The perfect "gotcha" moment of all the Columbo's is when and the way Falk looks at Cassidy when he gets out of the handcuffs. Perfect. And the director's angle sells the scene completely, right up to Falk's wink at the end.
8:48 "i knew you could do it" and then the wink. Perfect. Columbo messaging him that he could do anything (including an illusion to do a complicated murder)
The man (Jack Cassidy) had an impeccable sense of sartorial elegance in addition to the immense talent as a consummate performer. Also, his affinity for wearing fine timepieces such as the effervescent Cartier Tank and a lovely Jaeger-Lecoultre was abundantly evident on each of the three episodes he appeared in.
What a great homage to an immensely talented actor. By far my favourite culprit. Cartier Tank, Le Coultre (later Jaeger-LeC.) and his flamminaire (lighter) DuPont. He was the embodiment of elegance; self confidence and eloquence. Murder by the book S01E02 was so good that producers decided to change it to S01E01. What a start! Falk + Cassidy + Spielberg = the dreamed episode .
@@lhabitnoir Yes indeed! Alas, we were deprived of such a rare talent, and so prematurely by way of self-immolation. Chiefly owing to irredeemable addiction, neglect, and bouts of schizophrenia.
Favorite jack line? Publish or Perish. Car accident in parking lot at bar' old women says to him "if I were in your condition I would have called a cab" Greenleaf replies "And If I was in your condition madam, I would call a plastic surgeon" lol
no, when columbo comments that he has two bottle of champagne ready so he must be going down to san diego with someone. jack replies 'im capable of drinking those without help, and a great deal more than that'
All, the early, Columbos' were pure gold. They just don't write (or act) like that anymore...Jack Cassidy was one of the best guest stars and died way too young!
The more I see of Jack Cassidy's work, the more impressed I am. He was always my favorite villain on Columbo, and his comedic role in the "He & She" TV series from 1967 (look for that on UA-cam) was hilarious, and also revealed a truly remarkable singing voice.
not sure if you guys cares but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on kaldrostream. I've been streaming with my brother for the last couple of days =)
Love that line right at the start; "I was informed about it when I came off stage..." Straight away Columbo seems intrigued - volunteers an alibi before he's even asked to provide one. Genius writing!
I've watched that episode a bunch of times - it's maybe my favorite - and I just caught that in this video, and then read this. Over-volunteering always catches Columbo's ear.
Cassidy was the best villain...Just was so natural as the murderer...The magician episode, NOW U SEE HIM, was the best episode ever... Nimoy as the murdering surgeon was outstanding as well... They all were great but those 2 are my favorite
Totally agree, a brilliant talent gone too soon. He’s been gone so long, people seem to have forgotten this unique talent, loved him in Eiger Sanction.
Csssidy was great in all 3 episodes he played in. It is sad he died so tragically. He was the same age as Peter Falk. We could have enjoyed his acting for 40 more years, had it not been for that terrible fire
@@michaellorusso4912 no. He did not die from aids. He died in 1976 when aids was not prevalent. He was a big alcoholic and his death stemmed from that.
Jack was absolutely the best Columbo villain ever, 3X. That's because he was playing himself. According to both Shirley Jones and David Cassidy Jack was vain, insecure, arrogant, hungry for fame and more than a bit delusional. He channeled all those qualities into his Columbo villains.
@Songs Mirth I love Trump too! Glad you agree. Let's hope after Trump wins in 2020 Eric Trump wins in 2024 and 2028 and the most beautiful woman in the USA, Ivanka Trump wins in 2032 and 2036, then I will be dead and not care.
Best moment in the series for me. "I knew you could do it" 7:08 The 'he knows' scene in the best episode of the series with the best villain of the series.
I'm shocked Riley Greenleaf's faux drunken rampage in Publish or Perish is missing here! That was Jack having the time of his life and was one of the funniest and most enjoyable villain scenes in the series!
The funniest line of all of Cassidy's appearances was in Murder By the book when Columbo said: "...because I think it'd be fun to be neighbors for a couple of weeks", and Cassidy replies with a clipped and hilarious "YEA-heh".
It's really weird to see these now and realize they at that time are younger than I am now. When I saw these I thought they were pretty old. Wow. One time on a bus an old lady (probably not all that old actually) made me get off my seat for her elderly husband so he could have a seat...(might've been her dad, it's a long time ago and all people over 30-80 were great enigmas in terms of their ages)...and she glared fiercely at me and said "You'll be old one day too, you know!" and I jumped on my big sister's lap and tucked my head in her neck. I was terrified. (my sister was probably who she was mad at, actually, because she was quite the hippie then) VIVA COLUMBO!!!!
Such a shame Cassidy died so (relatively) young. He always put in a great performance. Outside of Columbo, he was superb as the camp information broker/spy in The Eiger Sanction. RIP.
Rafferty1968 oh thankyou wae trying to remember where I'd seen Jack before, he was so good in that movie, sleazy and cunning, exactly like Santini, no one did sleazy like him, brilliant acting.
When I say brilliant, I mean he was over thf top, cocky, bold, engaging, smarmy and willing to go toe to toe with Columbo. Columbo had his number BIG time!!
That's right.He started suspecting him,but could not wrap up that case because he needed a motive,then he looked at Jessie Jerome's typewriter and found exactly what he needed !!!
I like when in Now You See Him episode when Santini is not giving Columbo an alibi and saying " Was I here....or was I here" and Columbo says "Don't do this to me Sir...I don't know where the hell you were". 😂😂😂😂
IAN PAYNE correct, starring Gene Barry who starred in the 1950s SciFi classic movie The War of the Worlds, and you can tell this was the first episode as Columbo doesn't look dishevelled in it.
@Here's Johnny He might have been an alcoholic but that was an horrific way to go. No one deserves to die that way. Poor poor man and he was very young as well the same age I am now which is 49.
Jack Cassidy is friendly looking villain. Robert Culp and Jack Cassidy is perfectly matched Columbo villain. Like Dial M for murder’s Ray Milland. Jack Cassidy is noble british accent villian.Sometime he showed murder like an art. Peter Falk like Cassidy as a counterpart actor!!!!! If NG scene is added Columbo seems more fun! RIP Falk and Cassidy!!!!!!🙏
Thank you for uploading the classic Columbo detective scenes. I noticed you made a video of the Best of Jack Cassidy and the Best of Robert Culp. Can you make a Best of Patrick McGoohan? Peter Falk and Patrick were really great friends and I enjoy seeing them on screen together.
8:35 -- Columbo is so smart and the magician is so arrogant and so pretentious. The magician (Cassidy) is like _"HAHA! You fool! I'm too good at this, you're going to be humiliated in front of everyone here, haha!"_ Columbo is like _"Hehehe, do it. Come on, make my day. HAHA! You did it ... (wink) ... that's all I needed, thank you ... you're done, hehe!"_
I recently watched all 3 of the episodes with Jack Cassidy, and they all end the same way. The final gotcha scene all start with Jack entering a room, where police are waiting for him. They all know he did it and are waiting for their cue to arrest him. Must've been done on purpose. Would've been funny if, in the last episode Jack appeared in ("Now You See Him"), Santini said "I have a strange sense of Deja Vu."
The wink was epic! Columbo is so confident and rather enjoying his genius in that moment. Cassidy, as always was a wonderfully poised and arrogant man that resented Falk's touche' with such vitriol. It was really a fantastic moment of tension between high-caliber stars. Personally, the wink unnerved me a bit if you are viewing it from Cassidy's lens and pleased me a great deal because Columbo is on his best gotcha behavior.
Always cracks me up how bad the singer was as the opening act for the great Santini. And that there were so many cooks and waiters running around frantically for such a small audience.
I fell asleep last night before i could watch an episode of 'Cannon' e guest-starred on! It sounded great & had other good guest stars too. How shocked i am to find that 'Cannon' s just not on UA-cam even in clips, but also according to my Roku's search feature, not streaming on any channels, either! Come on, it's Quinn Martin Production!! It was on for most of the '70s!
Superb actor. Cassidy played the villain in three episodes of Columbo, with each character being utterly distinct from the other. It takes an actor of enormous skill to portray insincerity. In the hands of a less capable performer, it could come across as merely bad acting. If only Cassidy had been able to do more.
9:54 With this song the atmosphere of Columbo was sometimes a bit creepy. You can really feel how bipolar Cassidy was. He could play deranged murderers ike no one else.
I am a Columbo fan (original, 80's and 90's version) Both were great. The original had the better villains. The best of villains were Jack Cassidy, Robert Culp and the sleeper was William Shatner.
Jack was a badass villain. I love this actor. Such a smooth likable miscreant. Yeah, Im hooked on Columbo since I was a child. Im now 48. Good Tv grows with time
My favourite is when he tells Louis Jourdan he new it was him as soon as he met him because he shared a meal with a poisoned man and never went to hospital
The format for Columbo episodes was "how do ya catch em" rather than "whodunnit" already knowing that the prime suspect had committed the crime put the villain up against it. Suave and urbane Jack Cassidy was perhaps along with Patrick Mcgoohan the epitome of the bad guy.
Jack Cassidy was THE selection to play the vain Ted Baxter on the Mary Tyler Moore show but was committed elsewhere. I can't imagine a different 'Ted' but I'm sure he would have been very good. Everytime Columbo puts Jack Cassidy or Robert Culp through his meat grinder I feel for them, even if they are playing murderers.
Jack Cassidy was my absolute favorite actor in the Columbo series for his elegance, classiness and raw talent
Fantastic guy, a real nice man

Jack got what he deserved.
@morbeus Morbeus double exposure had Robert Culp. Another Columbo villan.
Late 80’s & 90’s episodes had way too many “sirs” as Falk began over playing the part. Scripts weren’t as crisp as these 70’s classics.
I just find these so darn entertaining; these were so well put together I can watch them over and over.
