Columbo notices more in a sleep-deprived state than the cops around him who had a decent night's sleep. I love the reference to the wife. All the nuggets of information he drops about her make her sound so interesting. She's the most well-written character that we never actually see.
And I'm not sure whether most people appreciate the little nuggets he drops about how he treats (and clearly, loves) his wife. E.g. "Four o'clock in the morning, my wife wants to watch Bette Davis. So, we're watching Bette Davis..."
"It takes a great actor to play a shitty actor pretending to be upset." -- does it though ? because it would be indiscernible from simply a shitty actor pretending to be upset.
He's one of those special '70s actors who always played a character that gave one the Heeby-Jeebies. But he did it so well, that he made the show work, often in the favor of the 'good guys like Columbo. It is a testement to him that he was one of the actors selected as one of Colombo's quarry.
I like the part where the cop balances a handgun on the end of a pencil then points it point-blank in columbo's face while the pencil is resting on the trigger.
Jack did a nice job portraying a bad liar, Greenleaf. His other criminal encounters with the Columbo, his characters seem smoother and a bit more clever.
Columbo figures out who's guilty 15 minutes into the crime, clamps down on their pants leg like a pit bull and NEVER lets go till the sergeant takes them to jail.
It's fun to see Paul Shenar as Sgt. Young, a character who's really a budding first-rate detective, that directly helps Lt. Columbo, unlike Sgt. Willson (played by Bob Dishy), who largely helps Columbo as a result of fortuitous accidents. Paul Shenar would be immortalized for his brilliant portrayal as Bolivian drug lord Alejandro Sosa, in Scarface (1983).
I got into a text argument with a guy recently about Colombo. He didn't understand that Colombo could have a conversation with a suspect about two different things at the same time... but the suspect didn't realise. That was the brilliance of the writing.
Great point. Also, I really enjoyed the few times Columbo got pissed off, it was just great to watch Peter Falk's range. Even when his character was upset though, he still seemed very in control at all times, and thats a testament to brilliant acting
@@RDSports5 one of my favorites was when Leonard Nymoy played the heart surgeon, and he actually laughed at Columbo, up until he slammed I think it was a clock down on the desk, and asked him what was so funny, I had never seen Columbo that angry, and yet he still kept it together, wiped the smirk right off the good Doctor’s face
@@TJay41 Might be my favorite episode, great call. He slammed the coffee carafe. It was a brilliant scene by Peter Falk, and just a master class back and forth from him and Leonard Nimoy in that episode 👍
While I was just casually watching this in the background, I instantly perked up 3:08 when I heard the unmistakable voice of James B. Sikking. He went on to do some impressive supporting parts in films like Outland, Star Trek III, and Narrow Margin, and played Lt. Howard Hunter for the entire run of Hill Street Blues-a very good actor who stayed under the radar for most of his career.
Yes, another always-working actor of the day. He was 40 years old here and that seven-year recurring role in HSB was a real break. Plus, he's still alive (as of this writing in 2022.)
I can't understand why Colombo doesn't recognise 'the great Santini' After all he has arrested him for murder previously. Santini must have changed his identity. Maybe Colombo doesn't remember him due sleep deprivation. Colombo has been up all night watching a Betty Davies movie.
Well, when he saw The Great Santini, he immediately pegged him as his prime suspect even though he seemed to have an iron clad alibi, so if anything he's on the ball.
He also didn't recognize Robert Culp and Patrick McGoohan. Even though Patrick McGoohan would have been harder to be recognized because he looked completely different in all of the four episodes he played in.
@@realenglishman580 An in at least one of those episodes he disguised himself as an old man (though, who ended up looking very much like "old Patrick McGoohan)
Jack Cassidy did such an amazing job in his three appearances during this series’ run, but his best performance was Santini in season 5. Remarkable actor taken well before his time. He and Peter Falk had a great rivalrous chemistry. May they both rest in peace.
Yes, Jack Cassidy, father of David Cassidy, excellent actor. Always enjoyed his acting, sinister at times, and 'smirks' on occasion. Thoroughly adore Mr. Peter Falk, our Columbo. 😉
@@jamesdewane1642 Not really a comedy moment. You're reading too much into it. A director and actors who have no idea about firearms safety staging a scene. Really don't think they were mining comedy gold in a murder mystery.
That's Ted Gehring who, as you noted, was working constantly from the mid 60's through the 80's with hundreds of appearances in many shows. He did have a few recurring roles within some series such as "The Family Holvak" (as "Chester Purdle,") "Days of Our Lives" (as "Sid Forbes,") and "Alice" (as "Charlie.") He was 44 years old here and died in 2000 at age 71.
For those who don't know Jack Cassidy was David Cassidy's dad and if you wondered where David got his singing voice from look Jack up, he had a fine voice.
when I’m home sick my go to for back to back viewing our Colombo little house on the Prairie Bob Ross, Joy painting the Andy Griffith show gunsmoke or Mission impossible the old series
The other detective played Alejandro Sosa in the Scarface remake with Al pacino, he was a good actor.. Sadly he died a few years after Scarface in 1989.
In the 70s TV was growing and they didn't have enough new shows so they played old movies at least in NYC where we had 7 stations. There was the late show at night and the late late show. The days I was young but I remember the morning movies. The afternoon movies. My mother left the TV on so when I came in from playing with all of the kids on my block I would watch part of the movies. I remember watching the Wolfman 1941. Invasion of the Bodysnatchers 1956. Blondie and Dagwood movies. Them! 1956 with the giant ants and my favorite the Bad Seed 1955. My mother told me when I asked about a movie it was the Postman Always Rings Twice 1946 with Lana Turner and John Garfield. And they played all of the silly 60s TV shows. I Dream of Jeannie. Bewitched. Gilligan's Island. Munsters, etc. And I Love Lucy. On Sundays it was Abbott and Costello followed by a 1930s gangster movie. It changed in the 80s. Stupid talk shows instead of movies. By 89 or 90 they totally changed the stations channel 9 and 11 and 5 was Fox. I wish it was the early 70s now.
There’s one thing about these murders that always bothers me. Greenleaf thought that his alibi was ironclad, and flew in the face of his lawyer’s suggestions in order to provide it. Why? Why do this murderers always shy away from bringing in lawyers? Ego, probably. They think they can handle it themselves.
What if Columbo just kept silently staring at Greenleaf, who in response to the pressure kept talking and eventually confessed - only for Columbo to say, "sorry, I haven't slept right recently, I was staring off into space again" before arresting Greenleaf
I'm half Italian and half Polish , and growing up I had 3 heroes on TV : Thomas Banacek , Carl Kolchak and Lieutenant Columbo ... good times .... good times ...
Another extremely bad lawyer in the Columbo series. Instead of telling his client "Do not answer any question, do not make any statement. I insist", he says "You don't have to answer that question". Ridiculous 😆
@@earlsmith7428 A lawyer who is worth a sht will save you from yourself. In my childhood I watched my lawyer dad jump down people's throats to shut them up almost every week (or so it seemed). Most people don't realize that cops are specialized professionals whose job it is to get people to incriminate themselves. Your lawyer is your specialized professional whose job it is to keep you away from incriminating yourself, among other things. Before the dumbass even starts to speak, the lawyer should be throwing his coat over the guy's head and pushing him out of the room. It's that important to say nothing, and the mouthier you are, the more you need a lawyer who will stop at nothing to shut you the eff up. My dad regularly told clients they could either follow this advice or get another lawyer. The client in this case probably had a competent lawyer at some point in his life, but fired my dad and hired this wet noodle instead. Travesty.
@@earlsmith7428 "You don't have to answer that question" leaves it up to the client to answer the question or not; it simply tells the client he has no oblighation to answer; "Do not answer any question, do not make any statement. I insist" leaves no room for choice, it sends to the client the clear message that he MUST NOT answer questions or make statements, period.
@@keythdanielsen5533 it is. But Jack was also a living wreck of a man, his legacy obviously affected David. Hollywood is HELL on children in the business. It's rather a miracle if they make it to adulthood intact. Shawn pays tribute to his brother on stage..it's worth looking up. ❤
The cop who showed Columbo the gun must gave moved to New York and joined the NYPD and advanced in his career. Because he shows up in the Hill Street precinct in the 80s working as a lieutenant leading their SWAT-lite team.
Paul Shenar who played Sosa in Scarface working with Columbo in a couple scenes in this episode featuring Jack Cassidy Robert Loggia who played Frank Lopez from Scarface was also in another Columbo episode featuring Jack Cassidy Now you see Him …Cassidy’s final appearance on Columbo

Lawyer needs to amend that don't have to. Absolutely should not have at all.
Greenleaf was trying to impress his innocence on to Columbo. Why would a guilty man admit that? Pure psychological manipulation.
He was proud of the alibi he'd spent all night setting up, he just had to tell someone about it.
@@FFKonoko that's not how our justice system works bud, some cops don't go for what's correct, or you can fumble your words and implicate yourself in something you didn't actually do, we have these rights for a reason

And William Shatner and George Hamilton !
They keep getting off on technicalities because nobody reads them their rights when they're arrested.

Jack Cassidy is so good, he can pull off trying to look like a bad actor when he's not.
When actors pull off acting they're acting, it is a joy to watch
Alot of comic actors can do that. E.g. Leslie Nielsen. In some respects even Richard Burton.
He's one of those special '70s actors who always played a character that gave one the Heeby-Jeebies.
But he did it so well, that he made the show work, often in the favor of the 'good guys like Columbo.
It is a testement to him that he was one of the actors selected as one of Colombo's quarry.
Is he hoppalong cassidy's son from a previous relasho ?
Richard Basehart and Honor Blackman did that in "Dagger Of The Mind".
Columbo is a different breed of talent smart, detail oriented & a deep thinker. I enjoy watching him break down the crime step by step.

Excellent episode!! Jack Cassidy, as always, played a diabolical killer, but he was no match for the Lieutenant!!! 👍👍🙂
Ha. He never is!
I never noticed how the street cop points the revolver toward Columbo's face 😂😂😂
There was a really funny scene where Jack Cassidy insulted this woman in the parking lot. That was his alibi causing a fake accident.
2:54 James B. Sikking before he joined the cops on Hill Street Blues. I still hate that at 3:09 he's pointing a loaded gun at Columbo's head.

Columbo could ask nose candy from Sosa. He is standing next to him!
Alejandro Sosa
She's a terrific actress, this woman, Bette Davis. Forget about it."
Columbo's mind is everywhere, all at once.
His feigned shock and dismay at hearing about the death is as phony as it gets. Jack Cassidy does a great job pulling it off.
The security guard played some nice roles in The Rockford Files.
He was in an episode of MASH, also.
It’s a good thing I bought the whole box set, because these little snippets of Columbo, are just a tease. 😁
So true, haha
That policeman who shows Colombo the gun on the pencil looks like the policeman who later stared in Hill Street Blues as a sort of SWAT commander.
Very chill to watch Columbo solve a murder case.
Had Peter Falk been alive, it's interesting to see solving crimes by CSI in collaboration with Columbo's techniques and wits
When your lawyer advise you not to answer question you're not legally compeled to... just listen to him and don't.
Columbo was in "pocket full of miracles" with Bette Davis and Glen Ford....a classic 🎥

James B. Skiing. That guy went on to do great stuff as cops and captains :)
The cop who showed Columbo the gun must gave moved to New York and joined the NYPD and advanced in his career. Because he shows up in the Hill Street precinct in the 80s working as a lieutenant leading their SWAT-lite team.
the first cop with the notepad played Alejandro Sosa in Scarface
@@tookiezzz2898 Quite a change in profession… LA cop to Bolivian drug lord! 😆
Jack Cassidy- a terrific actor. I have always enjoyed him. Anything else besides acting, I don't care.
Since When did Sosa from Scarface worked as a cop 😂
Columbo work 24 hours
Should have taken his lawyers advice.
Paul Shenar who played Sosa in Scarface working with Columbo in a couple scenes in this episode featuring Jack Cassidy
Robert Loggia who played Frank Lopez from Scarface was also in another Columbo episode featuring Jack Cassidy Now you see Him …Cassidy’s final appearance on Columbo
