Product Description

Product Description

Peter Falk came to prominence as an actor in 1956 in the highly successful off-Broadway revival of "The Iceman Cometh" with Jason Robards. Although he worked continuously for the next three years, bouncing from one off-Broadway theatre to the next, a theatrical agent advised him not to expect much work in motion pictures because of his glass eye. Later, a talent scout for Columbia Pictures described Falk as a second John Garfield, but Harry Cohn, the head of Columbia Pictures, unfortunately disagreed: 'For the same price, I can get an actor with two eyes'. But in 1958, Twentieth Century Fox came to New York to make a movie - "Murder Inc" - and Falk landed a juicy role for which he received rave reviews and, incredibly, was nominated for an Academy Award. He was then nominated again for his second film, "Pocketful of Miracles" starring Bette Davis.Falk went on to become a favourite among filmgoers, yet it was through television that he reached his widest audience as Lt. Columbo, winning four Emmys for the role. Interestingly, "Columbo's" raincoat came out of Falk's bedroom closet. He bought it years before he became an actor. He's been quoted as saying, 'I wanted to wear something people would remember. Bottom line, it's the world's most famous raincoat'. "Just One More Thing" is pure Peter Falk, and reads as if he's sitting next to you, chuckling as he recalls his remarkable past.


From the Publisher

The reluctant actor who was nominated for two Oscars and who immortalised Lieutenant Columbo around the world shares his hilarious and often touching stories – in his own inimitable voice. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining anecdotes from a movie stars life, 13 May 2008
By Mr. Stephen Kennedy "skenn1701a" (Doha, Qatar) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Just One More Thing (Paperback)
Peter Falk turns out to have a talent for writing in much the same way he talks.. in wry commentary, with no small amount of wit.
He sets out his stall early on - he has no intention of telling you his life story, but instead wants to write a book that you can pick up for 10 minutes before bed, or in the bath, and enjoy a few entertaining stories. Nonetheless, in doing so (and in no particular order), we do learn much about his life, just little about what he thinks about the important events in his life - only some of what he enjoyed or found funny in it.
The end result leaves you much with the feeling of having sat down and had a chat with the man over a beer, swapping stories of people and places. Subjects covered range from his admiration and friendship with John Cassavetes, his role of Columbo (of course) and some of his leading ladies, to his wife, his early travels and quite a few of his favourite ad libs from other stars. Basically it feels like it is whatever came into his head on the day he sat down at the typewriter.
As such, this is a quiet success.. he uses much space on the page with different fonts and sizes of font to break up the text and make his point, so that there actually is very little reading in the book. There are plenty of photos and drawings (we find out he has a passion for sketching and drawing).
Entertaining as a light frothy read, although if you want more on his inner thoughts and life story, or an exposé of Hollywood, best look elsewhere. As a work of literature this may not rate highly, but for its intended audience (the folk who want that 10 minute read in the bath or before bed) it fits the bill nicely.

4.0 out of 5 stars Peter Falk doesn't quite tell all, 2 Jul 2007
By L O'connor (richmond, surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Just One More Thing (Hardcover)
Peter Falk has written an amusing collection of anecdotes from his long and ineresting life. Although this is not an autobiography, there is much fascinating information about his life here, and mostof the stories are very amusing.

I particularly liked the story about how he was persuaded to appear on Roumanian television in the early 1970s, to convince the people of Roumania that the government was not witholding episodes of 'Columbo' from them (since they were only getting six episodes a year, they were convinced they were being deprived of other episodes). And it's fun to read why he didn't appear in 'The Godfather'. And I was pleased to learn that the ancient raincoat he wears in Columbo is his very own, and still hangs in his closet.

You may wish that this book went into more detail about his life, but there is plenty to amuse you in this book, so forget about the missing details, and just enjoy it.

This review is from: Just One More Thing (Hardcover)
A must for all Peter Falk and Columbo fans. I found the book to be entertaining, educational and funny. I read it in one sitting as I was enjoying it that much that I didn't want to put it down.
