We interrupt your regularly scheduled Screengrab to bring you a special bonus edition of Set Your DVR. Unless you’re a night owl, you’ll want to do just that, because this bad boy doesn’t start until 2:15 in the blessed a.m. (1:15 Central) on Turner Classic Movies. But it’s a real rarity: the one and only motion picture directed by one of the great madmen of cinema, Timothy Carey. You’ve seen him in movies by Stanley Kubrick (The Killing, Paths of Glory) and John Cassavettes (Minnie and Moskowitz,, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie)…and if you still can’t picture him, I direct your attention to his frenzied shirtless hillbilly boogie from Poor White Trash:

Of The World’s Greatest Sinner, Jerry Renshaw of the Austin Chronicle writes: “Words like ‘offbeat’ are far too mild for this disconcertingly sleazy and base idiot-savant oddity that I cannot recommend highly enough for fans of the bizarre.” Personally, I’ve been waiting years to see this one and my DVR is already set. Again, it’s early tomorrow morning, Saturday, April 18th at 2:15 a.m. (1:15 a.m. Central) on TCM.
