Reader Reviews Well if you like little people and I tend to stay away from the words "dwarf" or "migit" because to me that's cruel. But, if you love or like little people this movie is for you. Rollo Sweet an aspiring dreamer that wants to go to Hollywood and be famous expect a telegram from the film company. While everyone in the boarding house was listening to the President of The United States giving a speech and by the way this took place around the 1930's so you'll see old timy cars in it, so there was no television invented yet so they had to listen to the President on the radio. When the aerial fell down, Rollo went out to fix it and when he lost his balance or got diverted, he fell to the ground in a dream. And in the dream everyone that was in his reality, is in the dream. You'll see cameos of Mako the late Japenese actor who looks for a German little person played by late actor Billy Barty. Pat McCormick who works in the Hotel Rainbow. Adam Arkin son of Alan Arkin, dwarf actress Zelda Rubinstein who we knew better as Tagina Barron in the POLTERGEIST MOVIES, Patty Maloney who we saw numerous times when Sid, Marty Kroft was around in their days. The late Eve Arden who play Ms. McGee in BOTH Grease movies. The main characters of course are Chevy Chase and Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher. In the whole storyline, Rollo finds a group of little people heading to check into a hotel to start shooting for the movie The Wizard Of Oz and when they check into the Hotel Rainbow, that's when everything goes crazy. The little people destroy the entire lobby, dining area and they even ruin the elevator. Thorp (Chevy Chase) who is a secret service agent protecting the Duke and Duchess from an assassin while a Japenese and German agent are meeting up to trade a map with defenses against the US...Keep track of how many dogs are in this...the Duke and Duchess lose many of them...and they name the dog "Struedel" and each one dies of an accident. At the end, Rollo recovers from his dream, until he sees a real car show up with little people in it heading to Hollywood. Again, if you love or like little people this one is the movie to see.....I just wish Warner Brother's would put it out as a RErelease on DVD cause it is one classic that should NEVER be forgotten.
