Peter Falk is dead
"I wish i could see you, companero", says Peter Falk to his fellow angel, in "Der Himmel Über Berlin" ("Wings of Desire"), a wonderful movie from Wim Wenders, surprisingly shown on TV (on BS channel of course) in my hotel room at Yamaguchi.
"J'aimerais pouvoir te voir, companero", dit Peter Falk à son compagnon l'ange-gardien, dans "Der Himmel Über Berlin" ("les Ailes du Désir"), excellent film de Wim Wenders, bonne surprise de le voir à la télé japonaise (sur la chaine BS bien sur), dans ma chambre d'hotel de Yamaguchi.
Taken on a trip to Berlin in 2007. There was a wall covered in these posters in Alexanderplatz most of which had been torn down. If anyone knows who the original artist is, I would love to know.

Que sont mes amis devenus
Que j'avais de si près tenus
Et tant aimés
Ils ont été trop clairsemés
Je crois le vent les a ôtés
L'amour est mort-e
Ce sont amis que vent emporte
Et il ventait devant ma porte
Les emporta
Avec le temps qu'arbre défeuille
Quand il ne reste en branche feuille
Qui n'aille à terre
Avec pauvreté qui m'atterre
Qui de partout me fait la guerre
Au vent d'hiver
Ne convient pas que vous raconte
Comment je me suis mis à honte
En quelle manière
Que sont mes amis devenus
Que j'avais de si près tenus
Et tant aimés
Ils ont été trop clairsemés
Je crois le vent les a ôtés
L'amour est mort-e
Le mal ne sait pas seul venir
Tout ce qui m'était à venir
M'est avenu
Pauvre sens et pauvre mémoire
M'a Dieu donné le roi de gloire
Et pauvre rente
Et droit au cul quand bise vente
Le vent me vient
Le vent m'évente
L'amour est mort-e
Ce sont amis que vent emporte
Et il ventait devant ma porte
Les emporta
L'espérance de lendemain
ce sont méfaits
Could that be the most gorgeous keyboard ever?
This is the corner of our living room. Media setup is complete, apart from needing to tidy up the cables a bit! TV is a normal TV, and is also hooked up to our Home Theatre PC. This is a DIY job, using a Mini-ITX motherboard. A Squeezebox duet sits on top of the PC, hooked up to a DAC, feeding the Cambridge Audio 840A amp. Keyboard is the unmistakable Logitech diNovo Edge.
No need for a CD player; lossless audio streams to the Squeezebox. No need for DVD or Blu Ray; media is streamed to HTPC over a wired gigabit LAN.
Columbo is up there too, keeping an eye on the set up. He knows all...! ;-)
Ben Gazzara and his best friends : Peter Falk, John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands. I have put their pictures on grapes because they all were amateurs of good wine and "fiestas".
May they rest in Peace - they give us so many wonderful movies.
Ben had this so special smile and this luminous eyes even when he was playing a very bad guy.
PS : I have known that Ben was dead thanks to Philippe Landru's site.
Taken by Gary Lee Boas on Thursday November 11th 1971 outside the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, NYC while Falk was playing in The Prisoner of Second Avenue.
From the book STARSTRUCK.
It was usually considered one of the nicest apartment buildings in Ossining. Now it looked ugly to me - like a prison or some kind of institution. It used to be open area all the way to the wall and Croton Ave, but now there is more housing between the two. Peter Falk's (TV's Columbo and Ossining's Own) parents' apartment was on the first floor. By time we moved there, Peter was grown and out of house but he visited. Mike Falk had a clothing store merchant(women's, children's and household) in Main Street - he was a real nice man.
Behind Fuller, was Hampton Gardens, part of same complex so my Pop looked after 98 apartments and two buildings.

Lt. Columbo will always be one of TV's greatest detectives. I loved his almost standard lines, "Oh, just one more thing, sir" or "Gee, now that's funny". He wore a glass eye since the age of 3 when the real one was lost to a tumor. As a Little League player, he was once called out at third and did not agree with the call. He pulled his glass eye out and showed it to the ump and said, "Here, you need this worse than I do!" Westwood Village Memorial Park, Los Angeles, CA.
For some reason, John Tebbutt was thinking about the 1979 comedy, "The In-Laws" starring Alan Arkin and Peter Falk.

I had a choice of a few shots for today - all pretty poor.
This one came in as a late shot, but it's a chance to mark the passing of a small screen great - Peter Falk.
He did big screen stuff as well, including this rather odd little film from my collection. But if I'm honest, it was a Columbo episode I watched this morning as my personal tribute.
It's hard to see him without the rumpled mac....RIP.
January 2013 20 condo units spaced across five floors in this Art Deco-inspired structure, erected in 1941. The building's facade is true to the original. Around town, it's known as an iconic video and photo shoot destination. “The hotel was a staple in its day and remains a fixture now,” says Josh Stein. 1250 Ocean Drive --- The Carlyle is featured in Bad Boys with Will Smith, Random Hearts w/Harrison Ford, Pronto w/Peter Falk, The Birdcage w/Robin Williams, and Scarface w/Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeifer. Sonny Crockett and Rico Tubbs (Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas) of Miami Vice Fame also filmed here.

I didn't realize that Peter Falk was a retinoblastoma survivor until I started doing a little research for this drawing. His right eye was removed when he was three years old.
The Zakim Bridge in the background. The cars in the foreground are parked on the roof of the building in which the famous Brink's robbery took place in 1950. At the time, it was the biggest robbery in U.S. history. A movie about it -- "The Brink's Job" -- came out in 1978. Directed by William Friedkin, it starred Peter Falk, Peter Boyle, Warren Oates, Paul Sorvino, and Gena Rowlands.
Friday 2nd April 2010 - Good Friday - Well its Day 200 and as its one of my busiest weekends of the year I have been working ALL day, I only had a few minutes spare before midnight to get a photo done. I have decided to dedicate Day 200 to one of my heroes, Peter Falk.
Columbo played by Peter Falk is my all time favourite characters, he is just so likable, it would be brilliant to meet him.
This photo is a prized possession of mine which was given to me by my lovely other half a few years ago.
Todays song is more if a nursery rhyme but it is Columbo related, its "This Old Man, He Played One" as performed by Peter Falk while on the telephone in the 1973 Columbo episode - Any Port in a Storm. It always brings a smile to my face.
