Parts I didn't get to see.

I remember seeing this movie YEARS ago but just reccently saw PART of it on YouTube, but a bog hunk of it was not available.

The part where he was in the doll house was not there but I know I remember that.

What I want to know is what happened to his wife? It seems like I remember her going out with other men, and telling him something like "it's just innocent." While he was in the dollhouse.

Did that happen or did she saty true to him?

And also the other question I had, The part I was watching on YouTube stopped when the doctor SUPPOSEDLY stopped him from shrinking, When does he start shrinking again?

Most people see things that are and ask "why?", I dream things that never were and ask, "why not?"

the next part ( after scott seems to have stopped shrinking) is often cut from the tv version. Scott has an affair with clare. a beautiful blonde midget from the circus. He has accepted his life as a midget when he discovers to his horror that the shrinking has just started up again and that clare is now taller than him!

Next scene cuts to scott in the dollhouse approximately 2-4" in height. They never really go into any detail as to why he started to shrink again but apparently the antitoxin they created only stopped the shrinking for awhile.

On a side note...I wish scott had kept seeing clare even after the shrinking continued.She was a honey! I iwshed that scott could have been living in a dollhuse in clares trailer instead of back with louise! Clare understood what little people had to go thru and I bet she would have taken better care of tiny scott than his wife did. ( lou did let the cat in! almost as if she wanted her little probem to go away)

***SPOILER ALERT***

No, no, no!!! Louise did NOT intentinaly let the cat in. No. She started to go out, realized she forgot something and the cat snuck in,

Semi-Spoiler

It looked to me as if Louise really did love him. I would guess theirs wasn't a perfect marriage, but it really hurt her when she thought he had died. I do feel the brother didnt really care too much about him. His attitude was, "He's gone let's just move on" I feel he wanted the Little problem to go away. I though he was very unsympothetic.
