Auction History Result 2c097 TERROR OF TINY TOWN insert 1938 Jed Buell's Midgets fighting & loving, wild & beyond rare! Date Sold 12/12/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 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! Before being consigned this insert, we had only sold 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! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster had separation on the bottom two folds and someone put tape on the back of those areas. There were pieces of tape at the left and right ends of the middle fold, and they were roughly removed, causing surface paper loss, and someone performed amateur restoration to the surface paper loss in the image, and it is very noticeable. There are also tears in the bottom border that were repaired with tape from the back. Learn More about condition grades
