TAGLINES : "Terror Comes In Small Packages!" "Doll dwarfs versus the crushing giant beats!" - Lonely, deranged puppet-master designs a machine that shrinks people. The secretary Sally Reynolds is hired by the owner of the Dolls, Inc., the former puppet master Mr. Franz. Soon she meets the salesman Bob Westley and they fall in love with each other. When Bob proposes to marry Sally, he decides to inform Franz, but mysteriously vanishes. Sally notices that Mr. Franz has a new doll in his private collection that looks like her fiance and goes to the police telling that somehow Mr. Franz is shrinking people. But Sgt. Paterson, who is assigned to the investigation, goes to the factory with Sally but is skeptical. HISTORIC NOTE : On the evening of June 17, 1972, if Alfred C. Baldwin III (in a nearby hotel 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 two plainclothes detectives who made the historic arrests. CAST includes John Agar, John Hoyt, June Kenney, Michael Mark, Marlene Willis, Jack Kosslyn, Ken Miller, Laurie Mitchell, Susan Gordon, Hank Patterson, Bill Hickman. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : This film was rushed into production by American International and Bert I. Gordon to ride the success of Universal-International's The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957). Director Bert I. Gordon's daughter, Susan Gordon, was a last-minute substitute for another actress who was ill and unable to work. When the miniature subjects were trying to call the local Police Dept only one remembered the number (thankfully). Calling 911 as an emergency number wasn't passed by Senate for another 14 years in 1972. The dolls displayed are Revlon dolls. The giant phone prop was supplied by the phone company. Hank Patterson was a stock character actor in Bert I. Gordon films for American International Pictures. In addition to his role as the theater night manager in this movie, he appears as Dave in Beginning of the End (1957), Henry in The Amazing Colossal Man (1957), and Hugo the janitor in The Spider (1958).
