Le petit bougnat

Drama, family film
–Year: 1970
–Year in film: ~1969 ?
–Country: France, Italy
–Who in bedroom: boys ~10-12 ?
–Kind of beds: dorm, separate beds
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no, partly TV recording
–Rating: 4/10 ?
–Rating: ****
–Comment: Some boys in a dorm with separation walls. The black boy (Claude Amazan as main character) sleeping on the floor (also later in a wooden bed). I don’t remember if it’s at a different location. Pic 1 looks like an (unusual) dorm, maybe a modern orphanage. But the plot is about a summer camp. Probably no bunk beds.

Sorry, I’ve checked this some time ago. I don’t like the late 60s and early 70s. Typical movie. Also on my pigtails blog.

Rating 3-4 for the bedrooms.

Vägen till Gyllenblå!

–Who in bedroom: boys, girls ~10-12 ?
–Kind of beds: separate beds / dorm

–Rating: 7/10 ?
–Rating: *******
–Comment: Some boys and I think girls in one dorm with rows of beds close to each other with little curtains over the heads. Located on a different planet.

Very interesting Sci-Fi series. Also including skinny dipping scenes. Handsome blonde boy.

I don’t know the complete series. Interesting dorm, strange beds, clothes and plot.

Rating ~7-8 for now. I think not on DVD. Script by Norwegian Roar Skolmen. Aka “Veien til Gyldenblå” which is also the title of his 1985 novel which would be interesting as well. But I think quite rare as well and maybe not translated. He also did some other interesting movies. One soon on my shiny shorts blog.

–Comment: Around 3 beds (or are there 2 rows ?) in this small dorm. Starring Scott Baio. Pic from ep “Luke Was There” aired in 1977 (s2e1). 47 minutes (but YouTube clip is just 32 minutes). I think the room is a larger hall (no wallpapers), with wall separators and a corridor on the left. So in fact there are more beds.

As announced on my bib overalls blog, I found several rare TV movie from LCA (The Learning Company) and similar.

1973 novel by Eleanor Clymer. Set in NY.

Rating 7. I have to search for more episodes. I don’t like much the 70s but interesting room, setting, plot and actors.

–Comment: 10 or 11 yo Michi (pic 1, played by Luis Vorbach) and Justin (Marco Licht on left) sharing a room at a children’s home. I think no other rooms shown there, but probably all are rooms with 2 beds only. Near the end pic 1 at his dad’s home? Still running.

Also on my shiny shorts blog, rating 3.

Schloss Einstein – ep. 898

One more pic of this one from ep 898, 2nd episode of season 21, showing this room from a different view. Probably the same large (studio) room like in season 20. Also close up bird’s eye view at night (headshots).

/2017/02/17/schloss-einstein-season-20/

Season 22 will be aired on March 2019.

Dominik and Jannis shown but I think this room has 3 beds (with Henri). There are also rooms with 2 beds and also girls’ rooms. I think no bunk beds anymore. I prefer the earlier seasons set in Seelitz.

I found this some time ago and don’t remember much.

Quite interesting room. But I prefer color movies and brothers.

Rating ~3-4 only.

–Comment: First I think a boy in a room with s single bed, then a small dorm with 5 or 6 or even more wooden bunk beds at a boarding school. At least 3 bunk beds on this right side and at least 2 on the opposite side. Plot is a bout choir boys.

Not sure about the time setting. Could be the 1950s but the furnitures in pic 2 look like the 70s. 1955 novel by William Mayne.

For the bedrooms, rating 6-7.

–Comment: Some orphaned boys, at least 5 boys including 12 or 13 yo Nat played by Michael Caloz (“Escape From Wildcat Canyon” 1998) in night shirts in this dorm. Set in 1871. Nice pillow fight.

I don’t know the complete movie, yet. But looks verys interesting. Also nice schoolhouse scenes (but probably not showing overalls) and Christmas plot.

Rating maybe 6-7 for now.

Not to be confused with the (related) Canadian TV series of the same year starring Corey Sevier, which also needs to be checked. I also have the 1940 b&w movie, which was the 2nd remake on my sailor suit blog (boy rating 3). Novel by Louisa May Alcott, sequel of Little Women.

–Comment: Some single beds but also this dorm (Scottish boarding school) with at least 8, 10 or more beds in 2 rows. Metal beds, but one in the lower row is larger and wooden. Pic 1 from s2e10 (also shown up to s2e13). Starring Simon Gipps-Kent, Peter Vaughan-Clarke and others. Pic 2 from beginning of season 1. Some more beds (future setting, space station and regular setting) like a blue room of a man (same ep like pic 2).

Very interesting series, although I don’t like the early 70s. Also nice kilts, shorts and silver coveralls. And shirtless scenes.

After finding a trailer of Thursday’s Child (soon on my sailor suit blog) starring Simon Gipps-Kent, I found this one.

I don’t know the complete series, yet.

Rating 6 for now.

Unknown 8: French or Italian movie, bedwetting Chinese orphan ? 1980s ?

Unknown family film

–Who in bedroom: boys ~8-11 ?
–Kind of beds: separate beds, dorm
–Available on DVD: yes ?

–Rating: 5/10
–Rating: *****
–Comment: I found these screenshots on my old PC. Aired probably in the early 90s, (movie could be older, maybe late 80s ?). There’s a dorm in an orphanage and a younger, maybe Chinese bedwetting boy. 2 other kids laying his hand in a bowl of water while he sleeps. I think, the boy later tried to escape while the others sleep. And I think is caught by a man. Could also be Spanish or similar.

Does anybody remembers the title?
