Your_Lion Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Just watched Double Exposure with Robert Culp as the murderer. Excellent episode where Columbo uses the murderer's own theory to catch him. Great stuff.That one's one of my earliest Columbo memories. I think I was about 5, or something at the time. I have a vivid memory of the scene where the victim gets thirsty watching the film. My other early vivid Columbo memory is Fisher Stevens angrily smashing the milkshakes. That one's a bit of a random memory. I guess it stuck in my head because I thought it was a waste of good milkshake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart as a whip.I think he may have laughed a bit while trading limericks in The Conspirators.He often has a smirk and a twinkle in the eye, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerxt1990 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 He almost laughs when he's getting his hot dog at Travel Town right before he meets The Director in Identity Crisis. The vendor, someone he knows, says he'll come to Columbo's house to swim, and he says its a normal sized pool, not a lake (the vendor is a large guy). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVrsKVeGs4Y Go to 1:05:00, its around 1:06:00 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) I watched Lovely but Lethal last night. Great cast in this one, with Vera Miles, Martin Sheen and Vincent Price (but why they didn't get him to be the killer at some point is beyond me ) Why don't people realise that it's not a very good idea to try blackmailing someone who you suspect of being a murderer? It never ends well. Edited December 19, 2014 by Your_Lion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Short Fuse, after he sprays himself with silly string (36:00+), he is basically very close to/is laughing and comes out of Roddy McDowell's dark room with a huge smile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYIgOh34gs4 Note the pitch drop in these uploads. Is that to fool the YouTube police? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could I have forgotten that one.I get the feeling a lot of that scene was improvised. I think so too! Also very funny was his interplay with the house mistress... you may remember shes the same actress as Kate OConnell from The Conspirators. Did you also notice the house in this episode is the same as Patrick McGoohans in Identity Crisis where he plays the CIA man? The interior shots are different, but the exterior courtyard/spanish style house and the front door are identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, yeah, those scenes are funny where she yells at him for leaving cigar ash, and breaking the switch on the TV. Also, another good thing about that episode: Julie "Catwoman" Newmar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your_Lion Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Rewatched The Greenhouse Jungle last night. I always love the look on Ray Milland's face when he realises where Columbo got the third bullet from. Also, I like that the character of the other Detective, Sergeant Wilson, introduced in this episode, returns in Now You See Him (My favourite Columbo).It's fun watching the character's opinion of Columbo change of the course of the story. He starts off almost in awe, since he'd heard Columbo was one the the departments best. Then his opinions of Columbo's competence seem to dwindle, until right at the end.When he returns in Now You See Him, he fully trusts Columbo's abilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Freight Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Just re-watched Murder,Smoke & Shadows. This is one of my favourites from the later series. I love how Columbo gradually gets under the murderer's skin by irritating him bit by bit. The final scene where Columbo pulls the rug out from underneath the murderer's feet is great. Fisher Stevens, who plays Alex Brady (the culprit), is brilliant in this episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Freight Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Just watched the pilot show Prescription Murder. This is one of the best I feel. I liked Columbo more when he was more hard-faced like he is in this episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
