Eli Wallach 1915 – 2014
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 25, 2014
Carey’s final project as a film director is Godfarter III (1989), an audition piece for [Francis Ford] Coppola, who was looking to cast the role of an elderly Mafia don for The Godfather: Part III (1990). Coppola considered Carey too young for the part (and may also have been put off by Carey& read more
Pic of the Day: “Play It Again Sam” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 24, 2014
Today’s pic is a rather unusual one. It’s another shot from a film that Timothy does not actually appear in, Herbert Ross’ Play It Again, Sam (1972), starring Woody Allen and based on his stage play. There is super-cute Diane Keaton, and just to her right is a flier for a screening read more
Pic of the Day: “Unwed Mother” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 23, 2014
Today’s pic is another from Unwed Mother (1958), directed by Walter Doniger. Timothy’s sweaty, disheveled abortionist looks here like he just wandered in from a German Expressionist film of the 1920′s. Tim’s brief appearance is definitely the highlight of this moralistic mel read more
Quote of the Week

GUASTI Then… this man actually made music with his anus? BOSKORSKY Of course… his colon was a polytongued organ and he could fire it as if from a magaxine of a gune. At least a dozen tropes of musical modes of which he chose only those that had artistic merit. It’s amazing La Pet b read more
Pic of the Day: “The Great Train Robbery” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 20, 2014
Today we take another regretfully poor-quality look at the Sheriff of Cochise episode “The Great Train Robbery” (nice title originality there, guys). It was first broadcast on October 5, 1956. Mean, mean train robber Stark is not taking any guff from the hapless conductor (Jess Kirkpatri read more
Video of the Week: Trailers From Hell on “The Killing of a Chinese Bookie”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 18, 2014
This week’s video is another in the fabulous Trailers From Hell series. This time, award-winning screenwriter Larry Karaszewski examines John Cassavetes‘ The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976). Timothy is barely glimpsed in his scene at the Crazy Horse West, bathed in red light, but he&# read more
Pic of the Day: “Mermaids of Tiburon” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 17, 2014
Our pic of the day revisits Mermaids of Tiburon (1962), directed by underwater cinematography expert John Lamb. Wetsuit-clad bad guy Milo Sangster has just decked (literally) the hero, Dr. Sam Jamison (George Rowe). Lamb fared much better as the director of underwater cinematography on television ( read more
Pic of the Day: “Tarzana” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 16, 2014
Today we take another look at a short film that hasn’t been seen in years. It’s Tarzana (1978), directed by Steve De Jarnatt and starring Michael C. Gwynne as world-weary private dick Milt Lassitor. Timothy has not nearly enough screen time as customs agent Benny Coughlin, who calls in h read more
Quote of the Week
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 15, 2014
FAX: Is a cult forming around Timothy Carey? CAREY: Oh yes, there is no doubt about that. I get e-mail from around the world from people who are just now discovering him. My dad was always pretty famous. As kids, we couldn’t go anywhere with him that he wouldn’t be recognized. He is reme read more
Happy Friday the 13th!
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 13, 2014
It’s Friday the 13th and a full moon tonight. Wishing you all the very best of luck. Keep in mind, though, that even the most potent good luck symbols can sometimes bring the complete opposite result… Be careful out there. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in: You are read more
Pic of the Day: “Set Up City” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 12, 2014
Today we take another look at the Baretta episode “Set Up City”, directed by Curtis Harrington. It first aired on October 29, 1975. Grumpy jewel thief Joe Dineen inspects the swag from his latest heist. Sure would be nice if the powers-that-be could get around to finally releasing subse read more
Video of the Week: “A Time for Killing”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 11, 2014
This week’s video is another clip (it says trailer, but it isn’t) from A Time for Killing (1967), the gritty Civil War drama directed by Phil Karlson and an uncredited Roger Corman. This one pretty much picks up where the previous clip I’ve posted here ends. Timothy actually has so read more
Pic of the Day: “The Adventure of Caesar’s Last Sleep” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 9, 2014
Let’s kick off the week with another look at Bonner, the dapper freelance hit man of the Ellery Queen episode “The Adventure of Caesar’s Last Sleep”. It was first broadcast on March 14, 1976. Is it just me, or does Timothy very much look like Christopher Lee in this shot? Fi read more
Quote of the Week
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 8, 2014
For a weird, Z-grade movie, The World’s Greatest Sinner is remarkably prescient. In the ‘60s and ‘70s, there would be an explosion of God Hilliards out there. The Manson Family, the MOVE, the SLA, and Jonestown were all political and religious hybrid cults with charismatic leaders that led their read more
Pic of the Day: “The Blue Angels” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 6, 2014
Finishing up the work week is another look at “The Blue Angels,” the episode of Charlie’s Angels that first aired on May 4, 1977. Timothy is about to get shot by Ed Lauter in the first few minutes of the episode. I have no idea what happens after that. With no Tim, I just lost inte read more
Pic of the Day: “Grubstake” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 5, 2014
In observation of the birthday anniversary of William Boyd, born this date in 1895 (!), we present another pic from the Hopalong Cassidy episode “Grubstake”. It debuted on February 5, 1954. Dan Warner the blacksmith confers with Hoppy and Bummer Lowe (Percy Helton). As I’ve mentio read more
Video of the Week: “Poor White Maniac”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 4, 2014
OK, I admit it. I laughed out loud. I’m sure you will too. I predict my Flashdance-loving hubby will get a kick out of this one. Jennifer Beals? Who’s that? Points for creativity, at the very least. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in: You are commenting using your Wor read more
Pic of the Day: “What’s The Matter With Helen?” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 3, 2014
Our pic today takes another gander at Curtis Harrington‘s What’s The Matter With Helen? (1971). Glamorous dance teacher Adelle (Debbie Reynolds) answers a knock at the door, thinking it’s her date (Dennis Weaver). It isn’t. As we know, Harrington was very fond of Timothy, ca read more
Pic of the Day: “Chain of Evidence” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 2, 2014
Huzzah! I got my copy of the Bill Elliott Detective Mysteries set the other day, and made some new screen caps from Chain of Evidence (1957). Here once again, but in sharp focus this time, is ill-tempered sleazeball Carl Fowler. He’s trying to pull a fast one on Sgt. Mike Duncan (Don Haggerty) read more
Quote of the Week
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 1, 2014
Marilyn Monroe was born 88 years ago today. This is what Timothy had to say about her in a 1958 interview with columnist Mel Heimer. Tim is working on three projects: (1) to out-dance Elvis Presley in Macy’s window, (2) to kidnap Marilyn Monroe (“with her permission, of course”), and (3) to steal read more
