–Comment: At least this blonde girl, maybe 11 yo Elisabeth (I haven't found other girls in the descriptions) in longer white/red striped shortalls. Different kids in different episdes. Obviously mainly boys shown (not in bibs). Unknown episode 4, unknown actress name as uncredited on IMDb.
Sorry, no better pics. Pic from the trailer. 5x60 or 10x30 minutes.
Also soon on my bedroom blog.
Rating ~4-5 for now. Needs to be rechecked later. Probably a quite good series, but I assume few scenes. Update: Series found. And better pic uploaded (this one).

–Country: USA

–Available on DVD: yes

–Rating: 5/10
–Rating: *****
–Comment: Alfalfa (pic 1) mainly on stage in dark bibs, hanging low, bib at low position and a straw hat (also outside without it) like a Hillbilly. Pic 2 showing Billy Mindy 5 or 6 yo in dark bibs also headshot. Pic 3 showing maybe John 'Uh huh' Collum (and/or Richard De Neut or Daniel Boone ?) sitting in dark bibs. Richard De Neut wore bibs as well on a publicity pic. In the background on pic 3 there's a blonde kid, probably a girl with suspenders, but I think this is a dress (also sitting rear view).
On a publicity pic (Eagles Club), there's 11 yo Harold Switzer. Very brief scene of him near the beginning, sitting and standing up on the right (partial view, pic 4), later sitting, headshot and from a distance, but bibs mainly hidden by an accordion. I almost missed Alfalfa during a fast search as his shirt has a similar color and didn't recognize him.
Rating ~4-5. One of the better late movies. 18 minutes. But bibs only in the first half.

Around the late 80s and 90s, overalls were a trendy fashion for kids and ladies, also depicted in movies and series. In the 30s, country kids, tomboys and teens (like at one-room schoolhouses) are often shown very handsome, but I doubt that this is realistic. Yes, there are actors and it depends on the characters.
In some series like The Waltons, there are several handsome actors including supporting actors, like Tom in s4e9 (pic 1, rear view in the post for this episode, rating 10). Besides the 70s haircuts (especially of Jim-Bob) there are some few others shown like fat Clarence in season 6 and 7 and also handicapped characters (Elizabeth after accident).
In Little House of the Prairie (also 70s and 80s), there are handsome kids as well, but I think most characters are more realistic. Pic 2 was from s3e20 and pic 3 from s1e5 (Story 21: LHOTP - The Love of Johnny Johnson, maybe I had another pic there).
Fat or red haired characters are also common in movies but often just one actor. Different characters including fat, black and handsome kids are already shown in Our Gang in the 20s. Very rarely shown are ugly characters (except fat ones).
Maybe I should make a list of most handsome actors, but it's often included in the highest rated posts. And tastes are different.
Another thing is a handsome actor and not matching bibs. Ripped bibs, too tight bibs, unusual colors, unusual length, fabric and the like. Imagine Tom Pizey in The Enid Blyton Secret Series or Huck & the King of Hearts in very tight bibs. Just some thoughts.

Part 2 in Mar 2023 is about Jason Bateman in LHOTP s7e22 (rating 5 for few scenes of beige bibs)
