A SWINGIN’ SUMMER (1965) James Stacy, William Wellman, Jr., Raquel Welch, Quinn O’Hara. Welch’s first movie! A group of ambitious teens take over a resort and try to turn it into a “hot spot.” They hire a bunch of well-known rock and roll acts, including a pre-fame Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Empty-headed but fun 1960s’ Juvenile schlock. Welch was just a baby! Lots of schlocky songs. Technicolor, from 35mm.. WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR (1965) Sal Mineo, Juliet Prowse, Jan Murray, Elaine Stritch. A superb exploitation film! Mineo is great as an odd busboy who has sexual problems related to childhood events. He becomes obsessed with a disc jockey at the disco where he works. This leads to obscene phone calls, voyeurism, trips to the porn shop and an adult movie palace. A police detective is similarly obsessed with sexual materials, leading him to become personally involved in the case. This is a hard-hitting gritty JD movie of unusual intensity. Wow. From 16mm.
