Directed by Joseph Cates • 1965 • United States
Starring Sal Mineo, Juliet Prowse, Jan Murray

Norah Drain (Juliet Prowse), a Manhattan disco hostess, is being terrorized by a stalker and obscene phone caller. NYPD Lieutenant Dave Madden (Jan Murray) takes a personal interest in her case, finding himself drawn not only to Norah but to the sordid desires of the Times Square sex district. As Norah begins to question Madden’s intentions, a sullen busboy (Sal Mineo) plunges her into a fight for her life on the streets of New York City. Evocatively shot on location in stark black and white, the daringly ahead-of-its-time WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR—presented here in its long-unseen, fully uncensored form—is a relentlessly tawdry time capsule of midsixties Times Square.
