Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 06-24-2011 10:02 PM                     Way back in those tricycle riding years, I always associated Peter Falk with his role in Columbo and NBC's mystery series opening: linky linky. Very retro. Wings of Desire and The Princess Bride were great 1980's movies. Peter Falk put his mark on both of them. RIP, Peter.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

A great comic and dramatic actor, and part of the John Cassavettes crowd. He'll be well remembered.  |  IP: Logged
