The 6-Minute Critic

The Terror of Tiny Town

Every once in a while, Hollywood creates a legend and you wonder if it really happened. Rarely does it turn out to be true. But in the case of The Terror of Tiny Town, it’s true. Good lord, is it true!

I first heard about the movie on January 28, 1980 when I was 10. In the M*A*S*H episode “Morale Victory,” Klinger mentions that the only movie he can find is The Terror of Tiny Town, then gave a quick description of the flicker.
I thought that’s too ridiculous to be true. Gotta be a gag.

A few years later I found out that it wasn’t a joke. There really was a Western movie cast entirely with dwarfs.

With such a premise, I had to see this movie. In 2017 I finally did, and I did a six minute review of it.
