Schweigegeld (1979)


Educational film FWU
-Year: 1979
-Year in film: 1970s 
-Country: Germany
-Who in bibs: boys, girl ~12?
-Available on DVD: S8 only ?
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: often
-Rating:  6/10 
-Rating: ******
-Comment: I think 3 boys and one girl in bibs. Most often shown the boy in pic 1 (Tommy ?) (pic near the end) and pic 2 on the left. Mainly with an open jacket, but in class and outside also without (very briefly mainly rear view). One boy called Pit in brown bibs with a zipper, look like snow bibs. Pic 2 on the rear is maybe a girl (brief scene). On pic 3 another boy (brief scene). Several scenes. Also speedo scenes.

Interesting movie. I have some more from FWU on this and my school TV blog. Not sure if this is available in better quality or even on DVD, probably not. For a Super 8 transfer the quality is acceptable. I have to recheck this completely at slow speed. I think also cycling but with a close jacket).

Not on IMDb. English title: Hush Money. 15 minutes. Not sure about the school subject. Probably Social education. Aimed at 8-12 yo. Directed by Raimund Koplin (Munich).

Rating 6-(7).

My French DVD is now in stock and will be shipped soon.

Update: Names are probably wrong. Pit is the boy not in bibs sitting in red. Tommy is an older boy, maybe the blonde boy in pic 2. Sitting in the back is obviously a girl. There are 2 or 3 more boys in bibs. One boy in dark blue bibs on a bike at 6'53. A blond boy sitting in class at 10'32 (headshot, probably same as is pic 3). And a blond boy or girl standing outside at 14'00, white shirt. Cycling confirmed the boy in pic 1 with open jacket including descending the bike.

Image quality for a S8 transfer is good. Audio is very poor.
