    In case anyone cares the "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party" that Sgt. Wilson typed was a common exercise for typing class. A more modern one being "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." which is used because it uses all the letters on an English keyboard.

    This is easily one of my favourite episodes. Cassidy and Falk have fantastic character chemistry and their interactions are always a joy to watch. Between the "I knew you could do it" scene with the cuffs and this final showdown, there are too many good scenes to choose from.
    Even the final thirty seconds hit hard. The score perfectly frames the scene as Santini is taken away. We see the sad look on his face as he glances around the room one last time, knowing that he'll never return. It leaves this very somber feeling that I just can't shake. Top notch Columbo all around.

Even "The Prisoner" McGoohan. Even "I Spy" Robert Culp ! Actually, in 2021, I think the percentage of murders solved is lower than in the past, as well as the percentage of IRS fraud schemes. But there was a bump in crimes just because of the boomer population bump, I'm sure, and that has subsided.

It is sad as not only are we bidding farewell to Santini, but also to Jack Cassidy.😥 Although I didn't realize he actually did another mystery movie after this one when he appeared on McCloud later in the year. I guess Now You See Him was shot in early 1976 and Mr. Cassidy died In December of that year. I was always a great fan of his work and enjoyed him particularly in the three Columbo appearances he made.

    Never make that mistake and underestimate Colombo, he is a lot more clever than he lets on.
    He acts stupid on purpose to let the killers mock and underestimate him and he pounces to catch them out when they least expect it, showing them how deadly he really is, casually getting them to incriminate themselves by confessing to the murder.
    Colombo lets the killers' ego and arrogance get the best of them and trap them and he was so humble and polite when he does it.
    Nobody could play Colombo better than the late Peter Faulk. He nailed the character perfectly.

    “Oh, I’m sorry, there is no such thing as a perfect murder.

Columbo is the spirit of justice who comes into their story, to reveal that no matter how much they tried, their plans will have a flaw that brings the whole thing down.

    To keep up the level of writing and acting they did for 30 years, is a magic trick in itself. I don't wanna know the secret. I don't want to spoil the magic.

    It's great that they got such a fantastic actor as Robert Loggia for such a bit part. In his "I've got work to do" he conveyed that he knew he was talking to a murderer and a Nazi.

    No video title (besides the "| Columbo" suffix found on all videos), description just says Season " Episode ". I think someone goofed and uploaded this a little early.

    This is the rare episode where Columbo takes actual pleasure in the arrest. (Usually his face is downcast when the murderer realizes the jig is up.) Who can blame him? He's taking down an SS guard!

    At just after 4:10, Columbo talked about how the newer typewriters punch out a letter on the carbon ribbon, “You can see it” - and he pointed to his right eye, which was Peter Falk’s glass eye. Take that as a hint that while Peter Falk the actor had only one eye, Lt. Columbo the character had fully working vision. (I’m blind in my left eye. It would never even occur to me to point at that eye in order to make such a point, I would only point to one that I could actually see through.)
    Also, Peter Falk was such an effective and charismatic actor, even his glass eye somehow became a window into his soul.

    One of the best episodes in the entire series however, in real life, a suspect would never be shown actual forensic evidence, especially not within arm's reach where he could have destroyed it or at least rendered it useless as evidence.
