- CuriosidadesThe print released on home video by Network is missing a few minutes of sleaze content. The original theatrical version has images of pornographic books and magazines, as well as explicit lobby cards displayed by a Times Square adult movie theater.
- PifiasDuring the first scene set at the discotheque, Juliet Prowse puts on a new record after we see the crowd dancing to the first song. However, minutes later, we see the crowd dancing to the first song again.
- Citas
Lt. Dave Madden: Some are fetishists, some are sadists, some are masochists, then there are the simple voyeurs, the pediophiliacs, but even that's too neat, too much like rules. So we have the combinations. And I'm not talking about your uncle Charlie, who buys pin-up calendars, I mean the complicated pairing. The sado-masochist, the voyeur-masochist, the exhibitionists, the necrophiliacs.
Norah Dain: You seem to know a lot about these things.
Lt. Dave Madden: Someone should.
- Versiones alternativas3 minutes of the film were cut following premiere showings, resulting in a 91-minute version which deletes some scenes of Sal Mineo working out and swimming at the gym where he encounters Juliet Prowse. The 2024 4K restoration of the film restores this material.

Yet this is a remarkable film, and much better than I'd anticipated (I'd never seen it before until recently). Shot in the winter of 1964/65, it's ahead of its time and covers subject matter taboo even now, certainly for mid-'60s Hollywood... It's B&W photography is as haunted and moody as a PSYCHO-era horror film, but TEDDY BEAR has an organic quality about it most Hollywood movies don't have today and didn't have yesterday --- and it reminds those of us old enough to remember of how the cities, from the mid-'60s to the '70s, were beginning to fall apart in the wake of JFK's death and the rise of the incomprehensible Vietnam war (where all our tax dollars were going) -- when peep shows and adult "book stores", with their wares on display in the shop windows, popped up in even "nice" business districts beside Tiffany's, creating a tense and fascinating shabbiness that helped define the schism that was "the '60s".
So the cultural meltdown wasn't just about the hippies and their drugs and the acid rock and the protests which would soon follow this movie (not that there was much of a reaction to the film itself, as few people saw it then); for all the romanticizing of that decade (some of which is understandable), Walter Cronkite wasn't entirely wrong when he called the 1960s "a slum of a decade" and TEDDY BEAR hints at that better than most industry films of the time, and serves to remind us that the world of that era wasn't really all that innocent (even if it was a bit naive in other ways). Such was that echo chamber, filled with its cacophony of voices, that was the '60s -- where you had two decades seemingly shoved into one. And with this movie squarely on the cusp of both.
Good acting, taut direction, and a lot of layers going on at one time...
