He flashes it to the woman at the beginning of the clip just the same as he does with the men. The way he gave a warning to the photographer, paused, and then held it up for her to look at a little longer than anyone else- it actually gave me the opposite feeling, like he was trying unnerve her for some reason. I may be wrong about that though. I agree that they way he treated the photographer differently than the other had a reason. But I don’t know what it is
Barbara Rhoades was a knockout TV fox of the 70's. She got front-end billing for this episode and did for most of her TV appearances. Still alive and kicking, she turned 74 this year and still looks pretty good.
Someone needs to clarify something for me. They look through, what Columbo says, “all the unsold photographs from yesterday.” When they don’t find Leslie Nielsen, he asks, “What about the photographs you DIDN’T sell?” Didn’t they JUST look at them? Personally I think Falk blew the line but Barbara just rolled with it. Either way, it’s one of my all time favorite scenes. Well, at least tied with about 30 others.
Also, the second time through the photos, weren't they supposed to be looking at negatives? Those definitely were not negatives! But yeah, Falk embodied that character and I think you're right about him blowing the line.
No, it is a legal matter. Remember that in two party concent states, she would need to ask to take someone's picture before she does it, making her method an illegal invasion of privacy. What Columbo was slyly getting at was "OK, we went through all the pictures you had a legal right to take, now let's take a look at the candid shots you weren't supposed to take." It was a question of trust to show that he wasn't going to bust them. He used the same trick with the shooting gallery guy, expressing how he couldn't shoot the water from the dock as a way to destroy any leverage he might have had to collect a bribe. In both cases, he showed his experience dealing with carnivals as a police officer, but that he isn't a corrupt cop wanting to throw his weight around (for bribes or info)
@@Maninawig Interesting, though I thought taking pictures in a public area was more broadly allowed, like if a celebrity is walking through the mall a person can take pictures of them without their permission as long as they don't interfere, etc.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere there are three things at play: taking pictures of scenery is OK even if you catch someone in them. Taking a picture of a celebrity is OK as they are a public figure. However, purposely taking a picture of a random person is where people will get in trouble. In this case, her job is to literally take pictures of random people and try to sell them, which is an invasion of privacy that can be escalated to extortion as the contract/permission should come first. If you are interested, had Columbo needed to use one of the candid pictures in court, he would most likely claim "it was a misfire" as if her subject sneezed. There is no law against missing your shot with a camera.
The amusement park was "The Pike" in Long Beach, California. It was demolished four years after this Columbo episode was filmed there. It was also used as a setting in dozens of movies and TV shows starting before 1920. "Just one more thing" about this episode is that it has the inimitable Vito Scotti as "Salvatore De Fonte." He displays his extraordinary talent here just as he does in the five other Columbo episodes in which he appears. Peter Falk and Patrick McGoohan were very close friends and, I think, neighbors for a long time. McGoohan appeared in four Columbo episodes, two of which were part of the series' original run (like this episode.)
Over the years on various UK TV channels they have shown practically all of the original Columbo episodes ever made. I know because I had a DVD recorder for years and recorded them all on to DVD discs, which I then ripped to the hard drive of my computer.
@@bh8365 Four. "Death Lends a Hand" (1971), "The Most Crucial Game" (1972), "Double Exposure" (1973) and "Columbo Goes to College" (1990). He wasn't the killer in Columbo Goes to College. He was also in a Mrs. Columbo episode, "Word Games". Haven't seen that one, so I don't know if he did it.
The young blonde boy in the green and white shirt who enters the scene as an extra at 1:18, is in the background of the next 7 shots as well, walking in various random directions. I suspect there are other extras who cross the shots multiple times too, but he really stood out to me - so much so, that I thought he was going to be a character in the plot.
Yeah I noticed that too . The first time he showed up was to retrieve a little blonde girl ( perhaps his sister ? ) who had wandered over and stood next to ,and looking up at Columbo .
Patrick McGoohan was one of the best killer in the series. he was in 4 episodes that I know of and was excellent in all. He also played Longshanks in Braveheart and you guessed it, he was great!
I love these bits and pieces, but would so love more full episodes. My favorite part of this one is watching Colombo wearing a picture of himself on his raincoat.
The whole scene is rather tongue in cheek especially with Columbo wandering around with that magnifying glass. As he says, the detail is there if you persevere.
@Hammerschlägen M I did record a few of them on to VHS tape but most of them I recorded off various UK satellite TV channels over 10 years ago using a DVD recorder which had a built-in 250GB hard drive. That allowed me to edit out the adverts before I archived them to a DVD disc.
He slipped a bit when first walking up to her as she went behind the outside counter. Yeah I was watching for it lol. When I wasn’t busy…not watching for it.
Peter Falk and the great Barbara Rhodes!! Oddly enough, I was watching an episode of Match Game 77, and Leslie Nielson and Barbara Rhodes were on it together!!
@4852 BeautifulSpirit Having been born in 1982, growing up, I watched the later "Columbo" movies when they were shown on either NBC or ABC (can't remember which). Fast forward to the '90s (my teenage years), I first ever saw "Identity Crisis" when the older "Columbo" movies were shown on A&E (maybe you remember that channel) and Leslie Nielsen (who I liked as Frank Drebin) was, initially, the reason I watched it (I had no idea what the episode was about but, turns out, he was the victim in this episode and, looking at it now, one involved in some pretty questionable stuff, I mean potentially incriminating; I think the REAL reason he was killed was because he knew too much). I agree, it's one of my favorite episodes too!
Columbo got lucky that there was a photographer taking pictures of people visiting the amusement park. Is that a normal practice for peoples pictures to be taken at random in amusement parks in America, or just a story writers plot device so Columbo can get the evidence he requires?
@the sane party I don't care if it's 2022: if you're the "fat lady", I'll refer to you as the "fat lady"! I call a spade a spade and make NO apologies for it! For example, if you don't like being called "fat", do something about it, trying losing weight! I'm almost 40 and political correctness is one thing I've neither use nor respect for! Besides, I wasn't raised to be "politically correct" (sarcasm), anyway!
True story, but that part almost went to Christopher Lee. Lee was unavailable due to already working on '1941', so they got Leslie Nielsen for the role.
I'm quite the opposite. I never warmed up to his comedic roles. I much prefer him in his dramatic roles, including this and another Columbo episode and the movies, "Forbidden Planet", and "The Poseiden Adventure."
Wish we could have seen the whole episode, but the lady here was just so pretty. Anyone know her name? Thanks anyway for uploading clips, much appreciated. My husband bought us a DVD set for fun and we look forward to exploring them once most of the work on our farm is done - for a minute.
Falk screwed up. He says, “What about the photos that you *didn’t* sell. He meant “did” sell. It’s kinda like his Paul McCartney “Obladi, Oblada” moment. 🤗
I'm currently on Season 10, but I re-watched that Identity Crisis episode and towards the end, Patrick McGoohan says "Be seeing you" as what seems to be an homage to The Prisoner.
I was aware of halter tops around the late 70's, but I wasn't old enough to appreciate them.
I was😂😂 My wife had a couple of them(tops) Those were some good days

You still should call out fat people, there is no medical reason why the majority of fat people can't lose the weight except will power.
Imagine being asked if they could use that lady's image, as the part of a fat lady. They would need her permission to show her picture.
Have you lost your ability to speak?
Wish we could have seen the whole episode, but the lady here was just so pretty. Anyone know her name? Thanks anyway for uploading clips, much appreciated. My husband bought us a DVD set for fun and we look forward to exploring them once most of the work on our farm is done - for a minute.

Those are some of the dingiest looking awnings I have ever seen.
I'm not a huge fan of the Mcgoohan episodes, but I do respect the way they stretch Columbo's character.
Joyce is looking fine!
Falk screwed up. He says, “What about the photos that you *didn’t* sell. He meant “did” sell.
It’s kinda like his Paul McCartney “Obladi, Oblada” moment. 🤗
please anyone what's the music on the background ?
3:18 her name may be Joyce but I will always know her as *Joicy* .. like a 70's Sunshine fresh Orange! ;)

@@thesparkster Wow. Goldmine! Thanks!
I'm currently on Season 10, but I re-watched that Identity Crisis episode and towards the end, Patrick McGoohan says "Be seeing you" as what seems to be an homage to The Prisoner.
