Welcome to the month long celebration of the career of Peter Falk. This post will not cover Columbo as there's already a segment dedicated to his famous character, the detective. Instead, we'll focus on Falk as an indie star in the '60s and '70s, especially through his collaboration with John Cassavetes. Most people will know him as either Columbo or as grandpa from The Princess Bride. But Falk was more than that. With the exception of Columbo, he was an actor who stayed mostly below the radar. It's worth looking at his early work to find out why he never seemed to escape the shadow of his most famous character. Perhaps he never wanted to.
