The Greatest Show on Earth (1952)



Family film starring Charlton Heston, 2 Oscars
-Year: 1952
-Year in film: 1950s
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: girl
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: low ?
-Rating:  2/10 *
-Rating: **
-Comment: At least one young girl in black bibs or similar looking pants/dress or shortalls/skirtalls. I don't know her name. Is she maybe a famous child actress? Pic is taken from the trailer.

I found this classic movie some times ago but still haven't checked it completely. I also somehow assumed an even earlier setting (and hoped for sailor suits as well). One girl in the circus audience has a dress with a collar similar to a sailor collar. Yesterday, by coincidence I had a circus movie on my other blog (Feuerwerk (1954), rating 7-8 with boys and some girls in good sailor suits).

I have to check this again the next broadcasting. Usually I like these classic movies, but don't like just circus scenes.

152 minutes, also starring Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde and Dorothy Lamour. Lot of actors (in the background) so maybe some quite good (other) scenes of interest.

Can't rate higher than 2 for now until I have seen other/better scenes/the complete movie.

The Witches of Eastwick (1987)


Fantasy film starring Cher
-Year: 1987
-Year in film: 1980s ?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Alexandra ~40, boys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurrence: low ?
-Rating:  4/10
-Rating: ****
-Comment: At least Cher in light blue bibs (or maybe shortalls ?). Also young boys in bibs.

And yet another one from the "chicks list".

I had problems finding any clips or pics of her in this movie in bibs. Later I found just this pic, it's a headshot only showing at least the color (any other color wouldn't fit to her hair)

http://www.flavorwire.com/192340/the-10-coolest-witches-in-pop-culture?all=1

I think I don't have to tell more about this movie, nominated for 2 Oscars, also starring Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer and Susan Sarandon. Rated R.

Sorry, I don't like Cher at all (except for some few songs). I think I also don't like this move. Haven't seen it for a long time. I assume rather few bib scenes as she also wears something else.

So rating 1-2 only.

Update: Bibs aren't that bad, nice work belt and cycling scenes and also boys. So now rating 4. One more pic of a boy in the update.

Boys at the beginning. Good scenes of Cher at 45 minutes. Adding tag sitting M.

Was heißt hier Oma!



TV family film starring Gaby Dohm
-Year: 2005
-Year in film: 2000s ?
-Country: Germany
-Who in bibs: Nils ~13, others
-Available on DVD: no
-I own: yes, partly TV recording
-Clothing occurrence: medium
-Rating:  6/10
-Rating: ******
-Comment: 13 or 14 or yo Benjamin Seidel (pictured on both pics, 3rd from left on 1st pic) and some other (teen) boys and I think girls as well, also men in firefighter bibs. 2 long scenes with him. First a junior firefighter contest (both pics, he's falling to the ground), a bit later he alone I think in a hay loft saved the life of an older man. Set in Berlin (might be a real firefighter team, except Seidel).

Had been aired 2 days ago. I already had this movie but hesitated to add it as you can't see the straps/suspenders and it also might be, that they aren't real bibs. But I think so. It's also the first feature film with junior firefighters yet (the other 9 entries are TV series, partly reality TV). But I kinda like this family film. He also has/had a soft voice (before voice breaking) and is not too thin. Quite entertaining movie. Also starring a film sister (but not in bibs/firefighter bibs), I think it's Emilie Kundrun ("Hanni & Nanni (2010)").

Also starring Tina Ruland, Florian Fitz, Rüdiger Vogler and Gaby Dohm as grandmother.

Rating 6. Good film/plot/actors, although I don't like kids with longer hair. Obviously not yet on DVD. A short clip on YouTube, but no bib scenes/scenes of the kids.

Next episode of "Die Wollnys" (rating 5, no pics), then only fishing bibs and dad in working bibs, Jeremy-Pascal also in blue working bibs.

Info 168: 7th Heaven ep s3e15/16



First I considered something else for today (boy in firefighter bibs, coming tomorrow). Then I thought that today would start season 4 of 7th Heaven, maybe because of the birth of the twin boys. So, now the pics here, I wouldn't add them to the main season entry anyway.

1st pic showing Lucy cleaning the bathroom in black bibs (dark purple straps, ep. s3e15, also some other scenes with her in black bibs, but no good one from behind, mostly headshots). This scene is typical for angry Lucy and I could also made a story entry of that. The bibs are not as baggy as the previous ones, although she's thin. She also wears tight beige pants. Little Ruthie, I think 8 yo in blue bibs and/or skirtalls. The other pics are from ep 16. One black teen girl in blue bibs (supporting actress, I think I have seen her earlier),

Ruthie in purple bibs (few and short scenes). One teen girl in light blue bibs. 2 more supporting actresses but very brief scenes (one black girl in blue bibs, might be ep 15) and one overweighted older teen girl in dark red bibs.

One younger girl (or boy) in the background even looks like if she wears a sailor collar. But it's probably something else, like a hood. Sometimes the straps of a backback look almost like straps of a bib if the person is not shown completely.

Book 19: Bert Langeberg: Growing Up Poor, etc

I bought this book about 3 weeks ago and have read 118 of the 174 pages. The cover depicting the author (born 1939) in 1944 in bibs, who had German ancestors. The text is copyrighted 2007, but maybe published in 2011. Only 2 very brief mentioning of wearing his worn overalls (young author) and another boy in "coveralls", not sure if real coveralls or a synonym for overalls (yet).

Some quite funny and some interesting farm stories, and some scenes even remind me of "The Waltons" but I don't like this book so far. Just another farm childhood memoir.

And I can't see that he was poor. In contrary, he had enough to eat and obviously much fun. He talked about some accidents he had to face and a bit of the farm life. I know how they slaughtered chicken these days, but why doing this on cats and even birds the same way? He also described too much of world events like politics, space missions and what exactly 4-H is. Maybe some folks in Europe don't know 4-H but it could be said in one sentence.

The book has some tiny b&w pics, but often it's unclear what they show (relatives ?). The pics are uncaptioned and might be unrelated and later PD pics. Some few pics of the family, including one bit more of the cover pic.

The book is available as a very cheap PDF (and other ebook formats) download, but I choose the 5x more expensive book on demand as I don't like reading online.

I also bought "Some Things That Stay" (movie rating 8, main character a teen girl, but also boy and teen boy in bibs) but will read it after that.

I'm also reading "Something Wicked This Way Comes" (Ray Bradbury), movie also rating 8, for more than 5 years (I don't remember any bib scenes yet) but I somehow don't like the novel and read other books in between.

Something British also here:

A girl in light blue bibs in "A Boy Called Woof: Back in the Doghouse". One of my favourite British series. Sadly, no pic yet. I think I have some parts on VHS

Update: The rest of the book is even worse. OK it's his biography. But I expect more farm, childhood (and bib scenes). He also often jumps with the years (some few years back and forth).

Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain



Adventure film starring Anna Chlumsky
-Year: 1995
-Year in film: 1990s ?
-Country: Canada, USA
-Who in bibs: Beth ~14, Kate 39 ys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, partly TV recording
-Clothing occurrence: medium
-Rating:  6/10
-Rating: ******
-Comment: 14 or 15 yo Christina Ricci ("Sleepy Hollow") in blue bibs (also real cycling showing in bibs, also wearing jeans shorts), a woman in simple beige/khaki bibs, maybe Polly Draper, and another teen girl in blue shortalls (pictured below, don't know her name, or is this Polly Draper as well?).

As announced this movie which had been aired recently. I first thought of another movie and thought I already have this.

Quite good family film (rated PG) also starring Kimberley Warnat, Ashley Aston Moore, Brian Kerwin and Diana Scarvid. Young Artist Award for Anna Chlumsky, but I don't like her in here.

I think I missed some parts of it. Some quite good bib scenes, but I think rather few scenes and I somehow don't like this movie. Cycling scenes could also be better.

Rating previously 4-(5). Also new stats pics.

Update: also soaked wet scenes (Ricci) and woman in blue bibs. Now rating at least 5 6

The Pagemaster

pagemaster2

Live action+animation starring Macaulay Culkin
-Year: 1994
-Year in film: 1990s ?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: (teen) girl
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, partly TV recording
-Clothing occurence: very low
-Rating:  3/10
-Rating: ***
-Comment: One (teen) girl cycling in bibs (pictured). Must be Jessica Kirschner (as she is the only girl in the gang). Also starring Alexis Kirschner ("Chucky 3"), written by David Kirschner, probably their father. I think only this very short scene. (Personally I prefer the boy with the bowl cut, sadly not in bibs).

Most of the film are animation scenes, In fact I have never watched it entirely except once, long time ago. Maybe there are some scenes in between or at the end. But I don't expect much more. Famous voice actors like Patrick Steward, Leonard Nimoy and Whoopi Goldberg. Also starring Ed Begley Jr..

I had almost forgotten to add this movie. I don't like Macaulay Culkin but this is a quite good fantasy film for younger kids. There are trailers but not showing bib scenes. One song was nominated for a Grammy. Culkin was nominated for the worst actor (Razzie Award).

Also recently on TV "Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain" (girl and woman, also cycling), coming soon.

Canicule (1984)



Drama / action starring Lee Marvin
-Year: 1984
-Year in film: 1980s ?
-Country: France
-Who in bibs: boy Chim ~16 ys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurrence: low
-Rating:  5/10 ?
-Rating: *****
-Comment: David Bennent (pictured, also in "The Tin Drum"/Die Blechtrommel, see my other blog, rating 4) in blue bibs and a brown belt.

Taken from the dungareemovies blog (thank again Felix!) Btw: The movie is available on DVD in excellent image quality (at least in French and there should also be a German DVD, not sure about other versions and subtitles, no subtitles on the French one; the UK DVD has in deed a bad quality.) Check for the German title, there are some captures (site deleted by still in Google's cache or check ofdb or the film on dailymotion).

Looks quite interesting also farm content, but somehow I don't like this Swiss actor.  I also don't like action films. So I can't rate higher than 4-5 for now until I have seen it completely. I don't have the time to watch it completely, but he's rather thin

Also starring Miou Miou and others, novel by Jean Herman. English title and German DVD title Dog Day.

Update: (Motor) cycling and bib down

Little Heroes 2



Family film w/ dog starring Thomas Garner
-Year: 2000
-Year in film: 2000s ?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: man, women
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Clothing occurence: medium *
-Rating:  3/10
-Rating: ***
-Comment: I noticed 2 women in long bibs, very brief scenes (pictured), not even sure if the blue pants are bibs or regular jeans. Also a man in his 30s (must be Brad Sergi) in quite good blue bibs and often shown (unpictured) and prisoners in orange or red coveralls.

The movie itself is much better than part 3 (see that entry, rating 2 with a woman in tight red shortalls). Also starring 9 yo Camryn Walling (pictured) but not in bibs (but in very good jeans bermudas) and talking dogs. Funny acting and good setting in an amusement park.  I have to check part 1 (1999), not to be confused with Little Heroes (1992), rating 5 with a girl.

For bib scenes rating 2-3. The movie maybe 5.

I also have updated part 3 (full entry and also a better pic showing a bit more of the front of the woman).

Info 168: Update Little Heroes 3



That's the scene of the lady in red shortalls. Just this short scene. Also men (prisoners) in orange coveralls. I also have recored Little Heroes 2 which is much better (also a 9 yo boy but not in bibs, but good jeans bermudas), a man in blue bibs (more scenes) and I think 2 women in bibs, but also very few scenes of women, one is overweighted. More coming tommorow.
