Who Killed Teddy Bear?

Presented on 35mm—Post-screening Happy Hour with 50% off wine

Newly restored and presented on 35mm, complete with previously censored scenes, Who Killed Teddy Bear is a campy, sleazy, and underrated neo-noir cult favourite about a 1960s New York City police detective investigating a stalker who has been harassing people in NY’s disco scene. The result is a provocative cult-classic that needs to be seen to be believed.

Join us for a post-screening Happy Hour at Take 3 Wine Bar & Café—just show your ticket at the bar to get 50% off any wine on our menu. Meet your neighbors, make new friends, and raise a glass to Queer cinema!

"Credibly claimed as an ur-Taxi Driver... Teddy Bear could be described as an exercise in hard-boiled sleaze... skillfully executed, [filled with] utterly unabashed tabloid sensationalism".
J. Hoberman, New York Times
"Pretty much everyone in [Who Killed Teddy Bear?] has some kind of sexual hang-up or perversion... The acting [is] uniformly excellent... Juliet Prowse is quite electrifying on screen, you just can’t keep your eyes off her... Sal Mineo is fantastic."
Justin Richards, Blueprint Review (UK)

This film is part of the Out There series.
