Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

BA_Harrison Olaf (Torben Bille), a bizarre dwarf with a limp and a strange love of wind-up toys, lives with his ex-entertainer mother, Lila Lash (Clara Keller), in their run-down boarding house. With business a little slow (thanks to the hot and cold running mice and decor courtesy of the Munsters), they supplement their income by running a prostitution racket, keeping a collection of abducted women trapped in the attic and drugged-up on heroin.When a struggling young writer, Peter (Tony Eades), and his hot-to-trot wife Mary (stunning busty blonde Anne Sparrow) choose the Lash boarding house as their new home (not that they have any other options, since they are skint), Olaf and Lila are delighted: Mary would make a profitable addition to their business. But first, they must get rid of Peter...Opening with a sequence in which Olaf uses a wind-up dog to lure a sexy brunette (who is playing hopscotch all by herself on the sidewalk!) to his home, before bashing her over the head with his walking stick, The Sinful Dwarf is an enjoyably silly and pretty darn sleazy film from the get-go.And, after a freaky title sequence featuring garish credits and a variety of unsettling toys, the depravity and lunacy continues unabated for the full hour-and-a-half(-ish) running time, with plenty of full-frontal female nudity (and a smattering of male nudity too), a few near the knuckle sex scenes, a touch of torture (Olaf is pretty handy with a whip), forced heroin taking, rape, a slime-ball drug-dealer named Santa Claus, voyeurism, and some terrible musical numbers courtesy of old lush Lila.Torben Bille is very memorable as the evil titular dwarf (and is liable to give those fearful of 'little people' a few sleepless nights), but, for me, the star of the whole affair is definitely the winsome Anne Sparrow, who looks great throughout. Wearing a variety of tight fitting outfits (at least until she is stripped by Olaf), Ms. Sparrow is a delight to behold. What a shame that this was her only film appearance.The Sinful Dwarf is not going to be to everyone's taste (hence its low low IMDb rating), but those of us who love obscure cinematic oddities loaded with sleaze will have a fun time with this one-of-a-kind movie.

Josh Berrett I give this movie a 10 for being the ultimate in it's genre.I have never rated a movie on IMDb before, but this movie got under my skin and really did something to my brain. Maybe I'm trying to exorcise the demon dwarf that has wriggled into my soul.I watched the uncensored version with the burned in danish subtitles. There was a full XXX close up penetration scene. Holy Sh**! One of the sicker things about the movie was that the supposed sex slaves really got into the sex with just a little encouragement. I mean they were really getting pretty enthusiastic. Something very wrong there.I felt bad, twisted and unclean after watching this movie. It has a gritty, grimy, slimy, sleaziness that makes it kind of a masterpiece.You know its something special when it's stuck in your brain days after watching it. Most of the time I forget a movie by the next day. Not this one.The only one that comes close for me to the same kind of gritty, creepy, dare I say "evil" darkness is Gummo. That said, Gummo has nothing on this movie.If you are going to take the time to watch it, you really should see the uncensored version. I mean you might as well go all the way. Part of the sickness of the movie is that it is just a vehicle for a couple of fairly hardcore porn shots. Filthy, depraved, and unforgettable.

michellelocke007 bought this movie when it was finally released on DVD. wanted to check it out first as i had heard so many deranged reviews about this nasty little film. pure exploitation at its best. loved the theme of it and that the title character was a dwarf, midget, little person, whatever one considers politically correct. the fact that torben billie used to be a fromer kiddie show host makes it all the more interesting. as the description says, he resembles a deranged jack black. with an abundance of nudity and just enough depravity to keep viewers interested, i liked the film. take it for what it is. there's no moral to the story and no happy ending. just good old fashion craziness.

Michael_Elliott Sinful Dwarf, The (1973) * 1/2 (out of 4) Danish/American co-production has a man and wife moving into a run down apartment, which is owned by a strange mother and her dwarf son (Torben Bille). What the couple doesn't know but will soon find out is that mommy and dwarf are holding women hostage, drugging them with heroin and then selling them as prostitutes. Mr. Dwarf has his eye on the new wife knowing she can bring in top dollar. You know you're watching politically incorrect exploitation when a film starts off with a dwarf using a dog to lure in a teen girl to use as a sex slave. As far as dwarfploitation movies go, this one here is certainly as trashy as they come so fans of filth will certainly want to check this out while others don't even want to think about what this thing contains. This is an extremely poor movie but then again it wasn't trying to be CITIZEN KANE. The movie is downright fun if you enjoy trashy movies but the biggest killer is that the pacing is way too slow and the movie goes on way too long at 92-minutes. Cut out fifteen or so minutes and we've got an instant classic of trash but as it is the movie isn't quite a complete winner. There's enough bizarre images to make this a must viewing and that includes all kids of nudity, politically incorrect sex, a Mae West wannabe drunk mother and of course the dwarf. Torben does a pretty good job at playing the sinful dwarf and he certainly has a grin that you won't forget. Anne Sparrow plays the wife in the film and while her acting is horrible is that what we really want to see from her? Of course not. We want something to look at and she delivers highly in that regards because she's drop dead beautiful. Again, this movie isn't going to appeal to everyone but if you even bother renting a movie called THE SINFUL DWARF then you should know what you're getting into. Show this at a movie group gathering and see at least half the people run out of the room.
