Book Overview
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.

If you enjoy Peter Falk you will enjoy this book It is written in a way that reminds you of his bumbling character. THe stories are anything but bumbling though. All stories are written in short segments. You'll laugh.

informative, funny and generally entertaining visit with Mr. Falk. Writes in a story-telling style without rambling.
A life as funny as his work...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
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.
Peter Falk, at his best

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! Walter J. Langbein
