10.4.10

attack of the puppet people (1958)

AKA Six Inches Tall.
"There's nothing worse than loneliness."
Sally Reynolds (June Kenney) takes a secretarial job for dollmaker Mr Franz (John Hoyt). Franz specialises in extremely life-like dolls, due to the fact that he is in reality shrinking humans! Due to being lonely he uses these minatures to do his bidding and keep him entertained. June stumbles onto this secret and with her boyfriend Bob (John Agar) she ends up a few inches shorter than she wants to be! Can they extracate themselves and get back to life size?
A fine example of 50's paranoia sci-fi, with rather convincing special effects.
