Pic of the Day: “Peeper” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 12, 2012
Today we take another look at Peeper (1976), the enjoyable homage to 1940s detective flicks directed by Peter Hyams. Timothy and the great Don Calfa are being constantly stymied in their pursuit of Michael Caine and Natalie Wood. When I interviewed him last summer, Calfa related how Tim managed to read more

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 11, 2012
Our video of the week is a little gem that can be found as a bonus on the DVDs that are available over at Absolute Films, Timothy’s official site run by his son Romeo. It features scenes from The World’s Greatest Sinner (soon to be enjoying a major release on DVD, but the bare-bones vers read more
Pic of the Day: “The Boy and the Pirates” revisited (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 10, 2012
Today’s pic takes us back to Bert I. Gordon‘s The Boy and the Pirates (1960), with Timothy having a grand old time as Morgan, one of those very same pirates. Here we see him and Hunter (Than Wyenn) plundering some stolen treasure, as pirates are wont to do. Wyenn was all over television read more
Pic of the Day: “The Second Time Around” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 9, 2012
Happy Monday! Let’s start the week off with another look at The Second Time Around (1961) and Timothy’s bad guy, Bonner. Here we see him throwing his considerable weight around and helping himself to a little refreshment. And some rifles. It’s an enjoyable, lightweight Western com read more
Quote of the Week (42)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 8, 2012
“I play an atheist who gets people’s attention by playing music. I graduated from a rock and roller to a politician. Then he ran for president with God written on his cuffs. I played the part of God Hilliard. I had this cult. We shot at this cathedral in San Gabriel. I was living there b read more
Pic of the Day: “The Town Budget” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 6, 2012
Today’s pic is another from the Alcoa Premiere (aka Alcoa Theatre) episode “The Town Budget,” first broadcast on December 15, 1958. Timothy’s low-life thief Jonas has just shot a cop, and he’s feeling pretty good about it. I apologize for the substandard quality of the read more
Pic of the Day: “The Killing of a Chinese Bookie” revisited (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 5, 2012
Our pic of the day is a beautiful yet sinister portrait of Flo, Timothy’s garrulous gangster from The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976). John Cassavetes could always be counted on to give his actors some serious face time. Not sure what else to say about this film that I haven’t alread read more
Video of the Week: ABC promos, 1977
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 4, 2012
Videos featuring Timothy that we haven’t posted yet are getting harder to find, unfortunately. This week’s video isn’t up to our usual standards, but it’s a bit of television history that we don’t get to see much anymore. This is a promo that ABC ran for its Wednesday n read more
Pic of the Day: “The Book”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 2, 2012
Finally got it! Today’s pic is from the other episode of Rawhide that Tim appears in, “The Book.” It first aired on January 8, 1965. It was, if I’m not mistaken, the first time (but definitely not the last) Tim was directed by the legendary Bernard L. Kowalski. I will admit t read more
Babylon Boozer?
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 2, 2012
OK, let’s get this one out of the way. It was recently brought to my attention that Timothy appears in Kenneth Anger‘s notorious book, Hollywood Babylon II (1984), in the chapter entitled “Babylon Boozers.” I admit that Anger’s first Babylon book was an old guilty pleas read more

Pic of the Day: “The Outfit” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 30, 2012
Inspired by the awesome folks at the Fans of Timothy Carey group on Facebook, today’s pic takes another look at The Outfit (1973), directed by John Flynn (Rolling Thunder [1977]). I am particularly digging everyone’s color-coordinated outfits here. This is a great film that recalls the read more
Pic of the Day: “Convicts 4″ revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 29, 2012
Our pic of the day (and you remember about clicking for embiggening) is a nice promotional portrait of Timothy from Convicts 4, aka Reprieve (1962), one of my latest eBay finds. I’m still not sure if that’s a hearing aid or a transistor radio he has there. He used a similar device in Hou read more
Video of the Week: “Bayou/Poor White Trash”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 28, 2012
This week’s video presents the final showdown between Timothy and Peter Graves in Bayou (1957), re-edited and re-released in 1961 as Poor White Trash. Ulysses has come to take Marie (Lita Milan) away, and no sugar-talking dirty punk Yankee city fella from swell country is going to stop him! Th read more
Pic of the Day: “The Odds Against Donald Jordan” revisited (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 27, 2012
It’s way past time to revisit the Mannix episode “The Odds Against Donald Jordan,” which first aired on March 1, 1969. When Mannix (Mike Connors) needs the 411 on who’s been playing the ponies, he turns to his old pal Moose, his hepcat at the betting parlor. For a video of t read more
Pic of the Day: “Crime Wave” revisited (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 26, 2012
Today’s pic honors Sterling Hayden on what would have been his 96th birthday. He appeared in three films with Timothy: Hellgate (1952), Crime Wave (1954) and The Killing (1956). Here we see him and Mack Chandler apprehending Tim and Gene Nelson in the climactic scene of Andre De Toth‘s C read more
Quote of the Week (44)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 25, 2012
This week’s quote is yet another that is not by Timothy, but about him: “I had just finished photographing a movie for Timothy Carey called Frenzy, which was later released as The World’s Greatest Sinner. Timothy Carey was in Stanley Kubrick’s The Killing; he’s the guy read more
Pic of the Day: “Encounter at Boot Hill” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 23, 2012
The work week ends with a nice close-up of Timothy staring down Clint Eastwood in the Rawhide episode “Encounter at Boot Hill,” first broadcast on September 14, 1965. I do believe Tim was one of the few men capable of pulling off such a feat. Tim appeared in two episodes of Rawhide. I&# read more
Pic of the Day: “Quaker Girl” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 22, 2012
Our pic of the day takes another look at Tim’s appearance with today’s birthday boy William Shatner in the Gunsmoke episode “Quaker Girl,” first airing on December 10, 1966. He got ample time to push Shatner around in this episode, which unfortunately he did not get ten years read more
Video of the Week: “Francis in the Haunted House” trailer
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 21, 2012
Our video for this week is the trailer for Francis in the Haunted House (1956), directed by Charles Lamont. See Tim as as Hugo, silent lumbering servant of the castle, literally getting his butt kicked by Francis the Talking Mule! Francis is voiced by the great Paul Frees, whom Timothy would later h read more
