The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 2, 2014
As we saw in Shadows, [John] Cassavetes conflates the actors’ acting strategies with the characters’ interactional strategies. As actors, Tim Carey (Morgan) and Val Avery (Zelmo) take refuge in identities that have been worked up and packaged into predictable, mechanical routines before read more
Pic of the Day: “Rumble on the Docks” revisited (4)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 31, 2014
We close the week, and the first month of 2014, with another shot of Frank Mangus, the blasé torpedo of Rumble on the Docks (1956), directed by Fred F. Sears. This pic pretty much encapsulates my feelings after a trying and frustrating week. This neat little film has finally seen an official DVD re read more
Pic of the Day: “Tracks” revisited (5)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 30, 2014
It may seem silly, but the passing last night of feline internet legend Colonel Meow has me in a deep funk. As one of his many loyal minions, I wanted to honor him today by posting another pic from the Airwolf episode “Tracks.” It first aired on March 22, 1986, and was Timothy’s la read more
Video of the Week: “Crime Wave” (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 29, 2014
If you have an extra $2 lying around that you don’t know what to do with, you can spend it right here on a viewing of Andre De Toth‘s Crime Wave (1954). It would certainly be $2 well spent. Timothy, uncredited as twitching, giggling Johnny Haslett, doesn’t appear until the last hal read more
Pic of the Day: “What’s the Matter with Helen?” revisited (4)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 28, 2014
Today we revisit Curtis Harrington‘s What’s the Matter with Helen? (1971), a gem of a film if ever there was one. Harrington, a humongous Careyphile, insisted on Timothy for the brief but memorable role of the bedraggled tramp who hits up Debbie Reynolds for a hand-out in Depression-era read more
Quote of the Week (368)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 26, 2014
Pounding the pavement of Bay Ridge in hot pursuit of his own myth, Timothy Carey’s youth presaged John Travolta’s Tony Manero (Saturday Night Fever). Carey was born in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn in 1929 to a tightly knit Italian-Irish Catholic family. At age 15, Carey used his brother’s birth certificat read more
Pic of the Day: “The Treasure of Sierra Madre Street” revisited (4)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 24, 2014
Our pic of the day takes another look at the Tenspeed and Brown Shoe episode “The Treasure of Sierra Madre Street”. It was first broadcast on June 20, 1980. Escaped axe murderer Obituary Bob terrorizes Lionel Whitney, aka “Brown Shoe” (Jeff Goldblum), and Judge Alice Rynkoff read more
Pic of the Day: “Nightside” revisited (4)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 23, 2014
Today’s pic revisits Nightside (1980), the failed television series pilot directed by Bernard L. Kowalski. Timothy appears near the end as Slowboy, the coked-out pimp. He’s only on-screen about two minutes, but it’s worth the wait. Tim’s not the only legendary character acto read more
Video of the Week: “The Secret Mission”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 22, 2014
Our video of the week showcases another of Timothy’s earliest performances. It’s one of the six episodes of Cowboy G-Men in which he appeared, “The Secret Mission”. Baby boomer cowgirls and cowboys first gathered around their Saturday morning televisions for this one on Octob read more
Pic of the Day: “A Time for Killing” (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 21, 2014
Our pic today revisits Billy Cat, the “Yankee from Missourah” of Phil Karlson‘s Civil War drama A Time for Killing (1967). Billy has hit his mark, and he’s pretty happy about it. If you have the Encore Westerns channel, you can catch this entertaining potboiler there tomorro read more
Pic of the Day: “The Killing” revisited (7)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 20, 2014
Today, as we honor Dr. Martin Luther King and celebrate the achievements of the African-American community, we take another look at Stanley Kubrick‘s The Killing (1956). Hipster racehorse assassin Nikki Arcane sweet-talks the justifiably suspicious racetrack parking lot attendant (James Edward read more
Quote of the Week: A Note from Tim
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 19, 2014
This is a note written by Timothy to a fan in England by the name of Paul. It’s undated, but as he mentions he’s preparing a production of The Insect Trainer, I’m guessing it was written near the end of his life. There was another note to Paul and an autographed photo from The Worl read more
Video of the Week: “The Long Shot”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 15, 2014
This week’s video showcases one of Timothy’s earliest recorded performances. He is great as dim bulb torpedo Frankie in “The Long Shot,” the episode of Racket Squad that first aired on July 3, 1952. Also appearing are Edward Keane as his boss and Helen Spring as the mark, a s read more
Quote of the Week (365)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 12, 2014
Timothy Carey and Dan [sic] Calfa, whose faces are more readily recognisable than their names, portray “heavy heavies” as [producer Irwin] Winkler describes them, whose deathly chores are only temporarily interrupted by excursions through Beverly Hills to view the homes of Veronica Lake read more
Pic of the Day: “Peeper” revisited (5)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 9, 2014
It’s been barely a month since the last Peeper pic, but as today is my dear husband’s birthday, he gets to choose today’s pic. And he decided he wants to see Timothy all snazzy and stylish in a suit and fedora, so how could we not turn to Peeper (1976) once again? Bumbling torpedoe read more
Video of the Week: “Change of Habit” (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 8, 2014
Today, the 79th anniversary of the birth of Elvis Presley, we present Change of Habit (1969), his final feature film and the only one in which he and Timothy both appeared (not together, to our great misfortune). Tim’s scenes as the irascible grocery store manager begin at 33:50 and 1:08:17. D read more
Larry D. Mann 1922 – 2014
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 7, 2014
Very sad to hear of the death yesterday of Larry D. Mann, age 91. He was the Canadian character actor perhaps best known as the voice of Yukon Cornelius in the television Christmas classic Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964). He received a memorable manhandling from Timothy as T-Bone, the unfortu read more
Pic of the Day: “One-Eyed Jacks” behind the scenes still
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 6, 2014
Today’s pic comes to us courtesy of our friend Toby Roan of the great 50 Westerns From The 50s blog. Toby is also the author of the work-in-progress A Million Feet of Film: The Making of One-Eyed Jacks. He sent me this amazing still a while back. It’s a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the s read more
Pic of the Day: “Speedtrap” revisited (6)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 3, 2014
Today we celebrate a birthday and mourn a passing. Firstly, we want to wish a happy 84th birthday anniversary to the great Robert Loggia! He made his film debut with Paul Newman in Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956) and hasn’t looked back since. He and Timothy only made one film together, the d read more
Pic of the Day: “Naked Gun” revisited (4)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 2, 2014
Happy 2014! Let’s kick off the new year with another look at mustachioed Timothy in Naked Gun (1956), not the Leslie Nielsen cavalcade of hilarity but the low-budget Western featuring B-movie action star Willard Parker. Here we see grinning henchman Hartman helping his boss Joe Barnum (Barton read more
