Columbo w/ John Cassavetes ("Etude in Black", 1972)

[COYOTE165A]

John Cassavettes was a great actor & was taken from this world to young.? RIP John & Peter

[crimsonkng1]

totally fantastic episode. in case it hasn't been mentioned, Falk and Cassavettes were best friends in real life.

Peter Falk, Ben Gazarra and John Cassavetes. I feel all were underrated as actors.

[crimsonkng1]

@rjplamf61 absolutely correct in all ways.

the best in my lifetime, i love peter falk and his work has inspired me to no end....

@Lynn1355

He really is (alas, was) an amazing actor, and his effect on people is perhaps even more amazing. Somehow nearly everyone--across language and cultural barriers (eg Columbo was supposedly quite popular in Iran I believe)--are touched by what I can only figure must be his essential humanity, which shines through in everything he does (even when the material is not of the best). And how his work touches each person in such an individual way...? Miraculous.

Sorry I didn't remove the post to which you replied as soon as it showed up. Thanks for responding to it.

Something this episode does brilliantly of having the Cassavetes' conductor show off all his unnecessary wealth and vanity. Anyways, it's always nice to see both in front of the camera and you can actually feel the friendship in front. Thank you for adding to YouTube!

@TheElegantDandyFop

You're very welcome. I like this scene because you really get a sense of how much they like working together here; they get a chance to be a little playful, not least of all (as you said) with the conductor's superficial superiority. I posted another scene from this episode but for some reason there's a restriction placed on it by the host site that allows no one to view it. Cassavetes & Falk are such a pleasure to watch (& amazing together, & harrowing, in Mikey & Nicky)

[aewd1980]

god bless you peter falk, no one could have played columbo like you. you will be sorely missed as a great actor.

RIP Mr Falk

Columbo made about $56,000/yr. in today's money according to inflation calculator.

Peter Falk is the nicest person and an engaging actor. I love watching his work.
