South Dakota Slim Alert!
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 21, 2014

They will be showing Bikini Beach (1964) and Beach Blanket Bingo (1965) very shortly, so get those DVRs fired up! You don’t want to miss a minute of South Dakota Slim and his antics. See you at the bubbie ho read more
Pic of the Day: “Fade In to Murder” revisited (4)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 18, 2014
We wrap up the week with another look at Tony, the deli owner/frustrated actor of the Columbo episode “Fade In to Murder”. It first graced television screens across the nation on October 10, 1976. Poor Tony is merely a pawn in the elaborate plan set in motion by arrogant TV star Ward Fow read more
Pic of the Day: “Chain of Evidence” revisited (5)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 17, 2014
You see this absolutely dreadful screen cap from a very poor quality “collector to collector” DVD of Chain of Evidence (1957)? Well, I’m happy to report that this film has finally attained that loftiest of goals – an official, proper commercial DVD release! You can now purch read more
Video of the Week: “Speedtrap” (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 16, 2014
This week’s video showcases Timothy’s best scene from Earl “No Strain” Bellamy‘s Speedtrap (1977). He first appears, quite memorably, at about the 4:26 mark. Also featuring Joe Don Baker, Robert Loggia, Tyne Daly, Lana Wood, and Richard Jaeckel. Tim, Baker and Jaeckel w read more
Pic of the Day: “Fast-Walking” revisited (5)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 15, 2014
Today we take another look at Bullet, the junkie con of James B. Harris‘ prison drama Fast-Walking (1982). It’s interesting how the shadow of Timothy’s profile is almost another character in the film itself. Tim found himself playing a prisoner many times in his career. The role o read more
Pic of the Day: “Teacher of Outlaws” revisited (6)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 14, 2014
Better late than never, our first pic for this week is another from “Teacher of Outlaws”. It’s the episode of the long-running Western series The Big Valley that was first broadcast on February 2, 1966. Timothy portrays Scripture-spouting outlaw Preacher Clegg, obviously a frustrat read more
Quote of the Week (390)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 13, 2014
In films since 1952, character actor Timothy Carey gained a cult following for his uncompromising portrayals of sadistic criminals, drooling lechers, and psycho killers. His definitive screen moment occurred in Stanley Kubrick‘s The Killing (1956), in which, as two-bit hoodlum Nikki Arcane, read more
Pic of the Day: “Minnie and Moskowitz” revisited (4)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 11, 2014
Closing the week is another look at Morgan Morgan, the loquacious diner poet of John Cassavetes‘ Minnie and Moskowitz (1971). He has just taken a bite out of Moskowitz’s (Seymour Cassel) hot dog. This was perhaps the greatest instance of Timothy showing up in a film, owning it for five read more
Pic of the Day: “That Sister Ain’t No Cousin” revisited (6)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 10, 2014
Our pic today takes another look at the Baretta episode “That Sister Ain’t No Cousin”. It first aired on January 19, 1977. Colorfully attired drug lord El Greco expresses his affection for the new load of statuary (with drugs secreted inside, if I’m not mistaken) that is goin read more
Video of the Week: “Timothy Carey – Low Life”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 9, 2014
Well, this one is, shall we say, different. It’s a weird little rockabilly tune that samples some of Timothy’s dialogue from Beach Blanket Bingo (1965) and Head (1968). And that’s about it. Sorry folks, this is the best I could come up with this week. Enjoy! Fill in your det read more
Mickey Rooney 1920 – 2014
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 7, 2014
Another legend has left us. Perennial cinematic fireball Mickey Rooney passed away yesterday at the age of 93. Timothy worked with him in Francis in the Haunted House (1956). Interestingly enough, Rooney wrote in his autobiography that he had virtually no memories of the making of this film. How cou read more
Quote of the Week (388)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 6, 2014
TWGS [The World's Greatest Sinner] has been difficult, but not impossible to see, until recently. Much rarer is Tweet’s Ladies of Pasadena, a collection of footage, shot between 1969 and 1974, that was slated for a TV pilot in the 70s. This train wreck makes TWGS look like Citizen Kane; my fir read more
Pic of the Day: “Bikini Beach” revisited (4)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 4, 2014
Our pic today revisits Bikini Beach (1964) and the first of two cinematic appearances by that pool-cue-slinging ruffian, South Dakota Slim. Here he’s having a hard time staying awake while J.D. (Andy Romano), Puss (Alberta Nelson) and Eric Von Zipper (Harvey Lembeck) discuss the news of the da read more
Pic of the Day: “One-Eyed Jacks” promotional still
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 3, 2014
Today we observe the 90th birthday anniversary of the legendary Marlon Brando. Timothy appeared with him twice, in The Wild One (1953) and One-Eyed Jacks (1961). Here is a rarely seen promo still from that latter film that I received from friend of the blog Toby Roan, author of the forthcoming A Mil read more
Video of the Week: “California Bullets”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 2, 2014
Our video for this week features what is perhaps Timothy’s most fleeting appearance ever captured on film. It’s the Cowboy G-Men episode “California Bullets”. It first aired on June 13, 1953 and, in fact, was the final episode of the show. Please do not blink at about 1:30 in read more
Pic of the Day: “The Odds Against Donald Jordan” revisited (5)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 1, 2014
OK, I promise – not another April Fools post like last year. Just a regular pic o’the day, this time from “The Odds Against Donald Jordan”, the Mannix episode that was first aired on March 1, 1969. Groovy bookie Moose gets a load of his old pal Mannix (Mike Connors). At the read more
Pic of the Day: “He’ll Never See Daylight” revisited (5)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 31, 2014
We kick off the week with another look at the premiere Baretta episode, “He’ll Never See Daylight”, directed by Bernard L. Kowalski. It was first broadcast on January 17, 1975. Fashion plate gangster Matty Trifon shows up for his butt-kicking by Baretta (Robert Blake). This is the read more
Quote of the Week (386)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 30, 2014
As much as I love and admire it, The World’s Greatest Sinner is a difficult film for me to write about. It is raw, crude and explosive. It is radical not only in content but in form as well, with crazy jump cuts, unexpected uses of color, and several shots edited in upside down. It explores some vit read more
Pic of the Day: “Big Jessie” revisited (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 27, 2014
Today’s pic takes another gander at Lobo, the knife-throwing henchman with the scar from “Big Jessie,” the episode of Cimarron Strip that first aired on February 8, 1968. He is not a very happy fellow in general. Portraying the “Big Jessie” of the title is someone you read more
Video of the Week: “The World’s Greatest Sinner” (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 26, 2014
This one may not be up too long, so enjoy it while you may! It’s a clip from The World’s Greatest Sinner (1962). God Hilliard gets his fake soul patch, hits the stage, pontificates and gyrates. Enjoy the master at work. And please check out the latest issue of Cashiers du Cinemart, featu read more
