Winners (1985)


 Drama teen series, 14 ep in 2 seasons
Year: 1985, 1990
Year in film: 1980s
Country: AUS, UK
Who in bibs: girl ~15?  
Available on DVD: VHS only?
I own: no
Bib occurrence: very low?
Rating:  4/10 ? 
Rating: ****
Comment: At least this young teen girl in white or light pink appearing bibs (or shortalls) in 1985 ep Just Friends (s1e2). Very brief scene at 10. Not sure about the actress. It's not main character Sherie Graham (as she's blonde). 

Also a nice kissing scene in a photo booth. Roller skating plot. Some clips on aso.gov of this and other episodes (8 episodes of season 1, season 2 is there called "More Winners", Episode "Second Childhood" obviously missing there). 

I later found the full episode on Youtube.

Interesting series and nice 80s setting and plot. Nicole Kidman starring in s1e1. Other episodes have different plots and actors and are set in 1910 and 1932, 1947, another one in the future.

Rating ~4-5 for the girl (I first considered 5 but for the very brief scene again rating 4), series probably higher. I don't know all episodes. Also used at schools.

Found during hard research. Some episodes and other AUS series I later found on YouTube channel Twisted Lunchbox. I will check some of those. Luckily I already know most of the series. 

Update: The 1st I checked, a girl sitting in bibs in Worst Best Friends (2002) in s1e5 coming soon. And at least a boy in Noah & Saskia (2004) in s1e6.

Futz (1969)

 

Comedy film based on play
Year: 1969
Year in film: 1960s ?
Country: USA
Who in bibs: men, boys  
Available on DVD: yes
I own: no
Bib occurrence: very often *
Rating:  3/10 
Rating: ***
Comment: Some young men (some with tags) in bibs. Many scenes. I think some few boys in bibs as well but briefly shown pic 2 at 9 (at least I haven't noticed others).

Most scenes outside like on a wooden stage. Some good actions and acrobatics, headstands, lying on stage etc. Later also shirtless scenes and wet scenes.

Based on a 1967 play "Futz!" (I haven't found clips of that). Upload says 1968 but original 1967). Some info and photos of that here

Men in bibs is nothing special and I usually don't post movies with just men. But it's quite interesting, many scenes and some few scenes of boys. Now we have the oppisite case. Many scenes but the actors aren't that good or too old.

Rating ~2-3.

Who in bibs: Beatrice ~6 ? , (lady, men)

Comment: A very young girl probably Ace Ryan (Ace Destiny Ryan) as Beatrice/Buzzy in s1e2 (at 8). Also up to 3 or 4 grown-ups (1 lady) in turquoise space suits coveralls in most episodes of season 2. Also mom in an apron.

Very young girl, brief scene, makes rating ~3-(4). However, bibs aren't that bad.

Brand #33: The Waltons - season 5 part 3

 

In s5e18 (disc 6 at 1h24/1h29) there's a boy in beige bibs at the veteran meeting on a graveyard. I previously had 1 or 2 pics in update 5. Full frontal view only from a distance. Another very brief scene between others at 1h24. Obviously 1 button on top of the bib pocket (that is often Dee Cee). Below is a dark spot. Maybe a tag? At that position it should be Headlight/Crown. 

The rear has a typical long diamond many 30s pair had. The removed tag is rectangled (like DubbleWare, Hercules, Super Big Mac and I think N&W). But I now assume the dark spot being another button and also the rear look like the tan carpenter's bibs of Jim-Bob turned out to be Dee Cee.

I think there's one other boy in blue bibs but from a distance. There are some more great rear views of Jim-Bob (low back) and Ben on this disc. Ben I have here. Another one on disc 5 at 10. And a good walking view of Jason front+rear disc 6.

Season 5 has rating 10 (mainly for Jim-Bob) and no real need for rating separate episodes, scenes or actors, as one can't buy single episodes or scenes. But probably the brief scenes would get rating ~4-5. Not that bad but too brief.

Fanta (1981 ad)

 

By coincidence I found this commercial on a 1981 German compilation. A very young boy in hickory striped bibs (also running full view) and a blonde pigtailed girl in dark bibs also sitting and walking thumbs behind bib. Quite many scenes for a commercial. I think Huck Finn plot.

Clip is called Zeitkapsel 1981: Zappen durchs deutsche Fernsehen  - Teil 1 Tagesprogramm (by WaWaWa - Was Wann War). Scene at 13 minutes. (He also has other years and evenings, I mainly checked the 80s).

Rating ~4 (for the girl), rating ~3 for the boy.

Who in bibs: girl Toni ~18 ?  
Available on DVD: no?
I own: no
Bib occurrence: very low
Rating:  4/10 
Rating: ****
Comment: Frida Sittrich (*2003, "Druck") in ripped off bibs/shortalls. High back. Brief scene at 1h02. Also in faded jeans shorts.

Another suggestion from Felix. Thanks very much!

I first had problems finding this movie. But it's on the ardmediathek (channel NDR). Found via Google's regular text search.

Great shortalls and 2 good rear views. So again the problem how to rate good but very few scenes.

I give rating 4-(5). Almost 5. But movie rating 1-2. I don't like movies with Drag Queens. I think not on DVD.

Victoria Wood: As Seen on TV

 

Sketch show, 13 ep
Year: 1985-1987
Year in film: 1980s
Country: UK
Who in bibs: lady, man  
Available on DVD: yes
I own: no
Bib occurrence: very low?
Rating:  2/10 
Rating: **
Comment: At least this man in yellow bibs and lady sitting/kneeing in s1e2. Obviously as kids. Colorful like the 70s. I assume very few and brief scenes.

Rating ~2-(3) for this. I don't know the full series.

Info: Other, funny rating systems

 


Some months ago I bookmarked a wordpress.com blog called MyLiveActionDisneyProject. He has an interesting rating system. US school ratings A+ (97-100%) - F with separate ratings for actors, directors etc on a scale from 0-5. 

The one pictured is from Pete's Dragon (1977) with a surprisingly very poor rating D-. "How many of the actors would I commend" - All of them. So he rate not just the main character. I could use it as how many wore overalls.

"What's the earliest that I would re-watch this film" is also interesting. Funny: Hope that he will retire because of this film. Or be angry at him. In my case no need for rating composers. He has an A-Z index and a ranking. The rating and percentage is explained at "about". He also has polls.

https://myliveactiondisneyproject.com/about/

Other clothing/subject blogs using a 5 star rating system. Most just have a rating about the amount of scenes like chucksconnection. 1-4 shoes (including half shoes). 1 means:  there are some shots, 1.5 View only if you like this genre. Imcdb and starringthecomputer have importance and visibility but no final rating. Others don't have one at all not even the amount like cinemacats. But as said it's too late to change mine.

Felix also commented on my To Kill A Mockingbird play post and gave ratings. The kids in pic 1 would be a perfect cast for Hansel & Gretl. Escpecially the boy. Yes he's great. But skinny as well. I don't like buttoned straps as well. But I mainly focus on boys.

Hillbilly Elegy

Drama by Ron Howard
Year: 2020
Year in film: 1997 ? , other
Country: USA
Who in bibs: Bev ~45 ?  
Available on DVD: yes
I own: no
Bib occurrence: very low
Rating:  3/10

Comment: I think Italian born Amy Adams as main character in stone washed blue shortalls front+rear but very brief scene. Sleeveless shirt. Scenes probably set in 1997. Other scenes set in 1946 and 2011. Nominated for 2 Oscars.

Autobiographical 2016 novel/memoir by J. D. Vance. (Overalls there mentioned once in the German translation, shortalls none, I found no mentions in the English one).

There are some more publicity pics with her. The movie has many supporting actors, maybe some in bibs as well.

I recently found this during research for The Glass Castle (2017) woman, girl rating 2. A similar book.

For the very brief scene rating ~3. Rear view even better. I don't like this movie. Probably the book is better.

Another comment and my answer about my and Felix ratings criteria

Comment: Scottish girl Frankie Corio in faded shortalls. Brief scenes between 14-21 minutes. Oscar nominated. Won several other awards.

Another suggestion from Felix (rating 5). Thanks very much! I agree and give rating 5-6.

Great scene sitting on a motorcycle arcade game (Pop Moto by Belrare, anachronistic 2010 game but setting should be the late 90s) also other angles and demounting at 18. Just to show the shortalls. Next to her sitting a boy (not in bibs). One other very brief scene showing the length of the shortalls when leaving (standing rear view, partial, right half or 2/3) other scenes only partial views not showing the length but not bad either.

I haven't seen the full movie. Also swimwear and other scenes (even underwater). She wore several other clothes including at least 2 Adidas shorts (light grey cotton and black), jeans shorts and a dress. Set in Turkey. 

On IMDb there's a publicity pic of her kneeing in simple beige bibs. Also interesting.
