Kurzbeschreibung
In Just One More Thing, Peter Falk award-winning actor takes us behind-the-scenes into his professional and private life. Starting in Hartford, where he worked as a management analyst for the Connecticut State Budget Bureau, Falk was no more successful than at an earlier attempt to work with the CIA. He then turned to an old college interest: acting. Falk came to prominence in 1956 in the successful Off-Broadway revival of The Iceman Cometh. Although he worked continuously for the next three years, a theatrical agent advised him not to expect much work in motion pictures because of his glass eye. Surgeons had removed his right eye, along with a malignant tumor, when he was three years old. But in 1958, Falk landed his first movie, Murder Incorporated, and was nominated for an Oscar. A Pocketful of Miracles garnered his second Oscar nomination, but it was through his collaboration with filmmaker John Cassavetes that Falk entered into his most creative period in 1970 when movies such as A Woman Under the Influence helped launch the independent film movement. Through television, however, Falk reached his widest audience portraying the inimitable Lieutenant Columbo throughout the 1970s and winning four Emmys.

Format:Taschenbuch
Peter Falk nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise in seine Vergangenheit. Sehr persönlich plaudert er hier über Freunde und Kollegen (was manchmal das Gleiche ist) und teilt seine Erinnerungen an besondere Menschen mit uns. Über sein Handicap (ein Regisseur lehnte ihn ab, weil er für's gleiche Geld einen Schauspieler mit 2 Augen bekommen konnte) sagt er: manchmal muß ich mir ein Auge zuhalten um zu wissen, welche das Gesunde ist. Der letzte Satz berührt besonders, wenn man seine schwere Krankheit bedenkt:"I love you for staying with me until the end."

Peter Falk, at his best
25. September 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book deserves more than five stars: it is Peter Falk at his best... the great actor can entertain in many roles.. as actor, as artist, as author. He has a lot of interesting stories to tell. And he does it in a brilliant way. He brings us a lot of interesting stories - about his life and work. No doubt, Peter Falk is one of the greatest!

A life as funny as his work...
21. Oktober 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Peter Falk has written the ultimate autobiography, although Mr. Falk himself insists that it isn't an autobiography. The book is written in short chunks, each a hilarious anecdote from his life, which would make it very easy to put down between stories--except that it is so much fun that you can't put it down.
Visit pre-Castro Cuba, Tito's Yugoslavia, and Cold War Russia, all through the eyes of the detective in the rumpled raincoat.

Entertaining Vignettes from an Interesting Life
15. Februar 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The book reads like Columbo wrote it. It has anecdotes with unexpected punchlines. The understatement is deceptively intelligent. There are signature illustrations that show talent in the visual arts. Falk has traveled widely and has had many unique adventures.
As an actor Falk likes to develop his character along with writers and directors. He tells us how he re-writes lines and finds ad libs that work. He's rejected jobs because the character wasn't real, and he gets enthusiastic about scripts with a well constructed character. He names the talented actors and directors he's enjoyed working with and writes some interesting vignettes about Brando (never heard this before!), Dunaway, DiLaurentis and others. Columbo, as we iconize him, is Falk's creation from the crumpled coat to the battered Peugot.
The reader will enjoy this time with Falk, but won't learn much about him personally. His childhood is represented by a few high school tales. He talks fondly of two wives, the first one just vanishes from the text. You learn he has 2 daughters through a photo.
But we learn that Falk is an adventurer, with a positive attitude who makes long term friends. The book does not purport to be an autobiography, merely a set of stories, and in this, it meets its goal.
