Little Cigars

About This Movie

Little Cigars is a quirky blend of action and a touch of dark humor. The premise, featuring a gangster's former mistress teaming up with circus midgets, sets a tone that's somewhere between absurd and thrilling. The pacing is a bit uneven, with moments that really capture the chaotic charm of the characters involved. The practical effects aren’t groundbreaking, but they fit the film's offbeat style well, adding to its distinct atmosphere. Performances definitely lean into the eccentricity, and you can sense the camaraderie among the cast, which is part of what makes it stand out in the genre. It’s not your standard crime flick, and that in itself is refreshing.

Little Cigars has had a bit of a rocky road in terms of format availability, with early VHS tapes becoming quite rare as the years go by. It saw a few DVD releases but nothing too extensive, which adds to its allure for collectors. Interest in films from this quirky era tends to fluctuate, but this one has its niche following, particularly among those who appreciate its off-kilter blend of genres. Keep an eye out for original prints, as they’re harder to come by.
