Featured review
Frankly, everything has already been said by previous users. Yes, it's ludicrous. Yes, it's boring. Yes, it's clichéd. Yes, it's badly acted.
But, COME ON, this was intended as a Columbia "C" filler to begin with. Think about it....... "Oz" was already filming, or soon to start, with ALL of these actors as "Munchkins." (Well, "Tex" isn't in "Oz," but every other name appears.) What better way to get some cheap studio material into the theaters? The little people were already making news in the trades.....you'd better BELIEVE Columbia utilized the situation.
Charles Becker, as the cook, has some funny moments, considering the quality of every other performance. And, Billy Curtis, as the hero, actually comes across as a miniaturized version of the standard Hollywood Western star.
As a curiosity, it is definitely worth watching once, with friends and a few margaritas.
