Child Bride of Short Creek


TV drama starring Christopher Atkins
Year: 1981
Year in film: 1953
Country: USA
Who in bibs: boys ~8-17, men
Available on DVD: yes *
I own: no
Bib occurrence: medium
Rating:  7/10 ?
Rating: *******
Comment: Some boys, teen boys and men in bibs, mostly uncredited. Several bibs scenes but mainly short scenes. Perfect farm setting in the Midwest 1950s.

I found this by coincidence and only have checked it at high speed as usual.

Pic 1 blond boy sitting on the ground at 6 minutes (? or at the end), pic 2 older teen boys/young men at 42 minutes, pic 3 at least 3 boys sitting/climbing onto a truck, trailer or similar. Pic 4 dancing in the dust scene at 1h23. One boy probably wearing raw denim bibs but I only noticed this scene from a distance. Similar dancing or celebration scenes also earlier.

Available on VHS and DVD but DVD is a DVDr and should be of poor quality (maybe the same as the YouTube film? but there are different DVD covers). Directed by Robert Michael Lewis, also starring Diane Lane, Helen Hunt and Dee Wallace. Plot is about a fundamentalist mormon FLDS community including polygamy. Based on true events. Novel "Jessica's Story" by Michael Fessier Jr..

I almost could give rating 8 but for now rating 7 only. Obviously few good scenes. Needs to be completetly rechecked hopefully in better quality (who can help?)
