Plot

Owing a mob boss half a million dollars that must be paid within 24 hours, a group of executives comes up with ideas for, and films, a pornographic movie.

Cast

Background

While Damiano may have been more noted for the Caballero studios' project Deep Throat , he created Let My Puppets Come using both human and puppet actors, and was perhaps the first of its kind in the United States. [2] The title was intended as a parody of the 1976 Broadway musical Let My People Come and the film was released the same year as the first airing of the television series The Muppet Show , being referred to as "a sexy muppet movie." [3]

Reception

Robert Firsching of Allmovie called the film "light-hearted", noting that the director "uses the novelty of a cast consisting mostly of Muppet-style marionettes". While remarking that the plot is a standard one of producers trying to create a film that will bring attention to their studio, he concludes that "Damiano keeps the style breezy and charming enough that the film is unlikely to offend many potential viewers". [4]
