Year in film: 1918 ?, (1970s ?)
Country: USA
Who in bibs: Rufus 5
Available on DVD: yes

Bib occurrence: often
Rating:  3/10
Rating: ***
Comment: By coincidence/during hard research (blogging pause still not over), I found this movie from The Phoenix Learning Group ("Antaeus"/Robbers, Rooftops and Witches, rating 10, top 3). 5 yo main character in hickory striped bibs (or shortalls). There's also an older borther (and sister) but unknown if in bibs.

Even available on DVD (official DVDr), currently on sale for 10$. On Amazon it's GBP £75 +shipping.

I haven't seen the movie, just the cover. No entry on IMDb, so unknown actor. 1943 novel by Eleanor Estes (Newbery Award). Novel set in 1918. Not sure about the setting of the movie.

Rating ~3 for now only (due to his young age). Needs to be rechecked later. Currently no trailer and no pics available. Pic is a snippet from the official DVD cover.

Update: I now have seen this movie. Many scenes. Also on tricycle.
