Network releases 'banned' 1960s movie Who Killed Teddy Bear
Probably tame by today's standards, Network is releasing the once banned Who Killed Teddy Bear from 1965.
Starring Sal Mineo, Juliet Prowse, Jan Murray and Elaine Stritch, this New York crime thriller centres around a police lieutenant who embarks on a one-man crusade to track down a depraved sex maniac after a female nightclub DJ receives a disturbing series of obscene phone calls. The race is on to find the man responsible...before he carries out threats.
It was refused a certificate due to its 'sleazy' subject matter back in the day, but looks worth the effort today as a classy period thriller with plenty of energy and a cool soundtrack. Plenty of extras too, including a short about the dangers of LSD from '67 and the original trailer. You can pick it up from 26th January 2009, priced around £14.99.
