Typical 1930's B-Western, Only Smaller!
3 November 2009
The standard issue plot consists of the title villain rustling cattle and sparking a range war between two rival ranchers, who each suspect the other.

This is the first and only all little person musical western film. Once the novelty wears off though, The Terror Of Tiny Town starts to look like a typical 1930's poverty row programmer, of which director Sam Newfield is strongly associated.

Billy Curtis, who went on to co-star alongside Clint Eastwood in High Plains Drifter, makes an appealing hero. The musical numbers (some of which were dubbed) are well done and the climax is surprisingly good.

The producers should have cast Mickey Rooney as a giant!
