Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was broadcast on television as a late-night movie on the evening of June 17, 1972, during the notorious Watergate burglary in Washington DC. If Alfred C. Baldwin III (who was watching this film in his room of the nearby Howard Johnsons hotel across the street as a lookout for the Watergate burglars) had not been so engrossed in a broadcast of this film, he might have sooner warned his colleagues of the three plainclothes police detectives who arrived at the building and made the historic arrests.
- GoofsAlthough the actors take great care to ensure, when handling containers with tiny humans inside, that they are always facing the camera, sometimes they get it wrong, revealing that the figures are flat photo cut-outs.

Featured review
You know we never do learn just how the machine that shrinks folks to doll like
size came to the possession of puppetmaker John Hoyt. He had no science or
electronic background we're told about.
This is one weird film about a man who for fun and pleasure shrinks people to miniature size and keeps them around. Among others he shrinks are his new secretary June Kenney and her salesman boyfriend John Agar. When he proposes marriage and she wants to leave, Hoyt can't bear to part with either.
Hoyt is the whole show here in this B film quickie. It's not enough for a film that can't quite decide how seriously it wants to be taken.
