It's not easy to upstage @realjameswoods - and it's essentially impossible to not become invisible when sharing a scene with the legendary Timothy Carey. Yet somehow, Tim McIntire does both in Fast Walking. His delivery of Brawley & Harris' pulpy, over the top dialogue is pitch perfect. His portrayal of a Machiavellian prison crime boss channels something akin to a charasmatic cult leader. But it's also gotta be said that Carey's reaction shots here are priceless! ........................... #jamesbharris #fastwalking #kubrick #jameswoods #timmcintire #timothycarey

They say McIntire was the illigitimate son of #OrsonWelles and #JeannetteNolan - nowhere else does that seem more likely than in this film. Even James B Harris believes it's true. One gets the feeling watching Fast Walking that McIntire was poised for greatness. Sadly, he'd pass away just a few years later, having long struggled with substance abuse. This would be one of his final roles. ........................... #jamesbharris #fastwalking #jameswoods #timmcintire #timothycarey
