1. sharing a memory

I worked (as an extra) on a film called "The Inlaws" with Peter Falk and Alan Alda. Then I was "bumped," to a silent bit - a literal bumping into him in a crowded restaurant scene. The shooting took all day for one little scene - then it continued late into the night.
Falk was a PERFECTIONIST and made sure every detail was perfect. He was kind, considerate and aware of everyone on the set - a true gentleman.

2. I will never think badly of a guy in a crumpled raincoat--ever

I also had an uncle with a glass eye who died before I was born.
Peter Falk always made me think of him and feel somehow as
though I knew him. RIP Mr. Falk. You were loved

3. Him reading "The Never Ending Story" to his grandson in the movie.

His cockitiel in 'Beretta'.

Colombo with his trench coat and disheveled hair figuring out the mysteries.

14. Too funny how I did such an odd mental edit/delete on that one.

I would have literally bet my life on that twisted recollection.

He most often repeated line.

I wish there were one more thing. RIP, Peter Falk.

17. I hope he's reprising the role in heaven

by getting to the bottom of life's mysteries talking to God, "Excuse me sir, I'd like to ask you a few questions."

9. "I can't see ya, but I know you're here. I can feel it."

As himself in Wings of Desire :D

Ooh, I'm going to have to pull that movie out now and watch it again...

11. Wasn't there a "trilogy" some years back?

Didn't they alternate Banacek, McCloud, and Columbo? That was 40+ years ago.

All the lead actors have left us.

Damn, I'm getting old.

On edit: I was mistaken. It was MacMillan and Wife, Banacek, and McCloud. Rock Hudson is gone too. And I'm still getting old.

13. I always loved how Columbo would pretend to end a conversation

with a bad guy in each episode as if the crook had won and then turn back around and, SMACK, throw the damning/convicting evidence into the crook's face.

Granted, I was rather young when watching the series but I swear that was how I remember every episode wrapping up...the crook looking smug, assuming Columbo was a fool who couldn't find his ass with both hands..only to realize that it was Columbo who had pieced together the final damning evidence.

15. I just watched Murder by Death last night again for remembrance

Starring some of best of the best in a Neil Simon Play.
Peter Falk played Sam Diamond.

Some of lines he did

Lionel Twain: I'm the greatest, I'm number one!
Sam Diamond: To me, you look like number two, know what I mean?
Dora Charleston: What DOES he mean, Miss Skeffington?
Tess Skeffington: I'll tell you later. It's disgusting.


Sam Diamond: Locked, from the inside. That can only mean one thing. And I don't know what it is.


Sam Diamond: The last time that I trusted a dame was in Paris in 1940. She said she was going out to get a bottle of wine. Two hours later, the Germans marched into France.







Colubo was and still is one my favorite TV shows which I still love.
