-Comment: As announced in Noon Wine (Steve Sanders, as 14 yo older brother but not in bibs but jeans). How could I miss this great classic? I first haven't found a stream and considered buying it. Several great scenes but mainly of the 2 boys, rating 7, (best near the beginning) so top 5 on my brothers list. Directed by Otto Preminger ("River of No Return"), based on novel (few bibs mentions). 

Scene 1. Young black man (Robert Hooks) very good bibs scenes, walking front at ~9 minutes, later ~3 more scenes but not as good

Scene 2. Starting at 13 (pic 1+4). Boys climbing out of car (front) and hanging/sitting on hands of dad John Phillip Law (later in bibs), one front other rear view (other pic on IMDb), hanging at dad, distance at 16.

Scene 3. Inside at 16-19. One stepping on bench (pic 3), good rear views of both.

(Boys sitting in jeans on car, older brother rear view at 40.)

Scene 4. Playing outside at 58 but distance. Also dad.

Scene 5. One boy, stepping out of car and in shop. Also black man. 1h21. Then boy sitting on car 1h25 (pic 2).

Scene 6. 2 men standing at 1h29. One boy, now the other standing and other men (explosion)

Scene 7. Black boy ~8 yo, and young black man brief scene rear, partial. 1h32 

Scene 8. Brothers outside, distance, quite good rear view. 1h46

Scene 9. Brothers being carried at night, good rear view. 2h10

Scene 10. Dad shirtless and one black girl in bibs (briefly). 2h19. Brothers in pajamas (also shirtless) (previously older brother shirtless 2h11)

Rating 7, although boys are quite young. I would buy it.
