Quote of the Week (89)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 21, 2013
I recently heard from a fellow named Richard Luzzi, who shared a wonderful story about meeting Timothy in El Monte in the late 1950′s. Just a few more details about when I met Tim. He must have just been finishing work on The World’s Greatest Sinner on the El Monte Mall on the corner of read more
Pic of the Day: “Fire Man” revisited (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 19, 2013
We close the week with another look at Cameron, the under-handed auto yard operator from “Fire Man,” the episode of The Greatest American Hero that first graced television screens on May 6, 1981. Garage doors are opening and closing all by themselves and Cameron is totally flummoxed. Th read more
Pic of the Day: “Encounter at Boot Hill” revisited (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 18, 2013
Today’s pic is another from “Encounter at Boot Hill,” the episode of Rawhide that first aired on September 14, 1965. Ill-tempered deputy Ed Walker is being restrained from punching out spineless Jethroe Kane (Peter Haskell). Harvard man Haskell received a Bachelor of Arts degree i read more
Video of the Week: “Paths of Glory” trial scene, in French
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 17, 2013
Our video for this week is the trial scene from Stanley Kubrick‘s Paths of Glory (1957). The big difference here is that it has been dubbed into French! We’ve heard Timothy dubbed into Italian before, but I do believe this is the first time some French dubbing has appeared on the blog. C read more
Pic of the Day: “The Treasure of Sierra Madre Street” revisited (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 16, 2013
Our pic today takes another look at the Tenspeed and Brown Shoe episode “The Treasure of Sierra Madre Street” (see what they did there?). It first aired on June 20, 1980. Obituary Bob and his pal Dean, aka “Tokar the Magnificent” or something like that (Michael C. Gwynne) hav read more
Pic of the Day: “The Outfit” revisited (4)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 15, 2013
It’s Tax Day, hooray! This publicity still from John Flynn‘s The Outfit (1973) may be expressing what many of us are feeling today. “How much more do you want, IRS? How much more??“ Timothy puts all quirks aside and plays it dead straight here as Jake Menner, one of the nast read more
Quote of the Week (88)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 14, 2013
Whether looming over the strangely invertebrate James Dean as the muscle of the local brothel in East of Eden or buying the farm in a whisker-quick saloon shoot-out with Marlon Brando in One-Eyed Jacks, the disheveled, vertiginous Timothy Carey performed, through much of his career, as the kind of t read more
Pic of the Day: “The Gentleman” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 12, 2013
It’s way past time that we took another look at “The Gentleman,” the Gunsmoke episode that was first broadcast on June 7, 1958. Troublemaker supreme Tiller Evans is about to get his clock cleaned by Marshal Matt Dillon (James Arness). Right in front of Delmonico’s too! That c read more
Pic of the Day: “The Killing of a Chinese Bookie” revisited (4)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 11, 2013
Today’s pic revisits John Cassavetes’ The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976), the enigmatic portrait of a man in crisis but who’s trying to avoid it like all get-out. Timothy is rather unforgettable as Flo, the glad-handing muscle of some rather inept Hollywood gangsters. Here he n read more
Video of the Week: “Nightside” (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 10, 2013
This week’s video is of extremely bad quality, but it’s the only one left on YouTube from Nightside (1980), the TV movie directed by the fabled Bernard L. Kowalski. Thankfully, it showcases Timothy’s great scene near the end as the coked-up psycho-pimp from hell, Slowboy. Very sad read more
Pics of the Day: “Bayou” promos
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 9, 2013
It’s two-for-the-price-of-one day here at the blog! Today we’re posting some promotional material from Bayou (1957), “presenting Tim Carey”. The first is a still featuring Tim facing down Peter Graves, while Lita Milan glares up at Tim (hope the poor girl didn’t get a c read more
Annette Funicello 1942 – 2013
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 8, 2013
Sadly, we have another passing to report. Eternal teen Annette Funicello passed away this morning at age 70, after a long struggle with multiple sclerosis. She and Timothy both appeared in Bikini Beach (1964), Beach Blanket Bingo (1965), and Head (1968), never sharing a scene together, unfortunately read more
Quote of the Week (87)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 7, 2013
Of course we’re here to see Carey shake and rattle like a Santeria shaman, and that’s what he does. He’s also sweet and fatherly at times–nervously maniacal at others. His truck with deviltry has the same desperate ring as it does for Harvey Keitel in BAD LIEUTENANT or Captai read more
Pic of the Day: “Finger Man” revisited (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 5, 2013
We close out this rather eventful week with another look at Lou Terpe, the ill-tempered torpedo of Finger Man (1955). His boss, Dutch Becker (Forrest Tucker), is attempting to restrain him from going gonzo on the “finger man” of the title, Casey Martin (Frank Lovejoy). Lovejoy, from the read more
Roger Ebert 1942 – 2013
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 4, 2013
I was very sad to learn today of the death of film critic and screenwriter Roger Ebert, after a long battle with cancer. I for one cut my cinematic teeth on At the Movies, the movie review show that he co-hosted with the late Gene Siskel. It helped me learn to cast a critical eye at film and to appr read more
Video of the Week: “Peeper” trailer
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 3, 2013
This week’s video is the trailer for Peeper (1975), directed by Peter Hyams and starring Michael Caine and Natalie Wood. The great Guy Marks narrates and speaks the credits in the actual film, doing a stellar Humphrey Bogart impersonation. The aspect ratio is a little wonky, but it still works read more
Regarding yesterday’s post.
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 2, 2013
My goodness, I’m a better prankster than I thought I was! I can’t believe so many of you fell for it. I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist! No worries – nothing has changed, Timothy still rules my world, the book projects with Romeo are still happening, and this blog, like my h read more
A sad announcement.
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 1, 2013
It is with deep sadness and great regret that I make the following announcement. This will be the last blog post. I am closing the blog down. I just have too much on my plate right now to keep up with it the way it deserves. Not to mention the fact that I’m just not into Timothy that much anym read more

Pic of the Day: “Beware! No Trespassing” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 29, 2013
Our pic for today revisits the Cowboy G-Men episode “Beware! No Trespassing,” which first aired on November 1, 1952. Timothy’s henchman Benton is imparting vital information to his boss (Robert Lowery) and fellow henchman (X Brands), and looking rather silly as he does so. Another read more
