Pic of the Day: “The Killing of a Chinese Bookie” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Oct 23, 2012
Today we take another gander at Flo, that enigmatic mix of bonhomie and brute force from John Cassavetes‘ The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976). Here he reminds Cosmo Vittelli (Ben Gazzara) of his obligations, as fellow gangster Phil (Robert Phillips) listens. As I believe I’ve mention read more

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Aug 27, 2012
We begin your work week with this amazing promotional still for Stanley Kubrick‘s The Killing (1956). From left to right: Jay C. Flippen, Joe Sawyer, Kola Kwariani, Elisha Cook Jr., and Ted de Corsia. The young man in front with the rifle needs no introduction, I hope. The only thing that cou read more

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 31, 2012
Our pic for today is a great shot of Nikki Arcane and his puppy from Stanley Kubrick‘s The Killing (1956). Timothy was usually the scene stealer, but in this particular case, the puppy manages to steal the scene from both Sterling Hayden and Tim. That is no mean feat. Whole blog devoted to 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: “The Killing” (in Italian!)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 7, 2012
As today is the anniversary of the death of Stanley Kubrick in 1999, I wanted today’s post to be a reflection of Timothy’s work with him. And, it’s a little bit different too. Here is Tim’s pivotal scene in The Killing (1956), co-starring the great James Edwards – dubbe read more

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 20, 2012
Today’s pic on this rainy (here in Portland, anyway) Friday is another one from Stanley Kubrick‘s The Killing (1956). Actually, I should have posted this one last Friday since it was Friday the 13th, and this is surely the unluckiest horseshoe of all time. This could be the only pic I&# read more

Inside The Killing (1956)
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Jun 23, 2011
For my money, The Killing (1956) is one of film noir’s best offerings. The characters, the dialogue, the inventive winding timeline, the use of light and shadows – all combine to create one of the era’s most watchable thrillers. For more on this great film, read on . . . Elisha Cook, Jr., and read more

Today’s pic (and need I remind you to click to embiggen?) is from John Cassavetes’ The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976). Tim is Flo, the strangely likeable, often garrulous torpedo of a soft-spoken, ever polite Hollywood mob boss (Morgan Woodward) putting the squeeze on stripclub owner read more

The Killing (1956, Stanley Kubrick)
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 24, 2009
I first saw The Killing when I was in high school. I had a great video store and one of the employees–lots of the employees were film school students–recommended the film to me, raving about Kubrick’s use of fractured narrative. He didn’t call it a fractured narrative, I don read more
