内容説明
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.

土曜の夜はNHKでいつもフォークのコロンボを見ていたコロンボ世代であることと、書評もよかったので購入しました。
彼が今日の地位を築くまでのいろいろなエピソードがちりばめられており、結構楽しんで読めます。本に曰く”わたしはコロンボと同じくらいええかげんだが、彼ほど賢くはない”とのことですが、フォークはなかなかの人ではないでしょうか。
英語はあまりやさしくはない（学習用の英英辞典で引くと”Informal"と書いてある単語がいっぱいありますし、そもそも出ていない単語もある）ですが、複雑な文章はなく、エピソード中心なので、ある程度の英語の読書経験があれば結構読めると思います。

Peter Falk, at his best
2006/9/25
形式:ハードカバー
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!

A life as funny as his work...
2006/10/21
形式:ハードカバー
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.

Entertaining Vignettes from an Interesting Life
2007/2/15
形式:ハードカバー
The book reads like Columbo wrote it. It has anecdotes with unexpected punchlines. The understatement is deceptively intelligent. There are signature illustrations that show talent in the visual arts. Falk has traveled widely and has had many unique adventures.
As an actor Falk likes to develop his character along with writers and directors. He tells us how he re-writes lines and finds ad libs that work. He's rejected jobs because the character wasn't real, and he gets enthusiastic about scripts with a well constructed character. He names the talented actors and directors he's enjoyed working with and writes some interesting vignettes about Brando (never heard this before!), Dunaway, DiLaurentis and others. Columbo, as we iconize him, is Falk's creation from the crumpled coat to the battered Peugot.
The reader will enjoy this time with Falk, but won't learn much about him personally. His childhood is represented by a few high school tales. He talks fondly of two wives, the first one just vanishes from the text. You learn he has 2 daughters through a photo.
But we learn that Falk is an adventurer, with a positive attitude who makes long term friends. The book does not purport to be an autobiography, merely a set of stories, and in this, it meets its goal.
