An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Terror of Tiny Town, the bizarre cult classic 1938 Sam Newfield musical cowboy western comedy ("These Tom Thumbs are colossal!"; "Half-pints in 10-gallon hats! First time on the screen!"; "Rip-snortin' all-midget action show! First time on any screen!"; "All-midget cast! First time on the screen! Fighting... singing... loving!") starring Jed Buell's Midgets, Billy Curtis, Yvonne Moray, 'Little Billy' Rhodes, Billy Platt, and John T. Bambury. Note that director Sam Newfield had the novel idea of filming a western where the entire cast was played by little people (Jed Buell's Midgets among others). It may not be among the greatest movies ever made, but it certainly is high on the list of the most unusual movies ever made! Also note that some of the cast members of this movie would have a far better role the following year, when they were cast as Munchkins in MGM's classic "The Wizard of Oz"! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that first release movie paper items from this bizarre movie are very rare! We have NEVER before auctioned this first release one-sheet! Before being consigned this first release one-sheet, we had only sold an insert, a few lobby cards, and a three-sheet (which we were reconsigned), from the first release in all our years of auctioning. We know that there was a 1942 re-release and another 1947 re-release, and that may account for why 1938 first release items are so rare (and we have never seen this 1938 first release one-sheet offered anywhere prior to this auction)!

Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was expertly restored by a talented professional, and it displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
