About The Terror of Tiny Town
In a wild west community populated entirely by residents with dwarfism, the Larson and Preston familes have been in a generations-long feud, recently strained by the actions of cattle rustler and overall devious criminal Bat Haines. Buck Larson, the hero of our tale, takes on Haines, and tries to win the heart of Nancy Preston while resolving the tensions between his and her families.
Directed by Sam Newfield, The Terror of Tiny Town leans on a strong ensemble — Billy Curtis, Yvonne Moray, 'Little Billy' Rhodes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1938.
