Pufnstuf

This feature length musical spun off from Sid and Marty Krofft's bizarre, life-sized puppet TV show plays like a grade-school remake of "The Wizard of Oz" on acid. Shot on the same painted backdrops and flat sets as the series, it feels less like a movie than a continuing episode with guest stars (including "Mama" Cass Elliot singing the psychedelic interlude). Apart from the sheer weirdness of entire enterprise (just what stuff were they puffin' when they came up with this?), it's a painfully sloppy picture, but Billie Hayes almost powers it single-handedly in a cackling, kinetic performance as Witchiepoo.
