The Sinful Dwarf is a grim exploitation film from Denmark, also know in Denmark as Dværgen and has the alternative name Abducted Bride in America.
In it a young married couple move into a boarding house ran by Olaf (Torben Bille) and his mother. Unbeknownst to the married couple that Olaf and his mother are running a brothel hidden within the boarding house.
They also smuggle heroin and use some of it to keep the girls they have addicted and to prevent them from running away. They soon take a liking to the new girl and plot to kidnap her while also getting her husband to help unknowingly smuggle their drugs for them.
The Sinful Dwarf is a bit of a rough film to watch because of its content, while also being a bit of a wild film with Olaf being childlike and playful but hiding his more devious side, hence being labelled the Sinful Dwarf.
Torben Bille who plays Olaf was apparently in his day the sole dwarf actor in all of Denmark! I've also read that prior to doing more adult films he was a star of a children's TV show, though not seen any proof to this. He passed away at 47 in 1993 so we may never know if that was true or not.
There is a blu ray release of this movie from Severin Films which has the XXX cut of it which is only about 4 or 5 minutes longer but includes the hardcore inserts which I don't think are necessary to this film though others may disagree.
Severin did I believe try to track down people who were involved in this film but it proved difficult, either they were dead or used aliases. They did talk to someone who knew a bit about it but they stopped communicating when they saw the fake documentary about the Sinful Dwarf destroying their lives and decided he didn't want to be involved! Though again not sure how true this is.
I would say it is a film you may probably watch once and that maybe enough but it lingers in your head in a what the hell did I watch kinda way.
