Absolutely classic Columbo episode. The Lieutenant very publicly takes down the most arrogant, obnoxious murderer in the whole series - Kingston runs out of bluster and is literally lost for words in the final scene.

[@carolynash6300]

I can watch these episodes of Columbo over and over. I absolutely loved Peter Falk.

[@jamesfeldman4234]

I love watching this clip just to see the extraordinary range of emotions that Columbo puts Ross Martin's character through. Ross's character starts out the scene supremely confident and in control. But Columbo tears down each layer of Ross's facade until he's a broken, exposed man. Then, Ross's character is given hope that his plan will work after all when Columbo reveals that he's looking for fingerprints. But when Columbo reveals that his team is looking for Columbo's own prints and he explains why, Ross's glimmer of hope vanishes and we're left with a totally destroyed man. While the gotcha is one of the cleverest in the Columbo oeuvre, It's Ross Martin's performance that makes the whole thing so magical and a work of art.

Agree. Ross Martin was a superb actor and he really steals the show in an episode of Rod Serling’s “Night Gallery” he performed in around the same time (“The Other Way Out”).

I love that Columbo also featured a lot of screen legend from the Golden Age of film. This clip alone has two Oscar winners (Kim Hunter and Don Ameche).

[@stevenburton6785]

My favourite Columbo scene ever , Brilliant acting from every actor/ress( I,m old school) 10/10, Thanks.

[@cathystruska1558]

This has a perfect ending. Columbo is very tricky in his investigation.

[@charlesharmon8478]

Great ending to a great episode !

[@sneakerfreak2002]

The music. The lighting. The house exterior. It’s all so magical ❤

[@joeybonin7691]

I love it. Ross Martin was a tour de force in this episode.

[@gabriela_sd260]

Best detective series!

[@zzc8505]

Ross Martin is amazing here, to the point that his villain is at times even kind of cute in his excessive self-confidence

[@dollarama8652]

That look when Columbo shows him the mittens @ he sobs like a little girl
Columba was like "C'mon man!" 🤨🕵🏻‍♀👀

[@helenangilley9436]

Can we please get some kudos to the most bored, dead pan delivery of "yeah" I've ever heard? That forensics officer is just so done with everything.

[@dianadowie3985]

Love this Detective!

[@greenmtnman7714]

Love that there are two Chevrolet Novas in the shot where Columbo arrives on the scene.

[@jamesfeldman4234]

You've got a terrific eye for detail. Yes, the Chevrolet Nova was used as a police car in California, including in Los Angeles County from 1976 to 1980 and in San Francisco in 1975.

[@TheMadAfrican1]

The music is just so amazing. Those strings being plucked puts goosebumps on my skin.

[@thunderrex59]

Best shrug in cinema.

[@bbenjoe]

0:00 - the fly enters the spider's web.

[@kitrichardson2165]

Nice acting

[@lisabunnie22960]

Ross is Boss. 🖤🖤🖤

[@karmafrog1]

YEAH
YEAH

[@normm1619]

‘Aunt Edna’ is 2 years younger than her nephew…..

[@marcokite]

sometimes an aunt can we way younger than her nephew

[@bmunson4920]

@@marcokite I meant the actors playing the roles.

[@johnstevengoodlad7260]

@1.23 no. he would have finished pouring all the drinks 1st...or they would be restless.

[@Vinciini83]

How is Don Ameche NOT the villain of this episode?!?!

[@dchegu]

Technically, he is assisting the villain inadvertently. Even tho all his actions are sensible n rational

[@MrK623]

He hadn't really made his comeback yet. I think Cocoon and Things Change brought him back into prominence.

[@jamesfeldman4234]

Don Ameche did excel at playing villains just as well as playing the leading man in films. However, at this phase of his career, he was mostly doing TV work almost serving as a character actor. The movie that propelled his career into another new phase in films was when he was cast as one of the bad guys, Mortimer Duke, in Trading Places, a comedy starring Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy. Then, a bit later, he played in Cacoon, taking his career to a whole new level.

[@aavvcc]

Would've been a great episode! Same with Vicent Price, he deserved his own episode as villain too

[@markmorton5231]

Wonder who showed up in the Nova?

[@noshowjackie]

Here comes Columbo. Putting along in his old French jaloppy. Ready to solve the case.

[@chrysostom8987]

Columbo always get his men or weman only because he plays the Cookie person but he's not but that's just a trick he uses to get them.

[@imScottIronmonger]

Pahaha!! 😂😂 Got him!
