One-room schoolhouse memories - Illinois State University



Documentary clip, 5 minutes
Year: 2014?
Year in film: 1930s, 40s ?
Country: USA
Who in bibs: boys ~6-13
Available on DVD: no ?
I own: no
Bib occurrence: low-
Rating:  6/10

Comment: As said, I've found several documentaries about the dust bowl and one-room schoolhouses. Most consists of b&w photos, mainly from loc.gov. I already have the best ones (see my blogroll FSA-OWI).

This is a short clip from YouTube by ISUtube1857. Some few, but great pics.

In pic 2 there are almost all boys in bibs, except the 2 oldest ones. Maybe from the 30s.

Pic 1 is maybe a bit later, probably 40s or 50s. I like the boy on the right with the hands in his pockets. At least one more pic (40s/50s) with younger boys in dark bibs.

The intro says "Earliest Educators - Reflections of  one-room schoolhouse teachers".

Story 153: Virtual reality, tour, 360°, video games

locgov2015630838-classroomwaltons-s3e10sit

Next to writing own books and making own movies (which is both not easy, needing new ideas, money and actors), there's another interesting way: virtual reality. It would be great to virtual enter a (populated) one-room schoolhouse or the house of The Waltons.

Yesterday, I searched the web but found not much. First, I though about a Western town but with the term western you find different stuff. I then found a virtual museum about the dust bowl. (Also some good documentaries about dust bowl and more one-room schoolhouses, coming later this day).

There are some virtual one-room schoolhouses like this (street view like)

http://www.sjsu.edu/education/lcoe-alumni-community/lcoe-alumni-board-activities/one-room-schoolhouse/index.html

Another possibility, if you don't have a real location and don't want to use other stuff is a video game editor. Then you can walk and tilt everywhere fluently. Not much work (depending on the detail level).

I found a pic of  "The Waltons - A virtual tour", computer graphics (deleted on YouTube) but this was probably just an empty house. There's also stuff for The Sims and Second Life. And there are also farm video games but most with simple GFX and RPG with farm settings, but I don't know one-room schoolhouses or good characters in bibs.

Empty houses is one thing, but 360° views of people another one. You need actors or if you use scenes from movies, you will get trouble when publishing this. It's also lots of work. The next step would be holographics. Then you only need the smell. Maybe we should wait.

Pic 1 is from loc.gov (#2015630838, not VR), pic 2 from The Waltons, s3e10.

Please also note my previous post, I found during research. I also found the recent one-room schoolhouse post searching for VR.

Grandwish Boys' Brown Bib Overall

I just have found this vid on YouTube (from alissa apel) searching for VR and 360 degree views (see upcoming post).

Nice views, the boy also turning around (rear and side view). Camera often showing the lower parts. Better would be blue bibs.

Update: Days of the One Room Schoolhouse



I now have completely checked this movie and as assumed, I didn't miss much of interest. One young girl in bibs (very brief scene, historical, headshot only) and one boy in hickory striped bibs (brief scene as well, pic 4).

Best of course the boys in raw denim bibs. Unfortunately rather few good scenes. Some few more good historical scenes. One boy seems to have 2 pairs of straps.

/2019/01/03/story-154-2-pairs-of-straps-overalls-days-of-the-one-room-schoolhouse/

I should check more documentaries (and stage plays).

Main entry, still rating 7

Update: Man of the House (1995)

manofthehouse1995emanofthehouse1995f

And another update, previously very tiny pics. Farrah Fawcett and some teen girls in bibs/shortalls.

The image quality of this stream is quite poor and I missed some girls, I previously found at school. But probably, most might be interested in Farrah Fawcett. Sleeveless shirt. Not that bad, but rather few scenes and she was almost 50 back then.

Days of the One Room Schoolhouse

Year: 2008
Year in film: 2000s, ~1930s
Country: USA
Who in bibs: boys ~6-12 ?, girl
Available on DVD: yes
I own: no
Bib occurrence: medium
Rating:  7/10
Rating: *******
Comment: I have just found this very interesting documentary during research. It shows as well modern acting and historical photos and even real b&w footage clips like pic 2. Very nice scenes in front of the school including boys running, partly in raw denim bibs and also fighting and being grapped by the female teacher. And scenes inside (sitting, walking). I only have checked some parts and have to check this completely. But I think, I've already found the best scenes, rating ~7-8 for now. There are only or mainly younger boys. And some few men in bibs.

Produced by WBGU-TV (Ohio), available online on different sites. No entry on IMDb.

Also nice girls in dresses and pigtails (soon on my other blog, rating ~6-7). I wonder, why I haven't found this earlier.

/2017/10/25/list-56-one-room-schoolhouse-and-overalls-in-movies/

Update: Also hickory stripes and a girl.

Update: Bootleggers (1974)

bootleggers3bootleggers4

Some more and slightly better pics of this old entry. Bibs turned out to be hickory striped. Boy in pic 1 (set in 1921) is obviously Chuck Pierce Jr. ("The Legend of Boggy Creek" 1972, 2 years earlier, rating 4, in hickory striped bibs as well). Pic 2 is set in ~1933.

Pics are from the trailer and the movie still needs to be rechecked more carefully.

Main entry, still rating 5 but I assume few (good) scenes

Update: Troll (1986)

troll1986ftroll1986d

And another movie completely rechecked. Several good scenes (including sitting scenes) of Jenny Beck in both tight red and white (or similar bibs). Also being touched by mom.

The light blue pants turned out to be just pants with suspenders. Best scenes at the beginning (mainly in the white bibs).

One more new pic in the main entry, still rating 5

Update: The Natural (1984)

natural1984fnatural1984e

Another old movie checked.

Mainly of interest is the beginning showing the boy practicing Baseball with his dad (in faded bibs).

A bit later, some few other boys from a distance (young and old) and some men.

Nice bibs, maybe a bit baggy, good rear view. Adding tag farm.

Main entry, with 2 better new pics, still rating 5

Update: Alfons Zitterbacke (1966)

alfonszitterbacke1966-n1alfonszitterbacke1966-n2

Has recently been aired, but I only have seen the end. Even better than remembered, especially the end seems better.

The girl Micki previously in a red bibs-like dress or similar, also later in tight, blue bibs, lying and sitting (pics at 55 minutes). Backside simple suspenders only.

The Lederhosen are nice as well, also other boys in smooth finished Lederhosen, updated on my other blog, rating 7. Currently on YouTube and now also available on DVD.

Comment: And another (MGM) Our Gang movie. Again Robert Blake, here around 9 or 10 or in his dark blue bibs. But interesting plot. He fell into a well and got a bit wet. His shirt is partly over his bib. Hay scenes (sitting), the boys even got baled into hay bales with only their heads and feet out. Riding scenes (Froggy, but not in bibs). And a man in bibs.

Also on my bedroom blog, rating 4.

One of the better MGM Our Gang movies. 11 minutes. But I don't like much Robert Blake.

So rating ~4-5 only. Main overview list

Comment: At least this short haired lady, I think Renate Geißler as Karoline in faded, quite tight bibs. Bib at low position with a zipper from waist to top. Several scenes. Also sitting scenes, hand behind the bib and men in bibs.

I found this by coincidence on YouTube. "DDR film".  She looks completely different (better) with the cap on pic 1.

Rating ~3. There are better movies. Not on DVD.

Update: Boule & Bill (2013)

bouleetbill-n1bouleetbill-n2

And another update.

Pic 1 is at the very end of the movie (very brief scene, I had problems finding it). Pic 2 showing the boy in dark red bibs who not only appear at the DVD extras but at 37 minutes. Brief scene as well.

The 2017 sequel is much better.

Short film, 38 minutes and fewer scenes and there's only one younger boy.

Three Smart Guys (Our Gang)

Who in bibs: Mickey ~10
Available on DVD: yes

Clothing occurrence: medium+
Rating:  5/10
Rating: *****
Comment: Robert Blake in dark (blue) bibs including wet scenes after walking out of the lake. His typical bibs. Bib at low position, backside simple suspenders till the butt.

Yesterday, I found most or all of the MGM Our Gang movies on facebook, that were uploaded in 2016. I wonder why I haven't found them before. As said, there is mainly Robert Blake and Leonard Landy in bibs, latter one in light blue ones. No need for making posts of all movies, maybe just the most interesting ones. There are many supporting actors in some movies, some wearing bibs as well but mostly brief scenes from a distance, so no more movies above rating 5.

The swimming in underwear scene in "Fightin' Fools" is also brief and much less interesting than assumed.

I made a mistake about "One of the Smiths". Although a Hal Roach movie and a boy actor from Our Gang, this doesn't belong to the Our Gang series but is just a Charley Chase movie. Still not found any clips online.

More movies coming soon, also on my other blogs. Update: School scene.

Another suggestion. Thanks. Not sure if this was a joke.

Rating 1-2 for now. But could be worse.

Update: Summer of the Monkeys



I have rechecked this movie, and next to handsome Corey Sevier there are some few more boys in front of the school in dark blue bibs (but mainly or only from a distance) and also men in bibs.

Corey's bibs are patched and hickory striped. As usual, this can only be seen in streams with a better image quality and/or close-up scenes. Pic 2 is from the trailer.

Some nice scenes, climbing out of the window and fighting, landing on the ground. Also riding.

Western-like setting although set in 1910. Also in regular jeans and pants with suspenders, soon on my Western blog, rating 6.

I don't like faded nor hickory stripes. Main entry (including the novel) still rating 6
