My favourite movie with him in it?
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
That was my dad's favorite movie.
I've always liked it too.
When my daughter was little, I'd go to pick her up from dad's, and there they'd be, watching it again.

@boomerang,
Oh, this is very sad to hear.
I loved him as the crumpled Columbo. What a wreck! But a very smart one!
And also admired his later serious roles in films, like A Woman Under The Influence and Husbands. (both directed by John Cassavetes)
Re the link I gave above, it's a fairly long take of Falk doing a "roast" on Sinatra. All these famous people are laughing their brains out. Really worth watching but I can't figure out how to embed it.
Here you go, osso.
I couldn't embed it from the link you posted, either. (Don't know how to.)
But I checked youtube & (I think) I've found the same clip.
Probably years before we saw it in Oz, ci.
We got television quite a while after you did.
But I remember Columbo from my earliest TV watching days as a little kid.
Thought he was a very unique character even then!
Stumble It!
