No Escape
Who Killed Teddy Bear? 1965
Phoebe Cates’ father made an almost perfect, delightfully creepy psychopathia sexualis thriller that, until last year, practically nobody had seen. Why? It has Sal Mineo playing a psycho and Elaine Stritch playing a lesbian! It’s got crazy, frantic editing, wild club scenes, and a take on male sexuality far ahead of its time.
Maybe that was the problem.
