Brown makes his entrance in a carriage making goo-goo noises. However, the movie's worth seeing for CHFBers because Bela's got a great comedic part in the film. J. Theakston Capitol Theatre, Rome, NY

I don't remember that.

Again, not quite the same, but gets mighty close, as we are asked to believe that an adult in the story cannot see that the 'child' is really an adult.

There are real people who do that, you know. But this isn’t the Weird Fetish Thread!

MAD MAX: BEYOND THUNDERDOME - I hate to mention this because I hate the movie so much. In the Dome Max fights Master Blaster, a brutish manchild with a little midget riding on his shoulder acting as the brains of the operation. GOONIES - Sloth. Mork And Mindy - Jonathan Winters

When I saw MONKEY BUSINESS on Saturday Night at the Movies when I was 13 or so I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. Not sure what I'd think of it now. There's one funny bit with boss Coburn handing a memo to secretary Marilyn, and saying, "Find someone to type this." The scalping Hugh Marlowe scene is pretty good, too.

The result is more bizarre and grotesque than funny.

Jul 20 11 3:01 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Also, there's The Orphan. SPOILER In the story a stunted woman is playing the part of a child, and in the production itself, vice versa. In The Tin Drum, as mentioned above, a child was cast as the dwarf character, but it wasn't clear whether or not the director intended that he should look like a child throughout. (But then that movie confused me entirely, since it treated the story as literally true, whereas in the novel it wasn't.) The Masque of the Red Death also used a child to play the dwarf or midget (these terms are no longer PC, I know, but how else to differentiate the two?) and also the love interest of the adult male dwarf. The Never-Ending Story had a princess who I think was not supposed to be a child but was played by a child. And The Incredible Shrinking Man had a midget played by a normal-sized actress, with oversized furniture. These kinds of substitutions, besides being kind of offensive in one way or another, always make me feel uncomfortable, especially when they involve a child operating as an adult. As probably everybody here knows, when Hammer did Hound of the Baskervilles, someone had the idea of making the hound look bigger by dressing children in miniature versions of the principals' costumes and shooting them in long shot, but it didn't work, they looked just like kids. Kind of the opposite of the three in the Deathly Hallows movies.
