The way she's just immediately happy after the inquest rules her brother's death an accident is a big blunder, just by itself. Like the fact that she's lost a sibling doesn't matter at all
Actually reminds me of that Columbo episode where a sister pretends to accidentally kill her brother and starts living it up as soon as it's ruled an accident.
Leslie Nielsen is one of the more remarkable Hollywood stories. Many have transitioned from solely comedy to solely drama, but very few the other way and a fraction of those successfully. He might be the 1 who’s done it. Bravo sir.
Add William Shatner to the list. I first saw him in a small role in "Judgement at Nurenberg" then in an episode of "The Nurses". Then there's Peter Falk himself who first was a stage actor who excelled in comedic scenes in "Columbo" but more notably, "The Inlaws"--perhaps, after Columbo his most memorable film.
The first question a potential murderer should have asked in L.A. was, "Which detective will be assigned the case?" Columbo had so many "high-profile cases--actors, actresses, a conductor, a general...the list is large--he had to have been cited in numerous news stories. If someone said, "You'll probably draw the little guy in the raincoat who carries around a cigar.", I'd let bygones be bygones and move on with my life.
It was a Coroner's inquest, is not the same as a legal trial. It has many of the same protocols, but doesn't argue guilt or innocents. New evidence can cause them to be over turned and refined as a murder. As far as a man like Columbo, it's the fact he looks and acts stupid until he has you under arrest.
I don't think it wasn't a court verdict, I think it was a coronial verdict, but ... yes ... your advice is sound, though should be expanded upon to be, *DO NOT COME WITHIN 100 YARDS OF COLUMBO WITHOUT AN ATORNEY!* Even then you're probably still toast though!? 😉
@@mya200014 There's one where a food critic has dinner with a chef and murders him by putting fugu poison in a bottle opener. At the end, after he's been caught, the critic asks Columbo when he was onto him. Columbo answers by saying, well, after we called you to say that the person you ate dinner with had been poisoned, and was dead, you didn't go to the hospital, you came to see me straight away. That was the darndest piece of social responsibility I've ever seen...
Susan Clark: "Oh, when you get back to the office, would you set up a meeting with the heads of the departments?" Leslie Nielsen: "Surely you can't be serious?" Susan Clark: "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley."
One of my favorite episodes. I've watched it repeatedly. The lightbulb detail is one of the best examples of the level of Columbo's attention to detail.
I am a massive Columbophile. I watch EVERY Sunday on 5USA channel,even if I've seen the week before. I hang on to every single word he says and watch every single action he makes. It's bordering on an obsession but he is the most far superior detective ever to walk this planet. Andy of Bournemouth, UK 🇬🇧
@@willoughby1888 You've immediately lowered the conversation, 'phile' doesn't only mean some disgusting pervert thats a pedophile, a Francophile for example us somebody that greatly fond of France ! You've just been schooled mate ! Andy of Bournemouth UK🇬🇧
For anyone wondering about the "double jeopardy" problem I found this quote from someone on Columbophile "Double jeopardy only applies if you are formally charged with a crime. While the results of an inquest can lead to a murder charge, just because the results don’t indicate that charges should be brought the DA can still charge someone cleared in an inquest. I recently re-watched this show and she was never formally charged."
I had a craving to watch this episode after these clips were posted. This is an excellent early Columbo. Leslie Nielsen is great, and Susan Clark is beautiful. She carries off a very sophisticated character that isn't overly haughty. And of course, like all Columbo epiodes, the true joy comes not from seeing the opening murder and who commits it, but rather from seeing how Columbo wears down the murderer by bringing up every last inconsistency and brining him or her to justice in his systematic way. Thank you for posting this.
Susan really does carry off Beth Chadwick well, kind of a Elizabeth Montgomery quality in her performance. If they hadn't got Susan for this role, I could see Elizabeth Montgomery as Beth.
@Marilyn Willett She held her age well, even at that time, but I'm not saying she should have played this part, just saying Susan Clark has an Elizabeth Momtgomery feel about her, the way she moves and talks. But admitally she didn't move her mouth like Elizabeth did to make her look like she was twitching her nose. 😜
If you got someone else accused of it, pray the Wright Anything Agency doesn't send someone to defend them. If both Columbo is on the case AND the Wright Anything Agency is involved, don't simply confess, immediately take yourself to prison and lock yourself away pre-emptively.
I like the subtle subtext of the interplay between Susan Clark's character Beth and Columbo. It's almost as though this was the unstated dialogue: Beth: I'm sorry, Lt. Columbo, but I've committed the perfect crime and I'm giving you this yellow rose as a consolation prize. Columbo: Well, I'm sorry too, Mamm. But I'm just not big on consolation prizes. I'm having a lot of problems with you and your story. You don't show any remorse, sadness, or even regret for killing your brother, even if this was a purported "accident." And I'm troubled by your sudden power grab at the family business now that your brother is conveniently out of the way. And then you suddenly go out and buy a brand new car as though to celebrate your inquest victory. I could go on, but am I boring you? Beth: Oh no, not at all. I find you amusing, Lt. Columbo. But I don't want you investigating me further, especially since I'm guilty. So, if you don't stop, I'm going to get your superiors to put pressure on you to stop your questioning. Columbo: Oh, I see. I guess I've touched a nerve. Well, I'll be leaving now. But I'll be seeing more of you later. Beth: I should hope not. Columbo: Don't count on it, Mamm. Don't count on it.
IMO, I think it's the extraordinary self-confidence of the criminals' behavior, while interacting with Lt. Columbo, that makes Columbo suspect them all the more. 👮🔍🚓
Columbo is a lot like PG Wodehouse’s character Reginald Jeeves - he has already worked out the crime before the investigation starts. His objective is to get a solid prosecution so he plays his cards close to his chest and even plays dumb to catch the suspect off balance as he’s closing in on them.
That's definitely a part of it. A suspect that is all too eager to offer convenient explanations as to why some strange behavior occurred is all the more suspicious for it, especially when those explanations contradict the more logical explanation Columbo is leading them to.
Criminal: After a long thought out plan, I have created the perfect murder. Now I can live out my success and gain lots of money, or whatever purpose I have. And no one will know. Columbo: Oh my! That's great and all......but just one more thing. Criminal: Yes? Columbo: To himself, "I'm about to ruin this guy's career."
Marcia Wallace (uncredited) in one of her first acting gigs before her long stint as "Carol Bondurant" (Bob's receptionist) on "The Bob Newhart Show." She had a credited role in another Columbo episode, "Murder by the Book." This was also the last role for Jessie Royce Landis ("Mrs. Chadwick") before she died a year after production of this episode at 75 years of age. Her career spanned 40 years and included working with Alfred Hitchcock in "North By Northwest" twelve years earlier. Speaking of Hitchcock, this Columbo episode was directed by Norman Lloyd, a life-long collaborator of Hitchcock's. The beautiful Susan Clark ("Beth Chadwick") was 27 years old here.
Well, I did feel sorry for Columbo in Columbo Cries Wolf when the “murder victim” turned up alive and well. She even mocked him in front of the press. That was an embarrassing moment for Columbo. They fooled him good on that one. The “murder” that never actually happened.
Susan Clark: "Oh, when you get back to the office, would you set up a meeting with the heads of the departments?" Leslie Nielsen: "A meeting? What is it?" Susan Clark: "It's a thing where everyone sits around a big table wishing they were elsewhere."
When watching Columbo episodes do not miss the beginning otherwise you'll miss seeing the murder being committed and by whom. It's how Columbo catches the killer that makes for great TV.
These stories are called "inverted detective" stories. Since the reader/watcher already knows who did the crime, they are referred to as a "howcatchem" instead of a "whodunnit."
Whenever columbo says "just one more thing", I get PTSD flashbacks to my mother giving me chores. She never watched an episode of columbo a day in her life.
Can't help but to soak in the wonderful incidental music, the first in this clip being an interesting variation of that heard in the penultimate scene of *Suitable for Framing* when Columbo is in his car racing to the house just as the police come to the house looking for "missing" artwork. It's on UA-cam.
When she bought the car and changed her clothes/hairstyle before the death, it raised his hackles. Oh so you knew you were going to change your style? AHA!
It's one of the few detective characters you can't seperate from it's portrayer, maybe the only one. It would be kind of interesting to see a prequel that took place in the late 1950's or early 1960's with Columbo just starting as a detective and solving his first big case. Couldn't imagine who would have the role. Maybe someone who calls the producer and says he read the script and "would kill to play that cop."
They aren’t sure how to act around this white man and have to act a certain way around the people in that household who clearly hold themselves above the help, which was and is common to the wealthy aristocratic elites.
The thing I found most amazing about this episode is how the clothing store has a bar and billiards table in it for the men. Oh to be insanely rich in LA in the 70s.
Just fiction, but still... It would really take a cold "fish" to kill your own sibling and then move on as if nothing ever happened, a psychopath obviously.
as sherlock holmes said the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime Lestrade the dog did nothing in the nighttime Holmes that was the curious incident
I was just thinking that I'm going to watch me some Columbo, specifically, this episode, "Lady In Waiting", tonight when I sit down to eat dinner, and here it is. It's going to be an enjoyable, entertaining and delicious time indeed.
"wez4517," That was a lame excuse AND a lame bit of dialogue from the writing staff. In real life 1) her mother, 2) her fiance or 3) the detective would have chimed in unison "Oh really?! . . . THIS doesn't pass the 'smell test.'"
@@Richard_Strakerand even so, the fact that she made appointments would show she was convinced she would go free, which would be true is she was innocent
"MrLucky5001," TV's 'Mr. Lucky' would have DEFINITELY remembered Susan Clark -- especially in those no-panty-lines, tight, brown pants. And others have commented on the feminine charms of Ms. Clark. Where were you?!
If you love watching Columbo like me then buy a whole dvd box set that is not uncut and is reasonably priced. Episodes on tv have moments cut out and you have the adverts too every 7 minutes
Not really. He does not carry a gun and refuses to go to the police range to do his annual target practice to continue to be on the force. Although he believes he never needs to have a gun to catch his criminals, he is reckless in not practicing to use one as a law enforcer dealing with murders, he puts himself and others at risk by not being armed or properly practiced in knowing how to use one. Its the only time I ever really disagreed with him.
@@gutz1981 I’ve always thought of it like Matthew Quigley…”I said I never had much use for one. Never said I didn't know how to use it.” Of course we know that not to be true, but it’s fun to think that way.

3:29 - 4:03 The beautiful music cue by the wonderfully diverse Billy Goldenberg 'suggests' here: brain work, investigating, finding that ONE last clue. It's successfully and appropriately re-inserted in subsequent episodes. I'll go out on a limb and suggest true "Columbo" fans never tire of hearing it.
Susan Clark (Miss Chadwick) was married to football player Alex Karras, who played Mongo from "Blazing Saddles", which was directed by Mel Brooks, who later directed Leslie Nielsen in "Dracula: Dead and Loving It".
Ahhhhhhhh, the 70's --------and bell bottom pants ! Susan Clark looked VERY, VERY good in therm. ----------I remember seeing this, with Dad. he & I LOVED Peter Falk, & we loved Columbo. Susan Clark has no idea Columbo is weaving his trap for this murderess. She, like all the others, has no idea just how smart Columbo is. ---------------MJL< 76 y/o
"michaellazzeri2069," . . . And for sure back then Susan Clark has a pretty good idea that GOOD, very fetching look in those TIGHT brown pants had quite the impact on the male audience -- you, your dad and all generations.
I think having the key would have precluded anyone needing to break in, which is what would have triggered the alarm. I may be wrong, but I don't think home alarm systems 50 years ago involved a keypad and code that would silence the alarm.

"bluerev," It would not have been condescending if she'd simply added " . . . for your wife; of course."
Condescendingly "gave." "Gifted" is a made up word. Gift is a noun. The verb is give or gave. I hate pointless neologisms.

Conclusion is: after the court verdict don't let Colombo on your property without a warrant
The first question a potential murderer should have asked in L.A. was, "Which detective will be assigned the case?"

Susan Clark was a magnificent actress and very easy to look at!!!!
"screechowl75," Her tight, TIGHT brown pants certainly added to the joy.
Absolutely!
When she bought the car and changed her clothes/hairstyle before the death, it raised his hackles.
Oh so you knew you were going to change your style? AHA!
That actor playing the judge was around for about 800 years. He had a couple of roles in the original Star Trek. Just another Hollywood pro!
Um...no one can live for 800 years. 😕
He was also in Creepshow, which also featured Leslie Nielsen. All he wanted was for Bedelia to bring him his cake.
Man, there were a lot of those actors and actresses in the 70s that were around for 800 years. They were always guest starring on 70s crime shows.
@@DavidRay_40 He played one of the skeletons in Indiana Jones
@@DavidRay_40 It's called hyperbole, Enstein. Look it up, and get an education so you can stop making stupid remarks.
This is one of my fav episodes. Great one!
It's one of the few detective characters you can't seperate from it's portrayer, maybe the only one. It would be kind of interesting to see a prequel that took place in the late 1950's or early 1960's with Columbo just starting as a detective and solving his first big case. Couldn't imagine who would have the role. Maybe someone who calls the producer and says he read the script and "would kill to play that cop."
Tony Shalhoub as Monk joins this club, too.
The butler and maid are so cute in this. Always makes me chuckle.
No they're not, they're just slow.
They aren’t sure how to act around this white man and have to act a certain way around the people in that household who clearly hold themselves above the help, which was and is common to the wealthy aristocratic elites.
Agreed. I replayed the scene a couple of times just to watch them. ❤
The music in the Columbo series is perfect
I was waiting for Alan North to pop up in the court room and say to Leslie Nielsen "Book her Frank"
I've got bad news for her, he's not going to leave you alone
Leslie Nielsen the dramatic actor was exactly the same as Leslie Nielsen the screwball actor. That’s what made him so funny.
yes the poseidon advanture
“A reorganization? Surely, you can’t be serious!”
‘I am serious. And don’t call me, Shirley.’
The thing I found most amazing about this episode is how the clothing store has a bar and billiards table in it for the men. Oh to be insanely rich in LA in the 70s.
"My name's Sergeant Columbo. Detective Lieutenant Police Squad."
Just fiction, but still... It would really take a cold "fish" to kill your own sibling and then move on as if nothing ever happened, a psychopath obviously.
Love the show. I have been watching all episodes on DVD. At this point in the middle of the last season. Then go into the later movies.
Ahh, I remember those lessons. It's not always about what you see, because sometimes it's what you don't see that is more telling.
as sherlock holmes said the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime Lestrade the dog did nothing in the nighttime Holmes that was the curious incident
I was just thinking that I'm going to watch me some Columbo, specifically, this episode, "Lady In Waiting", tonight when I sit down to eat dinner, and here it is. It's going to be an enjoyable, entertaining and delicious time indeed.
"I've got a few appointments" Yeah, everyone goes out and makes appointments on the same day as they're being trialled for murder...
"wez4517," That was a lame excuse AND a lame bit of dialogue from the writing staff. In real life 1) her mother, 2) her fiance or 3) the detective would have chimed in unison "Oh really?! . . . THIS doesn't pass the 'smell test.'"
She wasn't on trial for murder, it was a coroner's jury.
@@Richard_Strakerand even so, the fact that she made appointments would show she was convinced she would go free, which would be true is she was innocent
Ferrari 365 GTB/4, nice. And I thought Leslie Nielsen with sideburns was a sight to behold.
I just finished watching all the episodes a couple of weeks ago and I don't remember this one at all. I guess I'll have to watch the 1st season again.
"MrLucky5001," TV's 'Mr. Lucky' would have DEFINITELY remembered Susan Clark -- especially in those no-panty-lines, tight, brown pants. And others have commented on the feminine charms of Ms. Clark. Where were you?!
Back when Leslie Nielsen was a serious actor.
He was also serious in "Creepshow".
@@jackgoff2072 He was a serious actor for a long time. He never became as popular as he did when he tried comedy.
He was serious. And don’t call him Shirley.
He was always cast as the bad guy until Airplane! Not too many people could have made the shift successfully from dramatic roles to comedy.
Comedy is a serious business.
I want to watch this entire program now
If you love watching Columbo like me then buy a whole dvd box set that is not uncut and is reasonably priced. Episodes on tv have moments cut out and you have the adverts too every 7 minutes
Haha i like how Columbo is open for anything to get to the truth, even to "mystical" stuff, as shown in other episodes
Columbo is the best policeman in the world
Not really. He does not carry a gun and refuses to go to the police range to do his annual target practice to continue to be on the force. Although he believes he never needs to have a gun to catch his criminals, he is reckless in not practicing to use one as a law enforcer dealing with murders, he puts himself and others at risk by not being armed or properly practiced in knowing how to use one. Its the only time I ever really disagreed with him.
@@gutz1981 "Oh - One more thing..."
*puts 6 shots into an innocent dude"
Watch the 4 first seasons of the original Law & Order series..☺
Clearly you haven’t heard of Batman…world’s greatest detective.
@@gutz1981 I’ve always thought of it like Matthew Quigley…”I said I never had much use for one. Never said I didn't know how to use it.” Of course we know that not to be true, but it’s fun to think that way.
Love all his shows.
Please upload full episodes
There are hard to find
Thank you
There used to be an entire channel here with all the episodes. Then, Peacock decided to take it down and make you pay to stream them on their app. :(
It's on Tubi right now, you just have to sit thru 60 sec ad breaks. They seem more tolerable than the ads on Peacock and Amazon
Adoro il tenente Colombo 🥰 nn so quante volte ho visto la serie, le guarderei sempre. Hanno un fascino particolare!!! X FAVORE però caricate gli episodi in italiano e se è possibile le puntate intere. Grazie!!!! 🤗
Evviva Colombo 👏🥰
3:29 - 4:03 The beautiful music cue by the wonderfully diverse Billy Goldenberg 'suggests' here: brain work, investigating, finding that ONE last clue. It's successfully and appropriately re-inserted in subsequent episodes. I'll go out on a limb and suggest true "Columbo" fans never tire of hearing it.
Colombo can be so painfully annoying, even I was like “Would that be all, sir?”
Always good to see Marcia Wallace.
Lives around Los Angeles - Buys a Ferrari Daytona - Doesn't buy the convertible - Clearly, a psychopath!
Why not show the clip, where he solves the crime? Thank you for showing what you show.
Yes, good point, I'm sure this clip was already on UA-cam, so nothing new here!
That Ferrari Daytona is now a priceless classic worth millions
Susan Clark (Miss Chadwick) was married to football player Alex Karras, who played Mongo from "Blazing Saddles", which was directed by Mel Brooks, who later directed Leslie Nielsen in "Dracula: Dead and Loving It".
at 4:33, Peter kicks up the turf roll. I have watched this episode at least 3 times and never caught that until now.
I'm waiting for the day that everyone freaks out when the "Just one more thing..." from the outro appears in the clip.
The cart before the horse!
0:18 How is three gun shot wounds is accidental?
Oops.
Oops, not again.
Oh wow, I sure am clumsy.
Columbo is a one more thing kind of guy he's great I love columbo😍😍😍
The music was so good in the very early episodes. Billy Goldenberg composed I believe.
She could have so easily had Columbo thrown off of her property right from the get go.
What an actress!
Ahhhhhhhh, the 70's --------and bell bottom pants ! Susan Clark looked VERY, VERY good in therm. ----------I remember seeing this, with Dad. he & I LOVED Peter Falk, & we loved Columbo. Susan Clark has no idea Columbo is weaving his trap for this murderess. She, like all the others, has no idea just how smart Columbo is. ---------------MJL< 76 y/o
"michaellazzeri2069," . . . And for sure back then Susan Clark has a pretty good idea that GOOD, very fetching look in those TIGHT brown pants had quite the impact on the male audience -- you, your dad and all generations.
When he said he was compulsive did she come on to him ??... Seemed she got all excited...
No, if a burgler found the key, the alarm would still be good because the intruder would need the code to disable it! Oversight.
I think having the key would have precluded anyone needing to break in, which is what would have triggered the alarm. I may be wrong, but I don't think home alarm systems 50 years ago involved a keypad and code that would silence the alarm.
@@matthewwoelfle5533 the very early alarms just had an on /off switch so if it was an old alarm then shes right. Then later they just had a small key. But now they are all digital.
Say it with flowers. She gave him a yellow rose of friendship. How nice.
It was always their behavior and mannerisms that gave them away
Susan Clark must be some kind of actor. She made me hate her so much that I wanted her caught more than any other murderer in the history of the show. Wardrobe really helped with this, as did the script.
That’s the mom from Webster
Colombo is big
Colombo is always the same, he looks at who benefits the most from the death.
I am mildly surprised that Drebin didn't turn the courtroom into a desaster area in less than a minute...
Voice of Edna Krabappel @ 0:42
Jeez she must be a million years old by now
@@NYCZ31 unfortunately Marcia Wallace passed away in 2013
Great episode
"For the world is hollow and I have touched the sky"
I ❤ love Columbo.
We all do. "Forever" ; )
I am obsessed with Columbo..my friends don't get it..OH WELL . LOL 😆
1:02 “I just wanted to say good luck. We’re all counting on you.”
the official columbo channel has posted full episodes, clips, recaps, highlights, compilations. it has now reached it's final form: clickbait titles.
hard to keep things going with a fixed number of episodes to mine content from...
I have the Columbo Box Set. It's fantastic. Every episode including 24 TV movies
@@preving bruh how much was that?
@@jeffc2theb207 $68.25 Canadian dollars. Prime Time Deal, Jeff. Originally it was $91 but then came the Deal day and i saw it for $60 plus shipping and handling and i went for it
Pshh it's got me clicking on more clips so hopefully they keep it up!
@@preving sweet deal! im gonna look into getting it, was saddened when they took this show off netflix, needless to say i dont sub to netflix anymore...hah!!
It weird seeing Leslie Nelson playing a straight role. I expected some sort of Police Squad crossover.
The master of the comedic whit... Just don't call me Shirley!!!
Gotta love that "Oh yeah? I see." look of the lieutenant at 8:18.
If she found the courage to kill her brother why couldn't she just stand up to him instead. So many killings with no good reason's.
I can't unsee Susan Clark looking like Courtney Cox from Friends. Strikingly similar features all around.
Imagine being guilty and being questioned by Columbo. All those 'just one more thing' things would get to my nerves. I'd confess just to get some peace of mind LOL ^___^
