John Ford had John Wayne. Martin Scorsese had Robert De Niro. And the master of American realism also had his on-screen doppelgänger, as you can see over the next four days in the Museum of Fine Arts' retrospective "John Cassavetes and Peter Falk." The series opens with Mikey & Nicky (1976), Elaine May's mobster/buddy movie, with Cassavetes playing Nicky to Falk's Mikey, and then his Opening Night (1977), in which Cassavetes's wife, Gena Rowlands, is a distraught diva and Falk has a small but key role. It'll continue with Big Trouble (1986), A Woman Under the Influence (1974), and Husbands (1970), in the MFA's Remis Auditorium, 465 Huntington Ave, Boston | December 2-5 | $10; $8 students, seniors 617.369.3907 or http://www.mfa.org.
