Comment: One 10 yo boy in dark (blue) bibs. Filmed with a hidden camera. I found this on archive.org searching for overalls (from the Prelinger archives).

Also rear views. Image quality is quite poor. I don't know if it's available in better quality. 40 minutes. Study by German born psychologist Kurt Lewin. Other sources say 1938, 1940s or 1953. But I think this was filmed in 1939 or 1938 (study released in 1939?). The study was from 1938-1940. And maybe filmed other groups as well. He left Iowa University in 1944 and died in 1947. 50s clothes and 1953 are definitely wrong. It's a silent film anyway.

Rather few good scenes, so rating 3-4 only.
