Mr. Franz: Oh that. What’s it look like to you?
This movie would have been even more fun if there had been puppet people that attacked.
Kindly Mr. Franz is a doll manufacturer. Unfortunately he is also very lonely and insane. For his own private collection he makes life-like dolls to play with. A new secretary and her fiance (John Agar) find out the hard way how Mr. Franz does it. Turns out it’s something to do with an overhead projector and a tuning fork.
Bert I. Gordon moves from giant creatures to tiny humans using his standard techniques. The title promises a lot more than the film delivers in the way of thrills but it’s not a bad way to kill 75 minutes.
