–Comment: 9 or 10 yo Brandon deWilde shirtless in hickory striped longer shortalls. Also sitting. I think this was the first movie. Brandon deWilde was 7 yo in the 1950 stage play. In the novel the character is 6 yo. The 12 yo tomboy was played by 27 yo Julie Harris.

I haven't seen the full movie. Rating ~4-(5) for now. I don't like much this actor. I prefer the 1982 version in color, rating 7. The 1997 version coming soon.

I found another 2007 stage play (in London SE1, Young Vic) with the tomboy in cuffed up dark blue bibs.
