mark bale Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 A good choice Brock, a fine film, so much better than 1978's CHEAP DETECTIVE. Loved Falk's Columbo cameo in the Frank Sinatra TV roast on the old Dean Martin show - hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the "Columbo" series on DVD/Blu-Ray? He was wonderful in "Pocket Full Of Miracles". I saw Peter Falk in Wim Wenders 1987 film "Wings Of Desire". I would love to see this film again in honor of his passing. I am hoping for a film tribute on TCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was absolutely terrific in that series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
