Who Killed Teddy Bear - 1965 - 7/10

Aspiring actress Norah (Juliet Prowse) finds a DJ gig at a busy New York nightclub.
Someone, however, is stalking her, and keeps phoning her home, then the club.
Club owner (Elaine Stritch) offers streetwise advice, waiter (Sal Mineo) is also sympathetic.
Much is part and parcel of New York in the 60’s, a seedy, abrasive environment.
Police try to help, but they are cynical and overworked.
Film is adept at offering various suspects.
One also gets an eye-opening look at Broadway, and current shows, as Norah walks from one audition to another.
Likewise, Times Square, with its burlesque clubs, XXX theaters, adult bookstores.
Sal Mineo in peak form in this part Noir, part grindhouse, pure sleaze, leaving us as voyeurs of perverse sexuality.
