Sadly, Peter Falk has died. He had been suffering from worsening dementia and Alzheimer's.

Sad.

 

Not a Columbo fan, but 'Wings of Desire' (Wim Wenders) was a work of genius, and he was fantastic in that. Perhaps now he is sat with his wings on a roof somewhere in Berlin.

What Jamie said.

Although personally I am quite a Columbo fan. Only Peter Falk could have carried those scripts.

Might just watch Wings of Desire tonight in honour. R.I.P.

........I went to a fancy dress party dressed as Columbo as a youngster in the 70's and still enjoy their escapism on the occasional Sunday afternoon.

Funnily enough I watched a short Wim Wenders film just this morning before hearing this news.  Wings of Desire tonight I think!
