Happy Peter Falk's Birthday!

Yep, it's Pete's birthday; 79 years young. Whatta guy; whatta career.

So let us celebrate ol' Columbo himself in video; here's a classic clip from the film Murder By Death, wherein he plays a Sam Spade-ish character....



He also does a lot of German films, mainly for Wim Wenders....



And here he is as our favorite detective, with award-winning guest-killer Patrick McGoohan. So much talent in a minute and thirty seconds....



And of course how can we talk about Peter Falk without mentioning a John Cassavettes movie??



So happy birthday, Mister Falk. Long may your trenchcoat flutter in the breeze.

Dope out.
