Figure 1.--The costuming in "De tasjesdief" (The Bag Santcher) is the standard 1990s casual childrens' and teen clothes that have become so standardized throughout Europe. Alex here is seen gere, I think in his grandmother's house. |

Sean Astin. Disney film with an engaging boy and some nice prank scenes. Children of officers at a Marine air station uncover a spy plot.
Three teenage dirt bikers band together with friends to round up a gang of crooks. David Argue, John Ley
I saw this some time ago. If I remember right it was totally uninteresting. Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland star in this song and dance musical. It was their first pairing. The cast also included Johnny Sheffield.
Victor Herbert's operetta of a girl's adventure in a story book kingdom. Laurel and Hardy version. Advertises as "March of the Wooden Soldiers".
Anetta Funichello Disney version of Babes in Toyland. The costumes are elaborate, but not really interesting. The cast includes many Disney stalwarts. Kevin Corcorran is one of the two boys prominently featured. He wears a blue velvet suit with knicker-length pants. A blond boy about 11 who appears briefly in a blue sailor suit, again with knicker-length pants. The girls' costumes are much more elaborate, including pantalettes.
Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland musical.
An adult (20-25 years old) is still being raised like a baby by his mean mother and two sisters. He is kept in diapers in a crib. They always treat him just like a baby. It has a surprise ending. The movie is often edited for television.
A seemingly charming babysitter infiltrates a family and exploits each member's needs and vulnerabilities.
A wealthy elderly nobleman arranges to visit each of his three children by different marriages. I haven't seen it.
A few boys appear in the background wearing jeans and other long pants.
Poorly made film about a plane crash. One of the survivors is 5-year old Tony, played by Jon Provost who became well known on the Lassie TV series. He wears suspender shorts, a popular style for younger boys in the 1950s.
'Back to the Secret Garden' is about children who are World War II
young war orpgans. The main children are called Lizzie and Robert. The house keeper is called Martha. she runs the home. The Secret Garden is out of bounds. Martha is afraid of the Garden's Secrets. It is the biggest rule not to go inside it. Lizzie is determined to explore the forbidden place. She finds the key and realises that the garden was a loved place and because
of the neglect it is dying. She and Robert and other children give it the love it needs and heal their own trauma in the process. The children's fashions of the time are nicely depicted in the film. I have watched the film. There are two or three bits of interest to HBC. There is an exchange orphanage programme. From a Washington D.C orphanage run by nuns a green
fingered 12 year old girl gets the chance to live in Mistlethwaite Manor--now a British Orphan School. This seems rather improbable. The orphanage exchange is made possible because the wife of the British Ambassador home is Mistlethwaite Manor. They have a child who needs medical treatment hense the exchange. The film is set in 1946, just after World War I. The American orphanage has a scene showing the children. Girls are wearing dresses. Boys are in short pants and older boys are in longs. Some boys are wearing bow ties.
The film was based on a Fanny Hearst novel about a romance between a woman and a married man. I haven't seen this version, but Tim Holt is reportedly quite good as the snotty, self righteous son. He was about 23 at the time and I'm not sure if the character is depicted at an earlier age.
Remake for Susan Heyward. This time the son is 11 years old. He also gives an excellent self righteous performance. He appears in long pants suits, at least in the parts of the movie I saw. This doesn't seem quite right as the film is set in Italy and France. The boy wear a little school-boy type peaked cap with his suit.
Mothers play their sons in a football game. The boys look to be 13 or so. A few wear short pants, but most wear lons. The main character has unruly curly hair. I didn't see the entire film, but I think he always wears long pants. He has his first crush on a girl.
Misadventures of five 11 year olds. I thought they looked a bit older than 11, but American kids are a bit bigger than British kids I think. One boy, Cosmo, wears wire rimmed glasses. The film is one of those poorly made for children movies, but the kids were reasonable little actors and they could have done nicely with a decent script. The film did utilize a lot of contemporary kid jargon. The film begins at summer camp where all the kids wear red gym-type shorts. The camp is one of those up early in the morning and extensive physical exercise routines. They rebel with their counselor and create havoc. In one scene he is picture with a switch making them work. Next year the two boys are back together. Cosmo is from a rich family and arrives at the air port to return to camp in a limousine, hand cuffed to the butler. He steps out of the limousine in a very smart blue blazer. Hardly normal camp wear. (I immediately thought of the Disney Spin and Marty. series. Actually it is interesting to compare the two shows to see just how much TV changed. This movie focused on rebellion/opposition to adult values. TV used to be on the side of the parents. There were other depiction that would have not been seen or earlier television and the kids even make fun of the kidnappers. How times have changed.) Getting back to Cosmo, when he moved away from the limousine you could see that he was wearing khaki shorts. Knee socks of course were no longer worn by boys. He wore white socks and tennis shoes. I don't think many American boys, however, dressed like this. Cosmo stayed in that outfit for some time and even after taking off his blazer and tie, wore shorts for the rest of the film. The other kids didn't say anything about him being dressed up, but his little friend complained about Switzerland when he thought that was their destination. He didn't want to wear leather shorts (lederhosen) and (I think) herd goats. One of the boys is Richard Gilliland. As the film was almost completely devoted to the kids, a lot of early 1990s fashions are depicted.
The director of a boy's rehabilitation ranch makes a man of a boy considered to be a hopeless criminal.
A delinquent, Asai, is reformed in a benign camp environment. The main character is an older teenager, 17 years old. In the still I saw, the boys are all wearing longs. Highly praised by critics.
A young hoodlum accidentally kills the younger brother of a teenage dope dealer during a police chase and is sent to a tough reformatory. Sean Penn and Reni Santoni
A hip California couple adopt a little girl, but are unprepared for the antics of four friends who break out of the orphanage to her rescue.
A bedraggled Little League team is taken over by beer-sipping coach. He shapes it into a winning team when a girl is added to the team. A rather nice little film which nicely showcases 1970s fashions. One interesting character is Tanner, a little guy--but very aggressive. When he gets teased at school about how bad the team is, he takes on the entire 7th grade. He even stands up for Lupus, who never ever stands up for himself. The black player is so fed up with the team that he strips off his uniform and goes up into a tree in just his underpants. Almost all the team wear long pants, but one boy occasionally appears in shorts and some kids in the back ground, including a score keeper wear shorts. This is not realistic as more American boys were weaing shorts in the 1970s. Chris Barnes.
The young star of a Little League baseball team heads for the Houston Astrodome and enlists the aid of his estranged father to coach the misfits. This sequel is a stale remake of the original. Jackie Earle Haley, Chris Barnes.
A greedy agent tries to grab the profits from the teams participation in a baseball tournament in Japan. None of the sequels measure up to the original. In this one the kids are all older. All wear longs, even the Japanese kids which would seem unlikely. Jackie Earle Haley has become a teenager. Another stale remake of the original.
A girl (a star, but I don't know her name) is the main character here. She plays her role as a prissy little girl.
Krvava Rajka is a shocking World War II film set in Serbia. The title is varuiously translated 'Bad Tales' or ' 'Bloody Fairytale'. A reader reports, "I saw an old Yugoslavian film last week. It starts with the Nazi invasion of 1941. Children aged between 9 and 14 years are shown leaving their school with their school belongings. Many schools were closed during the German occupation. These are models the children have made. Things progress and a lot of the boys become shoe shine boys to earn money fir the family. One day several German officers come to have their boots cleaned. Some of the boys refused and moved away. The others cleaned the soldiers boots. The Partisans stage an attack which occured while the children are playing in a field. Afterwards the Germans begin rounded up people in the town for a reprisal action. In a tense moment the shoe shine boys refuse to clean the soldiers boots. They throw away their shoe shine boxes and join the villagers who have been riunded up. The Germans proceed to execute all of the hostages and the boys. The film memorable moment for the way war effects children is when their joyful play is interrupted by explosions and gun fire as the Nazis and Partisan's fight. It is based on a true story. One reviewer writes, "Memory of the victims of the Kragujevac massacre is described through the events that are related to a group of boys, shoe shiners. At that time, thousands of workers refused to work for the invaders, and the whole city was exposed to harsh repression and persecution of innocent citizens and the abolition of the regular rations of food." This is a little confusing. Many people in occupied countrues really had no option, but to work for the Germans who had instituted the Hunger Plan. In the East, the only people given food rations were those working for the Germans. People in the cities either worked for the Germans are moved into the cuntryside where they might find food.

This film is "De tasjesdief" (The bag snatcher) was made in the Netheralnds during 1995. It is about, Alex, a 12-year old school boy. Both his parents are busy with their job therefore Alex spends lots of time with his grandma whom he calls Rose. One day he finds her house raided, his grandma tied and gagged. She makes him promise not to tell anybody for fear that she would end up in an old people�s home. The villains are Evert and Lucas, two teenagers with emotional problems. They have been abandoned by their father and their stepfather bullies them. Now Alex has to deal with them.
A boy (Lee H. Montgomery) participates in his parents' struggle against vigilante forces. Beautiful depiction of the father-son relationship. Set in Utah in 1876.

I just saw the ending, but believe it was a movie short. The film is set around two little boys about 11. The smaller one looks like Bobby on The Brady Bunch. It is set around 1962. A group of rough and tumble boys are seen playing British Bulldog. The roughness and grunginess of the game are emphasized. This glimpse of carefree boyishness is briefly interrupted by two sweet little girls in dresses who want to play. The boys go home where mom treats them deftly like two little hellions. The boys sneak some ice cream out of the fridge and peek into the living room wear mom is entertaining the local woman with a tea. A Miss Hotckins is telling them about the need for their boys to learn proper deportment and shows a film showing a sickingly swarmy boy with impeccable manners. The women are "ooing" and "awing" and the geeky little darling. Miss Hotchkins tells them about an opportunity to attend the Martha Hotckins Ballroom Dancing and Charm School. Our two heros look and each other and exclaim "No way!" The next scene shows mom pushing one of them out the call door and he is clinging in desperation to the car. He is pleading. "Please mom, no! I promise I'll change." The boys are all smartky dressed in blue blazers with white gloves long pants. In the early 1960s boys of 10-12, especially from well to do families, might still seen in short pants suits. They have to endure an excruciating afternoon with girls in lace and frilly dresses and the dreaded Miss Hotchkins. At the end our little hero develops a crush on a girl. (The same one he gave a back eye to while playing British Bulldog.) She gives him a little wave as mom drives him off.

Visually appealing dramatization of the Thackery novel. There is a curly-haired boy in a silk waistcoat and trousers. Simply a scaled down version of adult outfits. The movie is an elaborate costume dram, but few boys are depicted except in the early scenes.
A reader has mentioned the Swedish film "Den bästa Sommaren" (The summer take). We know nothing about the film at this time. Hopefully HBC readers who have seen the film will tell us something about it. Our reader notes that one interesting aspect of the film is that a boy wears a shirt style we have noted during the 1950s. It was referred to as "Continental style" in America. I'm not sure what it was called in Europe. We have noted that this style was particularly popular in Scandinavia.

The 1957 American film 'Battle Hymn' is about aa World war II pilot who becomes a minister and then rejoins the U.S Air Force (UAF) to help train Korean Air Force pilots at very start of the war. The film is based on a true story. Dean Hess, who entered the ministry to atone for inadvertentlky bombing a German orphanage, decides he's a failure at preaching. He rehoins the USAF to train pilots early in the Korean War, he finds Korean orphans raiding the airbase garbage. With a pretty Korean teacher, he sets up an orphanage for them and others. But he finds that to protect his charges, he has to kill. The children he is caring for are children of Koreans fleeing south to escape the Communists and advancing Norrth Korean Army. Since the pilots were flying P-51s, it was very early in the war. The United sent to Korea the limited forces in Jpan. We see the desperetly hungary refugee orphans rummaging through the garbage cans at the air base and a boy scavenging a half eaten piece of bread found under one of tables for the pilots.
It was the largely the fear of the Luftwaffe that allowed Hitler to bully the Allies in the years leading up to World War II. And indeed the Luftwaffe played a major role in thde successes achived in Poland, Norwat]y and France. It was in the Summer of 1940 that Britain alone and without allies took on that might of Hitler's vaunted Luftwaffe in the skies over Britain. The outcome of the Battle of Britain in many ways determined the outcome of World War II. There are several memorable scenes in this excellent film which vdery accurately (for a film) depicts the battle. During an air-raid sequence, three boys are seen standing in a very shallow part of the River Thames. They wearing only their underpants and arguing whether or not the German aircraft are Messerschmitts or Heinkels.Two other boys are briefly seen, each wearing dark blue slipovers. One of these boys wears a grey shirt, while the other a blue one. The latter is holding a yellow fishing net. In
another scene a British Flight Sergeant (Ian McShane) returns to his London home to see his wife and two sons. When he arrives at the street where they live, he is stopped by an air-raid warden and told that if he's looking for someone, then they will be in the church hall, which is where he finds his family. The elder boy wears a grey long sleeve V-necked pullover, dark shirt and light brrown, almost yellow shorts which are lined. His younger brother wears a dark green turtle-neck sweater, grey shorts and beige ankle socks. Both boys wear black shoes. Later McShane volunteers to go and look for a family trapped in a nearby street. On his way back from the rescue he is accompanied by a small boy who us wearing pyjamas and a dressing gown. Just as they are approaching the church hall, There is the sound of an explosion and the picture cuts to show the chuch hall in flames. During one of the many dog fight sequences in the film, a fighter pilot (Edward Fox) is seen parachuting from his aircraft. He lands in the garden of a semi-detached house and while he's
descending he is watched by a small boy of about 10 years who rushes into the house and returns moments later with a cigarette box and offers one to Fox. The boy is wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a dark grey diagonally striped tie, grey worsted or Terylene shorts, grey turn-over-top socks and black shoes. However, the shorts seem to be more like those worn by boys in the late 1960s early 70s as they end around the middle of the boys thighs. They just don't seem right for the period the film was set in. The scene does, however. wonderfully reflect the pluck of the British as the fought Hitle alone in one of the decisive battles of the War.
Two English children sneak away from home and travel to Italy where their mother is living with her lover and his daughter. The English children want their mother to come home. I think the boy wears shorts. At dinner he wears a suit, but I didn't see the trousers. He sees the girls run out of the villa, toss off their towels and go skinny dipping. The children go on a hunger strike, including the Italian one--but she just pretends. The other two feel betrayed when they find out. The man gets angry and spanks his daughter. The father of the two English children eventually comes to get them and their mother goes home with them.
A boy breaks down when his parents divorce. Scott Jacoby
A young Nova Scotian boy faces uncertainties over his future after witnessing a murder. Set in Depression-era Canada. The boy (Kiefer Sutherland) is quite a nice boy, but a bit old to be of any interest. He is Catholic and is priest takes an inappropriate interest in him.
Not very well done Conan-type epic. In a mythical world of the past, a boy searches for the villain responsible for the murder of his father. He is aided by a man with an ability to communicate with animals who is searching for the villains that destroyed his village. The movie does have the boy from Time Travelers who appears in a loin cloth for some scenes. Strangely this rather mediocre film is reportedly the most requested film in Turners archives and that includes a roster with King Kong and Gone With The Wind. It is arather strange mix. One reader comments, "You cannot hope to
match the mammal commanding, sword swinging might of this loinclothed toting prehistorical hero. Children are born out of cows, eyeball dimestore rings, rip Torn as a Jim Jones 2000BC, attack ferrets, worms that turn men into insane Manowar lookalikes, Frazetta
rip off legions, leathery batmen who digest people into piles of chewed up Funion residue, the dad from Good Times looking like the singer from Half Off, and a great gimmick weapon, tho its no Glaive from Krull or that three bladed sword from sword and the Sorceror. Name another film with all this?. Billy Jacoby, Marc Singer
Mickey Rooney
Sounds like a terrible movie set in medieval France. The central character was apparently traumatized when he killed his mother's lover at 10 and since has had an obsessive hatred of women. He considers his son a weakling, dresses him up in women's clothes and makes him the prey of a manhunt. The movie focuses, however, on his cruel treatment of his daughter, Beatrice.
The film is set around three brothers. One is a 14 year-old Donald O'Conner, I wonder if he objected to his outfits. They are English orphans taken in my an aristocratic family. (Obviously made in America, as this would have never happened in England.) The family has one girl and a bore of a cousin who appear with the brothers at the beginning of the film. Some what varied, but interesting costuming. The three brothers are in blue sailor suits. The two older boys wear longs, but the younger one has his pant legs rolled way up, they may be rolled up shorts, but it is hard to tell. The tattle-tale cousin is in a white sailor suit with shorts, but short white socks. The girl wears a white sailor suit dress, white knee socks and Mary Jane patent leather shoes. Subsequently the boys appear in suits and ties. The older boy wears kneepants buttons at the hem. The middle boy wears knickers. The younger boy wears a smart black suit with rather longish shorts, wide collar, and knee socks. The boorish cousin wears an Eton suit with longs. There is no real attempt to create period costuming, although perhaps the sailor suits for older boys might be a bit of an attempt. I assume the costuming must representative what Americans thought well-to-do English boys wore in the 1930s. While knickers were common for Americans boys to wear. I think they were less common in the UK.
I haven't seen this version. The best version is "The Last Remake of Beau Geste." which has a scene at the beginning of the movie with the boys in velvet suits and lace collars.
An American family in Australia wrestles with how to care for a retarded son. He is about 10. While he wears longs, a few of the boys in his schools wear grey short pants with their school uniforms.
A mother loses her boy because of her career.

Disappointing children's movie with two boys (Ron Smart and Ian Weigel). This is a Disney production with Angela Lndsbury. Their English accents are engaging. The younger boy is a little blond boy who wears a brown short pants suits and a schoolboy peaked cap. He is about 6 or 7. The older boy is about 12 and more worldly wise. He always wears longs.
Maurice Chevalier movie. I haven't seen it, but in a clip a group is skipping along and in the front is a boy about 13 years old in a dark short pants suit and knee socks, I think with an Eton collar.
Story about the impact of a St. Bernard, obviously Beethoven, on a suburban family. Three children are involved, one a boy about 10 wearing glasses who wears longs throughout. A rather staid family movie, but the dog is great.
Sequel of the previous Beethoven film, this time with puppies. The same boy is a bit older and this times he appears in shorts as well as longs. This time he is constantly confronted with being short. Rather strange really as it has no connection with the story line.
A strange voodoo New York cult practicing Santeria, has as one of its tenants, the ritualistic killing of first born children. Police psychiatrist Cal Jamison moves to New York with his son Chris after the death of his wife. He becomes involved in the investigation of the murder of two youths. The question of them being immolated during a cult ritual. Jamison suspects Voodoo. Sespite warnings from his housekeeper, he investigates by entering the Santeria cult. He soon comes under their influence. They try to get him to sacrifice his son. Reviewers complained that the film moved to slow. Some fans thought that was all part of building suspense. John Schlesinger directed Mark Frost's screenplay which was based based on Nicholas Conde's book--The Religion. The film has lots of voodoo images of rituals using fresh chicken blood, decapitated cats, etc. Then the film finally gets to little boys. Horror film buffs may like the film. It was not to my taste. With all tge chicken blood one might think that Martin Sheen who plays Cal Jamison might not be able to come across as pompous as he usually does, but he manages to do so. Chis was more effectively played by Harley Cross.
A summer adventure of four boys and a girl, all teenagers, in a white jeep going to a beach.
A young conscript deserts following a failed uprising in 1931 Spain. He is hidden by an aging producer and befriends his four beautiful daughters in a sort of Mediterranean "Tom Jones." He apparently appears dressed as a maid. The film won the 1994 Oscar for the best foreign film.
Light-hearted spoof of a British girls school. All the girls, real hellions, wear proper outfits, although often in disarray.
An unemployed computer expert faces the mob in London. In the melee he gets to know his stepson played by Kieran O'Brien. It is an exciting movie and the boy plays his part well. Kieran plays a wise, sober child, and spunky boy. A bond develops between the man and alienated boy. The milksop father is an alcoholic who his wife finds boring. He is into the mob for �1,000 so he and the boy go on the lamb. The boy is devoted to stepfather who accepts responsibility for him after the boy's mother runs out on both. The unsentimental relationship between the two is developed with clarity and insight.
Unfinished movie with Mark Lester
A priest and mother superior save an old parochial school by persuading a skinflint to donate land and a building to their cause. Several kids are involved in the plot, but I believe that theyball wear long pants. There may be some knikers. A nun shows a gentle boy how to box to defend himself.
Further adventures of the large Gilbreth family. Sequel to Cheaper by the Dozen. I think the boys wear shorts and knickers, but I may have this mixed up with another film.
Mickey Rooney
"The Beloved Vagabond" has a complicated plot. It must have been a popular story because two silent films were made of the book before this production was shot. Each is alittle different. The French title is "Le Vagabond bien-aim�". And the shooting included both a French and English version. The main hertthrob is Mauruce Chevalier who plays Pargot, an archetect. He is in love with the boss's daughter--Joanna Rushworth (Betty Stockfield). She chooses another man. Disdraught he quits his job and returns to his native France. (This apparently is what attracted Chevalier to the film. His career in Hollywood was stagnating.) Chevalier is traveling with young Asticot (Desmond Tester) when the two meet a gypsy woman--Blanquette (Margaret Lockwood). She was orphaned at a young age. They form a minstrel act which provides an excuse for converting the film into a musical. The two fall in love, but Paragot is still stuck on Joanna. Hec returns to England to persue her. She neve goit married and is receotive to his advances. He soon learns about her true character and realize that Blanquette is his true love and he hightails it back to France. Perhaps one of our readers understands the plot better.
Fictional story of a medieval French poet. Dickie Moore appeared as a baby. Silent.
Story about killer rats. I believe a boy is involved as Ben's owner. Lee H. Montgomery
I believe the main characters are pictured briefly as children in Rome at the beginning of the movie.
'Beneath the North Star' (Täällä Pohjantähden alla) is is a another Finnish classic, based on a triolgy by Väinö Linna of the same title (1968). The film follows the first two volumes of Linna's trilogy. The third volume was later adapted into a film ntitled 'Akseli and Elina' (1970). The film 1968 version was also directed by Laine. It shows the Finnish Civil War from the perspective of the Red Guards fighting to impose Bolshevik rule. The film appeared as Finland was breaking away from the Soviet orbit. Some but not all of the film's content would appeal to Soviet censors, but the film was entered in the Sixth International Moscow Film Festival. The movie starts with the beginning of the the Koskela family croft (rented farm) (1880). It focuses on the Koskela family and their neigbots in fictional Pentinkulma village. The central theme is the precarious condition of the rofters and their effots to improve their lives. The author touches on the various segments of the population, lncluding the poor whose living standaeds were worse than those of the crofters. The story of the film goes all the way to independence (1917) the Finnish Civil War between the Red Guards (Crofters) and the Whites (Government).
Andrew McCarthy, Charlie Fields, Danny Pintauro, and Jeff Alan-Lee. Five young orphans set up home in a small Missouri farm town. They try to outwit nosy neighbors and the by the book principal. Anthony McCarthy, Charlie Fields.
A lovable pooch saves two children from kidnappers and becomes an irreplaceable addition to the family. The little girl in the story waers a dress with pinafore, white knee socks and Mary Jane patent strap shoes.
The beginning of the movie has several boys in knickers. Benny is in knickers at 10 with his older brothers, also in knickers. A fairly long sequence as him in knickers at 16. I think I heard more comments about him wearing short pants (referring to the knickers) than in any other film I have ever seen. First the band members don't think he is old enough to play and the band director doesn't think he is old enough to play. When he is about 15 or 16 and a sophomore in high school. A girl he has been fixed up with looks down at his knickers and starts giggling at him. She say's "I've never gone out with a boy in short pants before." He is embarrassed, and storms off. He never is shown asking his folks for longs, but he is in longs after he tells his father he needs a tuxedo. One of the most famous German silent films was "Berlin: Symphony of a Great City" released in 1927. It contains wonderful images from an entire day in Berlin in 1927 and includes several interesting details of boys' clothes. The first scene shows two boys entering their school for classes in the morning carrying bookbags. One boy wears a flat cap, a belted jacket, knee pants, and long black stockings. The second photograph is a Berlin street scene showing a boy of about 14 wearing a cardigan sweater buttoned all the
way up to his neck. He also wear knee pants and long black stockings.
Nonsensical science fiction movie, but it begins with two children, a boy and a girl, playing on a beach with a turtle. I think one of the boys is pictured at two different ages, but I could be wrong about that. The rest of the movie deals with him as a young man coming back to Bermuda.
Drama set in a summer school. A sensitive young teacher is dominated by another, more macho, colleague.
" Between Two Women " ws set in England during the 1950s.
This mildly diverting comedy was directed by Jim Sotos. The film stars Martin Sheen and is about about a rich somewhat whiney Beverly Hills boy who decides to stage his own kidnapping to get some attention from his snobby parents. Part of the hilarity is the costuming. The main character, Sterling ... aka Scooter (Peter Billingsley) conceives of his kidnapping when a burglar (Clive...Burt Young) breaks into the family mansion to relieve the family of their many valuables. Sterling winds up holding Clive at gunpoint and tries to convince him to stage the kidnapping. The film gets a little soppy at the end.
A young couple turns their property into a holiday home for disturbed children.
In one scene a little boy steals his mothers panties while she is taking a shower. In another scene she finds the panties cut to shreds hidden in a dresser drawer.
Disney film about extraterestrial children. See also Escape From Witch Mountain.
Both movies are poorly done although the children are competent enough. They wear casual clothes. The boy wears long pants.
