighting on the floor in blue bibs, also a boy in bibs and a girl probably in bibs as well sitting in the background in that scene at 55 minutes (also close-up view, long-haired girl in the middle, it's maybe a dress but more likely bibs), a young pigtailed girl in hickory striped shortalls at 42 minutes (also rear view), several (older) men and women marching at a parade in yellow bibs at 1h02 also a bit later several (farmer) men in blue jeans bibs and one thin old woman (unpictured) and on pic 4 a boy sitting (bibs or pants with suspenders at 52 minutes (but nothing much to see here). Unpictured an old farm man near the beginning and a young boy after the festival (around 1h10) standing and walking in dark blue bibs in the background. All scenes are very short.

I now have also checked the complete movie including the beginning (but at high speed, so it's possible that I missed something).

As announced the scenes in the rural town looks like the 1950s (cars, props, fashion, dresses, haircut, amusement park attractions) but the movie is set in the presence (around 1990). Maybe a vintage party.

The best scene is of course at 55 minutes. But brief scenes only, so rating 4-5.

Typical movie of it's time (romance, comedy film, family film). Also starring Julie Warner, Bridget Fonda and George Hamilton.

Here is a partial list of You Can't Do That On TV episodes with overalls. Will do more when I have time to complete more episodes. Amyas Godfrey wears overalls in episode Fairy Tales, Myths, and Legends from 1986. Scott Sandeman wears overalls in episode Safety First from 1981. Martin Kerr wears overalls in episode Rip Offs from 1982. Kevin Kubusheskie wears overalls in episodes Nutrition from 1981, Sports from 1982, Heroes from 1982, and Television from 1982. Enjoy reviewing these episodes.
