A great investigator who contributes here from time to time has passed away; will he still post here posthummusly?
Or even posthumously?

More importantly did he leave JJ his sweeet car in his will????

I hope I do get the car, although I should have been quicker in exploiting his senility at the time! :ph43r:

Still, a big shame methinks. The early Columbos were great - all got a bit glitzy and jokey by the end, and he relied more and more on forms of entrapment in eliciting confessions (yes, his earlier stuff was better...)

But Peter Falk never really died - his spirit entered Quincy and now wears him as a flesh jacket. True story.

Worst Whodunnits Ever.!!

Get round it by not watching the opening and then cover the relevant eye so you can't see who Columbo is bothering throughout the episode. It makes guessing who did it virtually impossible.

Rumours of my health have been greatly exaggerated out of all proportion.

There's something I don't quite get about this thread,
but it's creepy isn't it? :unsure:

A great loss. Only a week before he died, I was watching the John Cassavetes masterpiece 'A Woman Under the Influence' (arguably, the best film about mental illness ever made). As well as two other excellent films with Cassavetes ('Husbands' and 'Opening Night'), he gave a memorable performance - as himself - in the Wim Wenders classic 'Wings of Desire'. (The actual translation of the original German title, 'Der Himmel über Berlin', is 'The Heavens over Berlin'.)
