Our video for this week is a look at the Dead Flowers art exhibit at the PARTICIPANT INC gallery in New York City, recorded by James Kalm on June 20, 2010.

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 26, 2012
Our pic for today (don’t forget to click to embiggen for all the pics) is another view from the Kung Fu episode “Ambush,” which first aired on April 4, 1975. Timothy’s bad guy Bix Courtney may spend the bulk of the episode in Jennie Malone’s (Rhonda Fleming) saloon, lyi read more
Pic of the Day: “Flight to Hong Kong” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 25, 2012
Starting off the work week is another look at Flight to Hong Kong (1956), directed by Joseph M. Newman. Timothy’s sleazy thug-for-hire Lagarto and his pal Cappy (Bob Hopkins) are eager to open what Tony Dumont (Rory Calhoun) wants them to think is a suitcase full of diamonds. It isn’t. read more
Quote of the Week (32)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 24, 2012
This week’s quote is from a recent interview with Alice Friedland, who portrayed Sherry, one of Cosmo Vitelli’s “entourage of biscuits,” in John Cassavetes‘ The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976). It is presented without comment but with much blushing and uncontrollable read more
Pic of the Day: “One-Eyed Jacks” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 22, 2012
We close the work week with another promotional still from Marlon Brando‘s only directorial effort, One-Eyed Jacks (1961). If I am not mistaken, this scene does not appear in the finished film; at least I don’t remember it (there is a handwritten notation on the back of the photograph: & read more
Pic of the Day: “Rumble on the Docks” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 21, 2012
Today’s pic is another shot from Rumble on the Docks (1956), sort of a teenage rock ‘n roll version of On the Waterfront (1954). Timothy is Frank Mangus, the muscle behind waterfront boss Joe Brindo (Michael Granger). Mangus’ preferred method of interaction with any type of furnitu read more
Video of the Week: “Fast-Walking” (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 20, 2012
EDITOR’S NOTE 10/11/12: Has been removed by the user. Sorry about that. Speaking of Fast-Walking (1982), here it is in its entirety! Not sure how this has managed to stay on YouTube for so long. Enjoy it before it gets taken down! Timothy first appears about 30 minutes in. Fast-Walking was dir read more
A day late but no less heartfelt.
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 20, 2012
The Timothy Carey Experience wishes a very happy 82nd birthday anniversary to the lovely and supremely talented Gena Rowlands! She was married to John Cassavetes from 1954 until his death in 1989. It is safe to say that she was his muse. The following delightful photographs are from Cassavetes on Ca read more
Pic of the Day: “Hellgate” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 19, 2012
Today’s pic wrings another post out of Timothy’s fleeting appearance in Hellgate (1952), directed by Charles Marquis Warren. The jig is up for Tim’s uncredited henchman, but he is not going quietly. Also appearing here are Sterling Hayden, Joan Leslie and James Anderson. Hellgate read more
Pic of the Day: “Fast-Walking” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 18, 2012
I was very saddened to learn of the death yesterday of actor Susan Tyrrell. Like Timothy, she was a free spirit who could not be put in a box. Her only film with Tim was Fast-Walking (1982). Regretfully, they did not appear onscreen together. Our pic of the day nonetheless is from that film and is d read more
Quote of the Week (33)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 17, 2012
I have always had a unique connection with my father, a bond that began with my very first breath. The spring of 1961 would be a trying year for my family. My father was in the throes of making his first feature film, The World’s Greatest Sinner, and my mother would give birth to twins: Romeo read more
Pic of the Day: “Sidewinder” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 15, 2012
It’s about time to take another look at Timothy’s very brief appearance in the Cowboy G-Men episode “Sidewinder,” which was first aired on May 2, 1953. He portrays a prisoner begging not to be sent to the stockade at an Army post. I apologize for the poor quality of the shot read more
Pic of the Day: “Rio Conchos” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 14, 2012
Today we revisit Rio Conchos (1964) and Timothy’s disreputable cantina proprietor Chico. Nothing phases Chico too much, as long as his dinner is not interrupted and he gets something out of it, preferably monetary. Rio Conchos was directed by Gordon Douglas, who helmed such notable films as read more
“Video” of the Week: “Head” interview
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 13, 2012
This week’s video is another that is not really a video at all. It’s the audio of a radio interview Timothy did to promote The Monkees‘ film Head (1968), conducted by Dick Stroud for The Hollywood Report. Annette Funicello can be heard here as well. It’s a rare treat to hear read more
Pic of the Day: “Set Up City” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 12, 2012
Today we revisit “Set Up City,” the second of four Baretta episodes in which Timothy appears. It premiered on October 29, 1975. He portrays grumpy jewel thief Joe Dineen, always on the lookout for that perfect job that will set him up for life and hopefully also get rid of that pesky Bar read more
Pic of the Day: “The Blackbirder” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 11, 2012
A friend of the blog reminded me recently about this great episode of Daniel Boone, first broadcast on October 3, 1968. Timothy completely steals the show as bounty hunter Lute Purdy. This episode was directed by William Wiard, veteran TV workhorse who directed 36 episodes of the Daniel Boone serie read more
Quote of the Week (34)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 10, 2012
“Loathsome,” “repulsive” and “most socially undesirable” have all been tossed around in various film guides attempting to describe the late character actor Timothy Carey. Renowned for his dominating presence in Stanley Kubrick’s early films The Killing (1956 read more
Pic of the Day: “D.C. Cab” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 8, 2012
Can I squeeze another post out of Timothy’s seconds-long post-credits appearance in Joel Schumacher‘s D.C. Cab (1983)? Heck yes I can! I have a feeling when the Angel of Death finally comes for me, he’s going to look pretty much like this guy. Fill in your details below or click a read more
Pic of the Day: “Satan, Cyanide and Murder” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 7, 2012
Our pic of the day takes another look at Timothy’s brief appearance in The New Mike Hammer episode “Satan, Cyanide and Murder.” It was first broadcast on April 14, 1984. Just released from prison, Kenny the Knife is paying Hammer (Stacy Keach) an unexpected visit from the back sea read more
Video of the Week: “Mermaids of Tiburon”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 6, 2012
OK, this one is a bit of a cheat. This video of John Lamb‘s Mermaids of Tiburon (1962) is actually only the first two minutes. On the YouTube page there is a link that will enable you online access to the entire movie for one week for a very small fee. I don’t normally do this kind of th read more
