I adored this man.

RIP Mr. Falk, you will be sorely missed.

I remember everytime I watched Columbo my grandmother would look at the TV and say: it's the crosseyed with the mantel (a womens trench coat, rough translation)

Jimbuna · 06-24-11, 03:36 PM

RIP Sir

All the greats are passing and we end up with those like Snookie.

I really hate TV nowdays.

What's TV? Ah yea something I used to watch a decade ago. Even more when I was a kid.

RIP Peter Falk.

I might just have to watch Robin and the Seven Hoods again.

Bakkels · 06-24-11, 11:17 PM

Aaah I was so sad to hear this. As a 'youngster' I only watched the reruns back in the late '90s, but really enjoyed them.

I'll never forget the Columbo series episode (can't remember the name) when he visits a convent via the rear kitchen door and the nuns take one look at him and mistake him for a vagrant/homeless person because of his dress appearance and offer him a meal and a change of clothes....hilarious (in the acting context).

Didn't mean to step on anybodies toes, I didn't see your thread must have been wipen a tear from my eye, you have good taste. Saturday night mystery theater nights are some of my fondest memories of my childhood with my family, mom would make a huge barrel of popcorn, and a pot of campbells tomato soup, we would all sit around the TV and take in the show. RIP

Loved watching him as Columbo as a kid back in Russia. And yes, he was every bit as popular in that role over there

Sailor Steve · 06-24-11, 06:15 PM

I watched Columbo when it first aired in 1971, and never got tired of it, but I really loved him (along with everybody else) in The Great Race.

But my favorite movie of his was this:

In a cast full of standouts, he held his own admirably.

Oh, I just realized - he's the same age as my dad.

Two words: The In-Laws.

Also if you have not seen Wings of Desire (orig title was, IIRC, Der Himmel über Berlin) he is also in that, essentially playing himself... but with a lovely little twist. A wonderful film in its own right and he is marvelous in it.

(For those who are so inclined, it will also afford you a chance to yell "Das ist Thomsen!" at the screen whenever Otto Sander appears.)
