Up Your Teddy Bear (1970)

Caught in the crosshairs of enchantment and obsession, Clyde King, an artisan of wooden toys and clandestine admirer of women, unwittingly captivates the attention of a toy industry titaness. Her fascination with King's handcrafted creations prompts her to dispatch her trusted confidante, Lyle "Skippy" Burns, to recruit this elusive toymaker. However, King's ghosts from the past rear their heads, as the influential toy tycoon eerily mirrors his mother's persona, leading him into a labyrinth of peculiar fantasies where he is at the mercy of a domineering "Mother" projection. As Skippy delves deeper into King's peculiar world, he uncovers his propensity for tailing women, leading to a myriad of convoluted attempts to lure King into the corporate fold. From parading a parade of women to even donning the guise of a lady of the night, Skippy leaves no stone unturned. Yet, each setup with a woman spirals into chaos, their encounters ending in disaster. Frustration mounting, Skippy's desperation reaches a chilling climax as he contemplates a deadly resolution — to silence Clyde King forever. The world of toys and intrigue takes a dark turn in this edge-of-your-seat tale that explores the depths of human eccentricities and the price of ambition.
