Quote of the Week
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 28, 2014
(Sorry to be late with this, I was out of town yesterday!) The OLD SENTIMENTALITY said that anybody who was famous was a celebrity and therefore possessed glamour and excitement. It didn’t matter what we personally thought of them. We idolized movie stars because they were movie stars and if i read more
Pic of the Day: “Fortune City” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 25, 2014
Ending the week is another look at “Fortune City,” the episode of It Takes a Thief that was first broadcast on February 2, 1970. Creepy Art makes a pass at kidnapped Mona (Stefanie Powers), unaware that series protagonist Alexander Mundy (Robert Wagner) is lurking in the rafters. Powers read more
Video of the Week: “Mama Cooper”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 23, 2014
Our video this week is the second of the two Daniel Boone episodes in which Timothy appears. He has a much less prominent role in this one, “Mama Cooper”, first airing on February 5, 1970. He was deep into filming Tweet’s Ladies of Pasadena at the time, which could explain it. Tim read more
Pic of the Day: “Speedtrap” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 22, 2014
For mindless summer drive-in fare, you could hardly do better than Earl Bellamy‘s Speedtrap (1977). Here Larry Loomis, Italian gangster (??), has been sucker-punched by private eye Pete Novick (Joe Don Baker) and is none too happy about it. Baker, from Groesbeck, Texas, has been a solid prese read more

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 20, 2014
Most movie companies like to get the big action scenes – such as these battles – over with early. But, because of [Bill] Travers‘ accident, Duel at Diablo has had to postpone the battles until his return. So they are shooting the other stuff first. I watched as James Garner and Tim read more
Pic of the Day: “Gypsy Traders” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 17, 2014
Today’s pic looks in once again on “Gypsy Traders,” the episode of Cowboy G-Men that first aired on February 28, 1953. The titular gypsies are worried about a big court case that threatens to take away their copper mining rights. Timothy must have had some difficulty early in his read more
Video of the Week: “Teacher of Outlaws”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 16, 2014
Here’s one from the archives, in honor of the birthday anniversary of the legendary Barbara Stanwyck. She was born on this date in 1907. It’s the episode of The Big Valley known as “Teacher of Outlaws”, premiering on February 2, 1966 and directed by Michael Ritchie. Timothy h read more
PIc of the Day: “Rumble on the Docks” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 14, 2014
Our pic of the day takes another look at Fred F. Sears‘ Rumble on the Docks (1956), kind of a teenage On the Waterfront with a side of West Side Story thrown in for good measure. Racketeer Joe Brindo (Michael Granger) and his torpedo Frank Mangus are pleased with the outcome of a big court cas read more
Quote of the Week
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 13, 2014
Tweet’s Ladies of Pasadena may be singular. Tweets may be plural. It either refers to a feature-length film or a series of shorts. Tweet’s Ladies of Pasadena is so obscure that Mike White from Cashiers du Cinemart drove 10+ hours to see a screening in Philadelphia. Tweet’s Ladies of read more
Pic of the Day: “Paths of Glory” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 11, 2014
Turner Classic Movies is observing the 100th anniversary of World War I all this month. Tonight they are airing Stanley Kubrick‘s Paths of Glory (1957), 5:00 p.m. PST, 8:00 p.m. EST. Pvt. Ferol makes his painful way to the firing squad, accompanied by Father Dupree (Emile Meyer). You owe it t read more
Pic of the Day: “Echo Park” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 10, 2014
Today we take another look at Timothy’s last feature film, Echo Park (1986), directed by Robert Dornhelm. Vinnie the pizza slinger is on the phone with his unhappy employee Jonathan (Tom Hulce). A new film by the same name has just been released, but does not appear to be a remake or have any read more
Video of the Week: “The Blackbirder”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 9, 2014
As promised, here is the Daniel Boone episode “The Blackbirder” in its entirety. It first aired on October 3, 1968. It showcases one of Timothy’s best comedic performances – heck, one of his best performances, period. From the episode’s first moments, when Tim lopes in read more
Pic of the Day: “Revolt in the Big House” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 8, 2014
Our pic today takes another look at Revolt in the Big House (1958), the low-budget prison yarn directed by R.G. Springsteen. Big man on campus Bugsy Kyle holds forth while his lackeys Red (John Dennis, in the back) and Al (Sam Edwards) look on in approval. My MSTie pals will recognize Edwards from read more
Pic of the Day: “The Blackbirder” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 7, 2014
We kick off the week with another look at one of Timothy’s finest performances, that of bounty hunter Lute Purdy in the Daniel Boone episode “The Blackbirder”. It debuted on October 3, 1968. As I believe I’ve said before, Tim walks away with this episode tucked neatly into h read more

Pic of the Day: “Bayou” revisited`
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 3, 2014
Sorry to have been missing this week! I’ve been down with a sinus infection. I’m feeling better but still not quite up to a detailed post with lots of links. So instead, here is a shot of Timothy from Bayou (1957), grimacing. Just what I needed to see today! Hope you did too. Have a hap read more
Quote of the Week
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 29, 2014
His noir work in 1957, however, was limited to a two-minute morsel in the Russell Rouse prison yarn House of Numbers. Star Jack Palance, himself a scary guy in most roles, looks positively intimidated by Carey in a scene in which they play San Quentin cellmates. Carey sets the mood by spitting a cig read more
Pic of the Day: “The Boy and the Pirates” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 27, 2014
Turner Classic Movies ends this month’s spotlight on pirate films tonight with Bert I. Gordon‘s The Boy and the Pirates (1960)! 7 pm Pacific, 10 pm Eastern. Morgan, that scurvy dog, will be very upset with you if you miss it. Very. So unless you’re in the mood for a red-hot poker read more
Pic of the Day: “Beach Blanket Bingo” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 26, 2014
Today I needed to see a pic of Timothy punching someone out. So here he is as South Dakota Slim from Beach Blanket Bingo (1965). He is protecting Sugar Kane (Linda Evans) at all costs, which is weird because minutes earlier he was attempting to cut her in half with a buzzsaw. A whack on the head wil read more
Video of the Week: Stanley Kubrick Tribute
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 25, 2014
New videos featuring Timothy are getting harder to come by, but I did find this one and it’s a gem. It’s a nicely put together tribute to Stanley Kubrick. Tim can be glimpsed in scenes from The Killing (1956) and Paths of Glory (1957). It’s also slightly NSFW, so forewarned is fore read more
