This evening I am watching #WhoKilledTeddyBear (1965) by Joseph Cates. TCM called it a “noir”. Sure. It’s an overtly sexual psychological thriller.

Cast: Sal Mineo, Juliet Prowse, Jan Murray And Elaine Stritch. Watched on @tcmtv.bsky.social #nfotd

#nowwatching #WhoKilledTeddyBear #SalMineo A grim, stylish neo-noir with seedy New York atmosphere and taboo-sharp tension, but its bleak subject matter and uneven pacing can make it feel harsher than gripping.

I enjoy anything @eddiemuller.bsky.social screens for us on #NoirAlley. I must say, though, that #WhoKilledTeddyBear did not satiate my need for noir. So, tonight I'm screening for myself #HeWalkedByNight and I'm immediately greeted by this masterwork of John Alton.

OK.
Bruce Glover (uncredited) was the "Mull the Space Monster" in 1965's "Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster" - a classic "so bad it's good" film. 🤪

#TCM went full on Super Freak today with this movie.
More kinks than a garden hose.
It was great!

Marian and Norah in a scene from "Who Killed Teddy Bear?" They are listening to the phone ringing. The caller is likely Norah's stalker.

So did anyone in the film care about the death of Marian?

And didn't Eddie warn us that the movie was "perverty" or something like that?

It also wasn't half good.

The first time I saw the #NoirAlley film #WhoKilledTeddyBear was on the ABC 4:30 movie when I was a kid. What programming genius thought that was a good idea?!?

Good to be back, gang. See y’all next weekend (Lionel Barrymore voice) IN JAIL! #NoirAlley #TCMParty #WhoKilledTeddyBear

SOOOO happy to have #NoirAlley back!! One week is awful, but a month felt like torture indeed! See you @eddiemuller.bsky.social and fellow noiristas next week for #Caged! #TCMParty #WhoKilledTeddyBear

I'm sorry Prose didn't make more films. I genuinely liked her on film, and this was a starring role. She was decent in it.

in the words of General Buck Turgidson, "I don't think it's quite fair to condemn the whole program because of a single slip up"

Watched last night but joinined in a bit this morn, too. So wanted to thank @eddiemuller.bsky.social for the terrific info on #WhoKilledTeddyBear. I loved learning about those amazing shots of Sal Mineo running thru the streets & how he literally had to keep himself safe! #NoirAlley #TCMParty

I concur

That’s how I feel about #Caged. See you in two, #NoirAlley folks. #TCMParty #WhoKilledTeddyBear

You know something ....
... taken for what it is, #WhoKilledTeddyBear wasn't half bad. Especially as a snapshot of mid 60s New York nightlife and surroundings.
Until next week folks. Enjoy and stay safe.

Ditto.
@eddiemuller.bsky.social, I appreciate the noir history angle and interesting cinematography, but please put this on the do not encore list.

Good or garbage, Eddie?
I think it's very good.

That about covers it

Fascinating, strange movie. The connection to Taxi Driver makes sense. Will definitely rewatch. #tcmparry #whokilledteddybear

Though it was a flop. I thought it was striking and emotionally engaging.

Go for The Art when you don’t have a script, I guess. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #WhoKilledTeddyBear

I do not ever have to see this movie again.
