PRODUCT INFORMATION
Norah Drain (Juliet Prowse, G.I. Blues), a Manhattan disco hostess, finds herself the victim of a stalker and obscene phone caller. NYPD Lieutenant Dave Madden (Jan Murray, Fear City) overhears her complaints at the precinct and takes a personal interest in Drain’s case, finding himself drawn not only to Drain but the sordid desires of the Times Square sex district. As Drain begins to question the intentions of Madden, a sullen busboy at her workplace (Sal Mineo, Rebel Without a Cause) reveals himself as her stalker, putting her in a fight for her life on the streets of New York City.
Directed by noted television and Broadway producer Joseph Cates and co-written by The Doom Patrol and Guardians of the Galaxy co-creator Arnold Drake, WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR? is a relentlessly tawdry time capsule of mid-60s Times Square, evocatively shot on location, in stark black and white, by Joseph C. Brun (Edge of the City). Peerlessly ahead of its time for 1965, WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR? was censored shortly after its original theatrical release and has since only been available on video in its edited version. Cinématographe is proud to present the world blu-ray and 4K UHD debut of Joseph Cates’s seminal New York City thriller in its completely uncensored theatrical release version, adding back several minutes of never-on-video material, newly restored from original 35mm negative materials.

Shipping
No, we only ship inside the US
Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.
We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.
Product
All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.
Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.
Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.
If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
Other
We do not sell bootlegs. All product arrives from the distributor or is directly from the filmmakers. All items are new and sealed. Some indie titles or signed editions may not have shrinkwrap.
