Li'l Abner (1959)

 


Musical based on Comic, remake
-Year: 1959
-Year in film: 1930s ?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Lil Abner ~27, man, woman
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium ?
-Rating: 3/10   
-Rating: ***
-Comment: Next to the 19 yo main character, played by ~27 yo Peter Palmer in dark blue bibs with one strap down (pic 2), there's also at least another man in faded (cotton) bibs and a lady in ripped off shortalls or similar, sorry, obviously more likely a dress. 

There's also a 1940 b&w movie and some rarer sequels. I only have checked this briefly without sound. Previously, I found a 1980 college stage play on flickr with 2 young men/older teen boys in bibs by billdarron. Probably there are also other stage plays of interest.

Typical movie of it's kind/time. 

Rating ~2-3 only (for bibs scenes).
