In my opinion, "Any Old Port in the Storm" is not just one of the best episodes of Columbo, it's one of the greatest television episodes of any show. Can you imagine watching it for the first time in 1973? Falk wasn't exaggerating at all: I hope people in the audience watched it.

Watching this interview, you can see that he really cares about the characters and the overall production of Columbo. Notice how thoughtful his comments are, and how sincere his praise is for fellow actor Donald Pleasence. He even seems annoyed when interrupted by whatever is happening in the background (which I don't blame him for). He is as invested in Columbo as a writer would be! The character is obviously not just a paycheck to him. Contrast this with most other interviews you see from actors on late night shows.

Peter Falk was such humble guy. Every time he did a talk show, which he didn’t often do, he just talked up his co stars.

Peter Falk Is simply adorable! His simplicity, his humility( not put on) and bove all his technique of getting at the bottom of things by rational thinking and ability to deduce simply floors me! wish he was alive!

Columbo was a ggod character, Played by a great actor! Humorous, clever, and as he said dignified.

I met lots of people from many different countries over the years - almost all of them knew and loved Columbo!

Columbo is a great fictional character, portrayed by a truly brilliant actor, which stands the test of time. And when interviewed, Peter Falk seems a lovely man. He was brilliant with Robert Mitchum in The Battle for Anzio.

I couldn't believe the editors didn't catch that.

So charming love him!🤩💗

Hello from Russia. Columbo- one of the best cinema that i seen. And steel like to watch. Great actor and nice person too.

The character of Columbo always had a relative who did this or studied that, or experienced something. It was a way for the detective to lull the criminal into thinking that they were smarter.

Thank you to whoever posted this video. I never seen this. I was born in 76'. "Any Old Port In A storm" is my favorite episode.👍😀🎥

I still love watching columbo on a sunday when i'm making lunch. The 70's episodes are my favorites.

Johnny was joking around about the raincoat and that reminded me of this: There was one episode in which Columbo got a new raincoat: Mrs. Columbo bought it for him and it was blue. He didn't like it, so he kept trying to lose it/leave it behind, but people always brought it back! I think the name of the episode was called, Now You See Him, with Jack Cassidy playing a magician. Bob Dishy was in it, too, playing a sergeant who was kind of a "sidekick" to Columbo in that episode.

I watch all the Columbo episodes over and over again. Coincidentally, "Any Old Port in the Storm" is my favorite episode with " A Stitch in Time" my second. Every episode is a masterpiece. Also, to think that Donald Pleasance is the psychiatrist in "Halloween".
