Des kleinen Lokführers große Fahrt

DEFA family film
-Year: 1978
-Year in film: 1970s
-Country: East Germany
-Who in bibs: Susanne ~8 ?
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: medium
-Rating:  3/10 ?
-Rating: ***
-Comment: At least this little girl (maybe Franziska Jahn ?)  in blue very short skirtalls (or a jeans dress or similar). Also a young boy in short buckskin Lederhosen without suspenders (not yet on my other blog).

A typical East German children's film of it's time. 64 minutes also showing swimming scenes. Directed by Hans Werner who did many famous TV series.

Maybe I have seen it but can't remember it.

They are no real bibs and the girl is very young.

So for that rating 2-3 for now. But could be worse.

Info 306: Comment from actor

By coincidence I asked myself yesterday if maybe actors would read my blogs and what they think about it. Probably in most cases they want something got deleteted. But yesterday Lukas Machata who appeared in

/2011/08/05/jen-si-tak-trochu-pisknout/

pictured on the left commented on my old blog. Very kind and talked a bit about himself and the movie. Unfortunately he was uncredited, didn't wear overalls and not even remembered the name of the girl.

He is now a graphic designer and musician. Thanks very much!

Virginian Types: Blue Ridge Mountaineers

Silent short. Documentary
-Year: ~1926
-Year in film: ~1926
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium *
-Rating:  5/10 ?
-Rating: *****
-Comment: At least these 3 boys in worn bibs. At least one sitting on a fence next to a girl.

This is a short film (2 minutes) and previously considered lost. It's available on the DVD "Lost and Found: American Treasures From the New Zealand Film Archive" along some other movies including a rare feature film from Hitchcock.

I found this during research for my western blog. And I only have seen some pics and not the complete movie. Produced by Pathé Exchange.

I can't say much more about it. But looks very interesting.

It was (then ?) colorized and hand tinted using stencils. Not sure if this movie is or was copyrighted. The remastered DVD with the new musical score probably is. Maybe the copyright was renewed or bought. The lost or orphan movies were found and I think donated by a collector to the non-profit film preservation project which is part of loc.gov.

The pic is taken from dvdtalk. com. I use Fair Use licence anyway.

Rating 5 for now.

Book 39: Ouida Sebestyen: Far From Home

The best book yet! Many and very good and detailed overalls scenes. It's about a (white ?) 13 yo farm boy called Salty set in 1929 Texas. He has to take care for his great-grandmother since his mom died and moved to a boarding house with the couple Tom, Babe and their son.

Previously I only had "On Fire" from that author on my list (already ordered). That is about a 12 yo boy in 1911. Much more famous is her debut novel "Words By Heart" showing  a black teen girl on the cover (not in bibs but 2 men). Most books are OOP and very rare and expensive outside the US. And without having any details except for some summeries and critics, it was risky.

Even in the first sentence there is an interesting overalls scene. And each day it's getting better and better. One one edition there's a white boy shown in light blue bibs sitting on the stairs of a porch. In the novel (at least at the beginning) they are obviously raw denim bibs. As a non-native English speaker it's a bit hard to read and the plot and setting is a bit unclear and not good described , maybe I read too fast. But the setting and time reminds me of The Waltons (but fewer kids) or To Kill A Mockingbird.

The page details are for British 1990 hardback edition from Cascade. Novel is from 1980. 191 pages.

Page 3: Sleeping in bibs. Going downstairs. Barefoot.

P 5: note from bib pocket

P 12: Wiping his sweaty hands at his bib pocket (reminds me of Jim-Bob Walton)

P 17: Grapped by the straps

P 35: His other pair is washed so he can change after bath. He used a bathtub for the 1st time. Babe  brought him new underwear as she noticed he didn't wear any.

P 36: The new double stiched bibs chaffed but he can stand it the next 2 weeks. He puts the underwear back.

P 37: Babe grapped him and the new bibs crinkled.

P 41, 48 minor interest scenes (bib pocket ?)

p. 53:  Babe puts her hand in his pocket. He was afraid that she would check if he wears underwear. (taking out coins)

--

Update now completety read. Unfortunately nothing much more of interest,

p. 85 pib pocket

p109 being grabbed

p 110 bed in bibs

p 148 redressing into bibs after wearing opera costumes

p 164 dust off bibs (costumes)

p 172 grabbed girl by her straps

The rest of the book was also hard to read and understand. There's a plot but I already forgot most about it. In the 2nd half nothing much about overalls and about the historic setting. Sometimes mentioning that somebody is barefoot. Some dramatic and some violent scenes, a baby is born etc. 4th of July festival at the end. But why an opera stage play? After finishing my other books I might read it again more carefully to fully understand all of it.

 

Some details of wearing no underwear and brand new bibs I mainly read on some non-fiction books.

/2011/06/18/info-51-historic-books-underwear-underneath/

I also have bought and read all 8 of the Danny book series and bought one Rocky and Peggy book. Rocky is a boy and the later Sheriff Ben. No illustrations and no descriptions of bibs yet. The Ralph Moody book I currently paused.

And thanks to 150 followers.

I added the tag book to my latest story entry about one-room schoolhouses as there's a complete book to download.

Back to the Future (1985)

Adventure film starring Michael J. Fox
-Year: 1985
-Year in film: 1955
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Sherman ~10
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: very low ?
-Rating:  4/10
-Rating: ****
-Comment: At least Jason Marin in light blue (appearing in the lights) or maybe stone washed bibs. One strap down. Set in 1955 during a time travel. Looks like farm or rural setting.

The movies had been aired some few weeks ago but I missed them (of course I have seen all of them long time ago but can't remember every scene and actor).

This famous movie is very good and won 1 Oscar. Timeless plot and still interesting. And very good 80s music. Somehow I never have the time to watch it again (like most movies I have seen before).

I only noticed this very brief scene at 33 minutes (even fewer parts as most of it is dark lit). Maybe I have to check it the next broadcasting for more supporting actors. And also the other movies (but he only starred in here).

For this brief scene I only can give rating 3-4 for now. The movie is much better, but I prefer other movies and less action nowadays.

The announced book entry coming next. Even much better than thought.

 

When No One Would Listen

TV drama starring Michele Lee
-Year: 1992
-Year in film: 1990s ?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: woman
-Available on DVD: no *
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: low
-Rating:  2/10
-Rating: **
-Comment: At least this unknown woman, maybe around her late 30s or early 40s (?) in stone washed medium blue bibs. Obviously not Michele Lee as she is darkhaired. It's rather the lady in orange pictured.

Some weeks ago I found this during research. It's completetly on YouTube but I checked it at high speed. Scene is near the beginning. I only noticed this short gardening scene.

Typical drama based on real events. But probably nothing special. Directed by Armand Mastroianni.

Olthough there are some expensive DVD offers, this seems not officially on DVD (according to Lee) or is OOP. The DVD cover might be foreign release or from a VHS or DVDr or a MOD.

What else should I say about this movie?

Rating 1-2 for this older lady. (For the sake of completion). I also don't like those women and non-farm dramas.

Info 304: Sugar Creek Gang actors later - part 2

I think the only one who really continued acting and directing a major movie is Lexi Johnson. Previously, almost 1 year ago I also found Luke Garmon

/2013/12/03/info-258-sugar-creek-gang-actors-later/

Now I found some new pics and facts about some more actors like Levi Bonilla (I think not acting anymore but being a musician), but I searched especially for Kody Brown (Dragonfly), I also found his sister Cassie, who also appeared in the movies (probably also not acting anymore). I'm not sure if there are fans of the Sugar Creek Gang and Kody Brown here. He is my 2nd favourite actor in bibs (next to Kyle Eastwood).

One year ago I searched for him but there are dozens or hundreds of Kody Browns and since a few years also the favourite actor from "Sister Wives". So it's very hard to research.

It was known that the Sugar Creek Gang was filmed in Georgia and that Kody did  stage playing even before. The facebook site of Lexi Johnson also showing some newspaper pics with some more details about age and location of the other actors.

First I found a different guy also called Kody Brown who looks like him, is about the same age and even lives in Georgia. I was sure that it's him and was a bit shocked. He has a much younger sister and an older brother. He has very short hair. But then I think I've found the right one.

I think he played some characters in King Lear in Atlanta (one year ago). I haven't found any pics or clips of that. But there's a clip on YouTube from the official theater (called Thanksgiving 2013). There aren't many Shakespeare theaters in Atlanta (I think just 2). He is now a professional stage player with a BFA degree. The last dinner theater in Marietta was The Vineyard Café (closed now).

I also found some earlier and later plays with him.

No later acting known. He's studying law since 2016

(2016 (Oct) The Bird Cage (dinner theatre in Marietta) Kody? probably not)

2016 (Mar) The Importance of Being Ernest (dinner theatre in Marietta), photo

2015 (Dec) A Christmas Carol (different theater in Atlanta)

2014 (Nov, Dec) A Christmas Carol (different theater in Atlanta)

2014 The Terrible Tragedy of Peter Pan (pictured, Jul, Aug). Pic courtesy of Out of Box Theatre, Marietta. Some more and better pics at high res there.

2013 King Lear (Nov, Dec, Atlanta)

2013 Othello (Oct, Nov, Atlanta)

2013 Much Ado About Nothing (March ?, Atlanta)

2012 The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice (Oklahoma City. Park?)

2012 Christmas Tea With the Queen (Oklahoma) There's one pic showing him in a costume. The only one yet.

- A Midsummer Night's Dream (unknown year, 2012 ? Oklahoma ?)

- Fuddy Meers (Oklahoma ?)

2008 unknown Shakespeare character (Valdosta), also choral works, see Sugar Creek Gang actors later - part 3 with another pic of Kody

2005 Cheaper By the Dozen (unknown if maybe sailor suit or bibs), Acworth

2004 (May) Inherit the Wind (character Howard usually wears bibs, see next entry), Atlanta

2003 (July, Aug) The Wizard of Oz, Acworth

The Peter Pan is an adult PG-13 version. I can't imagine him in a Shakespeare play and would buy it on DVD. I hope to find some pics or clips.

Buena vida (Delivery)

Argentinian drama
-Year: 2004
-Year in film: 1999-2002
-Country: Argentina, F, NL
-Who in bibs: girl ~8?
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: low ?
-Rating:  3/10 ?
-Rating: ***
-Comment: At least this young girl in blue bibs. I'm not sure about her name. Looks like the daughter. Scene at 25 minutes.

English title: Good Life Delivery.

As announced this is the last entry from the missing felix list.

It is completetly on YouTube but I think I only found this brief scene in bibs. She also wears a short red (non jeans) skirt.

Bibs aren't that bad but I think few (good) scenes if any. Probably no complete full body view, just this headshot?

Sorry, I'm quite busy and can't say much more about this.

Rating 3-4.

The Mickey Mouse Club

TV series
-Year: 1955-1959 / 1996
-Year in film: 1955
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: kid ~8 ?
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, DVD
-Bib occurence: very low
-Rating:  2/10
-Rating: **
-Comment: Some younger and a bit older kids skiing in snow bibs at least this kid (unknown if boy or girl, maybe a girl) without jacket so showing the complete snow bibs. I remember some unusual clothes as some skiing in shorts.

I recentlty bought the Disney DVD box The Adventures of Spin and Marty (western blog rating 10, b&w) with many boys and teen boys in tight jeans including perfect scenes of riding, shirtless scenes, pajamas and the like, unfortunatley no bibs. (Also on my bedroom blog, rating 8).

One extra is a complete 1955 episode of  "The Mickey Mouse Club" with it's Newsreel showing this short scene. I remember few seconds only and this is rather for the sake of completion.

As I have very few snow bibs entries and the winter is coming soon and someone asked for snow bibs, I add this.

I have to recheck it at slow speed and can't say anything about other Mickey Mouse Club episodes. I bet there are others in bibs in the studio as well. Not counting other serials inside the MMC or other international MMC which I have to check as well.

11 yo Justin Timblerlake appearing there in blue bibs.

I can't give any rating than 1-2 for now.

Update for MMC and Timberlake:

La boum 2

Romance starring Sophie Marceau
-Year: 1982
-Year in film: ~1982
-Country: France
-Who in bibs: Samantha ~15, woman, toddler
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Bib occurrence: low
-Rating:  3/10
-Rating: ***
-Comment: Alexandra Gonin (pic 1 not Pénélope but her younger sister Samantha, same actress  as the little girl in light blue bibs, 2 years ago) this time in rare medium blue bibs worn with a brown belt and rare straps (rubber ?) and a darkhaired older teen girl or young woman in dark blue bibs and a belt (working bibs, renovating a house).  One brief scene of each. No or no notable rear view or complete body view.

Much fewer scenes than in the first movie (rating 4). Not even Sophie Marceau in bibs. The movie is even much weaker.

At least another rare bibs entry.

Rating 2-3. Movie even less.

Also a toddler boy in blue shortalls in film 2 (and a toddler girl in part 1) but no need for tagging these.
