Today our pic revisits Delmer Daves‘ The Last Wagon (1956). Timothy received no screen credit for his admittedly minor role as bad guy Cole Harper. Here Cole and his father, Sheriff Bull Harper (George Mathews), shoot it out with renegade Comanche Todd (Richard Widmark).
As I’ve mentioned previously, my MSTie friends will no doubt recognize Mathews from his role as the put-upon guardian angel of the short X Marks the Spot (1944). He turned in many fine performances, mostly on television in the 1950s and 60s. Off-screen he was an avid chess player.
The Timothy Carey Experience 
How funny, I’ve seen that movie a couple of times, but that was before I knew about Tim!

It’s a pretty good movie! Tim had a bad experience with Widmark during filming, though. He said he reacted after Widmark mock-stabbed him in his death scene, and it pissed Widmark off so much he kicked Tim for like 5 minutes (I bet it wasn’t quite that long). Widmark apologized later but Tim did not accept his apology. Yikes!
