De-escalation the Columbo way – A Friend in Deed

For all you lovely folks who voted in the Peter Falk’s best movie role competition, here’s a selection of images of Peter as Sam Diamond in ‘Murder by Death’. What I’ve always liked about this film is how at home Peter seemed in the company of so many megastars. He belonged ❤️🌟❤️ ————————— #Columbo #ltcolumbo #peterfalk #classictv #70s #1976 #alecguinness #davidniven #maggiesmith #petersellers #trumancapote #samdiamond #murderbydeath
