Adult films have been around in one form or another since the dawn of cinema. For years these were not really movies as much as they were more a series of short loops showing increasingly risqué behavior. The industry was forever changed with the arrival of Gerard Damiano’s Deep Throat (1972), a film that launched “The Golden Age of Porn”. The picture was feature-length and was the first of its kind to offer a plot, character development and relatively high production values. It received a theatrical release and upper-middle class mainstream audiences flocked to it, starting the “porn chic” movement of the 1970s. Damiano followed his success with The Devil in Miss Jones (1973) and remained at the forefront of the movement throughout the decade. In 1976, he entertained a new idea that would lampoon the industry he helped revolutionize with his next project Let My Puppets Come, an adaptation of the stage play Kumquats (1971), an adult-themed musical featuring a cast of puppets.

The story involves three brothers, Ned, Fred and Red, who run a successful business in New York City that falls on hard times due to the failure of a recent venture, leaving unpaid debts to a local mafia boss named “Mr. Big”. They are given twenty-four hours to settle up or face dire consequences. The brothers try to think of a way out of their predicament and land on the idea of shooting a pornographic movie. They brainstorm ideas for a plot and begin making phone calls. Their grandfather, “Gramps”, reaches out to a director named Frederico Gepetto for technical assistance. Gepetto makes new puppets to perform in the movie and later that day filming begins. What follows is a madcap day of shooting musical numbers and various sex scenes racing against the clock to finish the picture and make their fortune as filmmakers.

Let My Puppets Come is a musical comedy featuring a cast of puppets performing sexual acts on each other and then singing show tunes. There are a few human characters that do not participate in the sex scenes, including adult industry names Al Goldstein, Penny Nichols and Viju Krem. Writer/director Gerard Damiano loads the picture with jokes, puns, fake commercials and sight-gags that expand the wacky premise and keep things moving at a brisk pace. The puppets themselves are a little creepy in appearance, particularly the Pinocchio character who becomes a real boy in a truly terrifying dance number.In a weird case of fluke timing, Let My Puppets Come was released the same year Jim Henson’s The Muppet Show debuted on television. Obviously aimed at vastly different audiences, it is just strange that 1976 would bring such a puppet renaissance to viewers. Years later, Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) would revisit the idea with his mainstream feature Meet the Feebles (1989), a film that shows the harsh realities of life behind the scenes of a successful variety show in a world of puppets. Jumping ahead another few decades, Brian Henson (Muppet Treasure Island) made The Happytime Murders (2018) in which puppets and humans co-exist in Los Angeles and it explores the idea of someone targeting puppets for murder.Let My Puppets Come is the first puppet porno musical and it remains highly entertaining. The film received a theatrical release and later turned up on VHS in a highly edited version with a running time of only forty minutes. Vinegar Syndrome has restored the original camera negative and presents the film uncut for the first time with a release aimed to introduce the picture to a new audience. The picture had disappeared into obscurity for years but returns with renewed energy. Fans of quirky underground cinema will definitely want to check this one out as it is pretty creative and entertaining.
