Synopsis
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 forthe 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., An award-winning actor takes readers 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 through an earlier attempt to work with the CIA, and ultimately acting., In Just One More Thing Peter Falk -- award-winning actor -- takes us behind-the-scenes into his professional and private life.

      If you're a Columbo fan...

      I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's an easy read and gets into the man inside the raincoat. Full of anecdotes, humorous stories, and the struggles of up and coming actors. He delves deep into his childhood, and the travels he took in his youth. Did you know he's been arrested, more than once, by foreign governments? Me neither! Until I read the book. The pictures in the book are of the starving actor, up to the successful actor/artist he became. Very talented not only in front of the camera, his creative spark was behind it as well. He's also a talented artist preferring charcoal or pencil for his medium. He even solves the mystery of how he donned Columbo on his famous raincoat and where that raincoat is (at the time of the writing of this book) today. If you're a Columbo fan and always ...

    • Interesting short stories

      Peter Falk is a good writer. When you read his book, you can imagine him sitting in a comfortable chair, smoking a cigar or a cigarette, and telling short stories. It is very relaxing and entertaining to read these stories.

    • Loving this book!

      Hardback in perfect condition. I am enjoying every page of this book & trying not to read more than a few pages a night. I don’t want it to be over. As I read I can almost hear Peter Falk’s voice, but I’m an avid Columbo addict

    • Detecting and reflecting

      My favorite tv detective. The title Just One More Thing: Stories From My Life is as compelling as is his Columbo pic on the cover. His character fascinated me. His life story will be a treat for anyone.
