It's a Small World is a 1950 American film directed by William Castle.

Production

Producer Peter Scully and director William Castle launched a global search for midget actors, resulting in the receipt of 300 inquiries and the casting of Paul Dale and Anne Sholter. The midgets were consulted as technical advisers and helped provide perspectives on challenges commonly faced by midgets in their relations with taller people. Castle was careful to avoid exploitation of the midgets, saying: "We never mention the word 'freak'.

Production of the film was conducted in secrecy and began in early November 1949, completed by the end of the month.

The film's budget was slightly more than $100,000 and was financed by a $50,000 loan that Scully and Castle obtained from friends.

Scully and Castle had planned a series of three films starring Dale, with the next feature to be titled "One in a Million", but the projects did not materialize and Dale never appeared in another feature film.
