–Comment: Around 3 boys in blue bibs and one boy in beige bibs. Tom Sawyer and Mormon plot. Almost Western setting. Also older teen boys or young men in aprons as printers.

After finishing the book Soup in the Saddle by Robert Newton Peck, there was an ad for a book series by John D. Fitzgerald. I was curious and searched for it and was surprised that there is even a movie. I have checked it at high speed and there are several scenes throughout the movie. At school I only noticed one light blond boy in raw denim bibs and later in light purple or similar bibs (I haven't found a close up view). Most boys wearing pants with suspenders.

Most scenes are outside. One very interesting scene is a wrestling competition of 2 boys each, both lying on their backs on the ground and obviously have to turn over the other boy with one leg (pic 5 and spectators on pic 1). Also one in bibs but either too close or from a distance.

Riding but I think not in bibs. Also other interesting scenes like 3 boys in one bed (soon on my other blog rating 7).

Directed by Sidney Levin "The River (1984)" rating 6.

This one rating 6-7 for now. Interesting movie but rather few good/perfect scenes. Still need for rechecking as well as the books.
