What can one say about a movie like this?I feel like I've been in a pillowfight,where all of the pillows were soaked in Ether.I can't believe anyone thought that this would be a good idea.Apparently some of those guys in Hollywood,drank too much wood alcohol during prohibition.I still can't believe I saw this.OK,imagine this,if you will:A Roy Roger's style western,complete with its stupid translucent plot line,extremely lame acting,pathetic special effects(assuming there are any),lousy stunts,silly slapstick comic relief,and horrific,lunatic singing.Now,shrink all of the characters down to 1/3 their normal size.And,Viola' you have,the Terror of Tinytown.Sort of a Roy Rogers on acid,if you will(or if you won't).Although, in all honesty, when I first saw the "cowboys" riding around on shetland ponies,I nearly busted a gut laughing so hard.But, other than that,its pretty much a waste of time.

There can be a deal of ambivalence in the relationship between cop and prostitute.Being a prostitute is not in itself an offence.Soliciting for the purpose of prostitution is an offence,running a brothel is an offence,living off immoral earnings is an offence.Nonetheless a cop can have a lot of power over a streetwalker.He can arrest her,hassle her,keep her moving on,blackmail her for freebies,even take money from her.And she has little recourse.Most cops chose to turn a blind eye to all but the most blatant soliciting unless under pressure from above or from concerned citizens.The same goes for sex shows and massage parlours.A few,like Detective Wes Block,are attracted by their defiant sexuality and availability and the freedom they represent to have random uncomplicated sexual relief on tap.Like Block these men are usually separated or divorced,middle - aged and wary of intimacy and commitment.
