Dig A Hole: Peter Falk
With Falk's death, only one remaining credited actor remains from "The Great Race." I agree with Capra - Falk was the highlight to many a movie in his early days. Who else could stand toe-to-toe as Sinatra's adversary in "Robin & The 7 Hoods"? His appearance as a cabdriver in "Mad x 4 World" always gave me a chuckle - one of the few when I watch that movie. For me, two of Falk's movies standout. First, "Murder By Death" (1976), a Neil Simon written for the screen movie that brings together famous screen detectives for a whodunnit. Falk plays a Bogart "Sam Spade" role that has many a clever line. Second, "The Great Race" (1965). Falk as a mad henchman for Jack Lemmon is outstanding. He even has the only dirty joke in the movie ("Come and get it! Maybe she don't mean us..."). I've seen this movie over 300 times and it never gets old or unfunny. Falk appeared three times on "The Bob Hope Chrysler Theater" in various roles - no acting with His Holiness Hope though. One highlight with "Columbo" - Patrick McGoohan (he of "The Prisoner" fame) hated acting on American TV. So when he was cast as a murderer on "Columbo" in the early 1970s, it could have been disastrous. However, Falk and McGoohan hit it off, became very good friends, and McGoohan was on "Columbo" three more times. In 1977, the producers of "Columbo" wanted to replace Peter Falk with Patrick McGoohan - but McGoohan said no, he was friends with Peter, and "that role belongs to Falk forever." Rest in peace, Lt. Columbo. . . . . . . . . . . A: Larry Storch aka "Texas Jack" from "The Great Race".— June 26, 2011 6:42 a.m.
The Dirty Dozen: Twelve Ways Not to Behave in a Movie Theatre
The Tex Avery screencap made me spit my drink. I'm wiping off the computer desk, the keyboard, the monitor, the printer, and the assorted bills and papers on the desk nearby... all the time laffin' over the image you used. That was genius. No cleaning bills will be sent - this one's on me. Literally.— June 24, 2011 12:17 p.m.
