Per IMDB, it is a dubbed 1951 live-action Italian monstrosity (original title "Sette nani alla riscossa") that one reviewer on the site calls "an amazingly campy piece of cheap schlock." Yes, its is supposed to be loosely based on the Grimms tale, though they took more than their share of liberties. (Apparently, one running "gag" involves an enormously fat woman falling onto one of the dwarfs...now, that's comedy!) :-\

Nice Bugs/Daffy reference there -- one of my favorite late Looney Tunes. I love Daffy's deadpan, but barely controlled responses as the SNowman is manhandling him. ("You're hurting me....put me down, pleathe...") :)

How did this one escape MST3K?
