	WINGS OF DESIRE
		Falk can do this because he has a special status for us: 1) he enjoys our confidence because we know him as Columbo and as the actor, Peter Falk; and 2) he is the only adult human being in the film who, in this scene at least, can sense the angelic presence we can see.
		Peter Falk's 'former angel' role is so central to the story and so essential for the balance of Wings of Desire, that it would be difficult to imagine the film without that part.
		Falk arrived in Berlin one Friday in November and he and Wenders spent the weekend together, developing the role on the basis of taped improvisations.

	Peter Falk
		In Wings of Desire, German-born Wim Wenders' movie from 1987, Peter Falk plays himself, with the fictional twist being that he was once a heavenly angel who got tired of watching over the lives of mortal beings and decided to become one himself.
		Berliners who run across Falk in the film call him "Columbo." To the man on the street -- any street in the world -- Peter Falk is Columbo.
		Wenders understood that Falk has ceased being just "Peter Falk" and is not exactly his alter ego "Columbo," either -- man and character have combined to become myth.

	Peter Falk - Films as actor:
		Everything about the on-screen Peter Falk bespeaks lived-in disarray—his raspy voice, slumping posture, ill-fitting clothes, even his squinty, slightly cockeyed look (the result of losing an eye as a child).
		By the 1970s Falk was elevated to starring or co-starring roles in such dramas as Husbands and A Woman under the Influence, written and directed by his close friend John Cassavetes, as well as various comedies.
		Falk continues to play the part in occasional made-for-television Columbo movies and shows up on the big screen now and then either in cameos or substantive character parts such as that of the irascible old guy who raises his orphaned grandson in Yates's sentimental Roommates.

		Of course, we want Damiel and Marion to be united: this is a desire that is nourished in us from the first time we see Damiel watching Marion on her trapeze, and it is a desire that will be fulfilled for us when they finally meet in the bar at the end of the film.

		Though by now veteran actor Peter Falk may always be playing a bit of Peter Falk in every role he does, that archetype works perfectly well when he plays the oh-so-Jewish father in Paul Reiser's feature, The Thing About My Folks.
		If any movie does a classic riff on the experience of growing up with Jewish parents, this is it.
		And Falk embodies the ever-responsible and too-often clueless dad, Sam Kleinman, who finally learns a few more truths about his family later in life.

		The formula remained the same: intelligent, engaging scripts and direction, guest performances by top actors, and, of course, Falk at center stage as Columbo, the most unlikely of supersleuths, but unquestionably one of the sharpest (the role would later earn Falk three more Emmys between 1975 and 1990).
		And in regard to co-stars, Falk matched wits with the likes of Donald Pleasance, Martin Sheen, Vincent Price, Robert Culp (in one of four turns on the series), Jose Ferrer, Ida Lupino, and in two novel but effective casting choices, Johnny Cash and hard-boiled mystery scribe Mickey Spillane.
		Best of all is Peter Falk as a man who appears to be less than he is. Columbo is one of the finest shows in the history of televison.
