The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 3, 2013
Tim Carey and Seymour Cassel had a number of personal conflicts, and a few fights almost broke out between them. Carey was a notorious ham and scene-stealer, averse to direction, who more or less did whatever he felt like doing in his scenes; Cassel was similar, and the combination was volatile. (By read more
Pic of the Day: “East of Eden” (1955) revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 1, 2013
Today our pic takes another look at Joe the bouncer from Elia Kazan‘s East of Eden (1955). In marked contrast to his rumpled just-woke-up look from earlier in the film, Joe is now freshly groomed, snappily dressed and raring to begin another night of tossing drunks out on their ears. I’ read more
Pic of the Day: “Daniel Boone” promo ad
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 28, 2013
Today’s pic is my latest eBay score! It’s a page from some Hollywood trade paper, announcing Timothy’s “comedy guest star” appearance on Daniel Boone (“The Blackbirder” episode, as bounty hunter Lute Purdy) that night on NBC-TV. We can then surmise that the read more
Video of the Week: “D.C. Cab”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 27, 2013
Our video of the week is Joel Schumacher‘s D.C. Cab (1983) in its entirety. Which is actually a shame, because for once, the entirety of one of Timothy’s films is not what is relevant to our interests here at this particular little spot in cyberspace. What you want to do here is fast-for read more

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 26, 2013
Today we take another look at Alaska Seas (1954), the nautical adventure directed by Jerry Hopper.

Wycoff comes a read more
Pic of the Day: “Shock Treatment” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 25, 2013
Our pic for today is a rarely-seen color transparency for Shock Treatment (1964), the weird psychological thriller directed by Denis Sanders and starring Stuart Whitman. This pic is unusual for several reasons. Firstly, the film is in black and white. Secondly, Lauren Bacall does not appear in the f read more

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 24, 2013
Zappa still thought that the best way to get his music played was to write film scores and in June 1961 another opportunity presented itself: The World’s Greatest Sinner, one of the most eccentric (rather than experimental) films ever made. It was an independent movie produced, directed, writt read more
Pic of the Day: “Francis in the Haunted House” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 22, 2013
Today’s pic revisits Francis in the Haunted House (1956), starring Mickey Rooney as the put-upon sidekick to the famous talking mule. Timothy, in the “Igor” role as Hugo, silent, lumbering minion of the castle, is showing a gaggle of not-too-bright cops – including Dick Winsl read more

Our pic of the day is another from the Kung Fu episode “Ambush,” first aired on April 4, 1975. Bad guy Bix Courtney is under the wary eye of saloon manager Fred (Gene Dynarski). Dynarski has been a solid television mainstay since the 1960s. Trekkies will remember his appearances in both read more
Video of the Week: “The Wild One” (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 20, 2013
This week’s video revisits The Wild One (1953), directed by Laslo Benedek and starring, who else, Marlon Brando.

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 19, 2013
Our pic for today revisits Crime Wave (1954), aka The City is Dark, filmed in 1952 by Andre’ De Toth but released in 1954. Timothy and Gene Nelson are being hauled away by Sterling Hayden and Mack Chandler, as Phyllis Kirk looks on. Tim has just taken an epic tumble down a flight of stairs, ap read more
Pic of the Day: “He’ll Never See Daylight” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 18, 2013
Today’s pic takes another look at Matty Trifon, the glove-wearing, chicken-loving mobster of “He’ll Never See Daylight,” the inaugural episode of Baretta that first aired on January 17, 1975. Matty is in a somber mood as takes a phone call from his boss Frank Cassell (Joseph read more

Carey spoke in pidgin Deutsch in the lobby of Munich’s most luxurious hotel to Germany’s leading actress, Maria Schell. He says: “I didn’t know she was famous. I saw a pretty girl and tried to date her. She said she was busy that night?” - George Murray, “Loop Movies,” Chicago read more
Pics of the Day: “Ain’t We Got Fun”, “Tarzana” and “Fast-Walking” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 15, 2013
Since I usually don’t do a post on Saturdays, I am treating you to three pics today for the price of one! Just because I had them, and they were too good not to share. Our death scene theme shuffles off its mortal coil with Timothy dying spectacularly in, respectively, The Untouchables episode read more
Pic of the Day: “The Blue Angels” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 14, 2013
We continue this week’s death scene theme with “The Blue Angels,” the episode of Charlie’s Angels that first aired on May 4, 1977. I posted this one a few months ago, but how could I not include it in an examination of Timothy’s death scenes? He shows up at the beginnin read more
Video of the Week: “One-Eyed Jacks” (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 13, 2013
This week’s video carries on the death scene theme with, well, Timothy’s death scene from One-Eyed Jacks (1961), directed by Marlon Brando. I’ve posted this before, but it certainly bears repeating. There are some interesting comments on this video’s YouTube page from TimR read more

Pic of the Day: “Across the Wide Missouri” (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 11, 2013
Our pics this week are going to have something of a theme – Timothy’s death scenes. He gave his all in his death scenes. He once quoted Marlon Brando as telling him, “Tim, you’re the only actor that I ever worked with that even in death, you move.” His first official sc read more

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 10, 2013
Tim Carey, 27 Not at All Shy. His Publicity man said of Tim Carey: “He needs a press agent like he needs a hole in the head.

Pic of the Day: “Minnie and Moskowitz” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 8, 2013
The work week ends with another look at Morgan Morgan, the lonely vagabond of John Cassavetes‘ Minnie and Moskowitz (1971). Moskowitz (Seymour Cassel) encounters him at a late-night diner near the start of the film. He is quite a character, to say the least. As engaging as the rest of the fil read more
