Since all his wines were kept in the same place, he should have already tasted a random wine in the course of living. I am sure he had wine everyday and found out it was overheated long before Columbo reminded him of the 109 degree day.

    Falk was *sublime* as Columbo. Equally superb were the writers of these story lines; they are amazingly good, and as a 'crime' TV series this was the first to show everything in reverse. Instead of a mystery that's solved at the end and the killer is revealed, we already know the killer within the first five minutes. The payoff is Columbo reconstructing the crime using clues we all missed, and the "gotcha" scene at the end. A perfect way to present this material. Rest in peace, Peter Falk. You were truly great.

    I think this montage really shows that there were three pillars in making Columbo work. Peter Falk, the writers, and the villains. Each actor/actress really brought these villains to life. Whether you hated them, felt pity for them, or reveled in their defeat. Columbo winning wouldn't work if you didn't feel the villains were worthy of Columbo's talent.

    I assume the wine cellar is at least partially underground and windowless- even at 109 outside and no AC, it seems unlikely it would reach 150 degrees...? Still one of my favorite episodes

    Love Candidate For Crime's murderer. Dude immediately starts to detail EVERYTHING that happened after the "shot" fired clearly, as soon as the smallest amount of scrutiny or even a half implication was posed he started to get REALLY angry, and when Columbo said the quiet part out loud that the shooter was still in the room he went full forensics mode, detailing every last detail of the scene. The trajectory, the point of impact, the "calculation" of the aiming, everything. He was so desperate to paint himself as the victim to cover up the fact he was the exact opposite, and that is exactly what gave him away.

    To the person running the Columbo UA-cam channel/whoever put this video together...
    You used the wrong clip for Season 3 Episode 4, Double Exposure. You had that title displayed, but the clip that played in this video was NOT from that episode.
    The clip that played was from Season 2, Episode 8, "Double Shock". "Double Exposure" was an episode that had Robert Culp play the murderer in it, not the twin brothers seen here. I guess you guys running the channel mixed it up because both episodes had "Double" in the title and you used the wrong one by mistake.
    I'm sorry, sir [or madame].

    It was a feature of detective series of the period that there had to be no doubt of that the accused person was actually guilty. Being found guilty by a jury in court was not enough; the murderer always HAD to confess at the end of the show. This was how shows like Columbo and Perry Mason always ended.

A little bumbling by an interrogator goes a long way... RIP Lieutenant Columbo!

    The Problem with _Any Old Port in a Storm,_ is that Columbo swiped that bottle of wine without a warrant and then set up his little test. The evidence and even Adrian's confession would arguably have been thrown out illegally obtaining the evidence.
    I liked that you included _Candidate for Crime_ along with _Publish or Perish_ since that's one of the few times one episode referenced another. In Publish, Columbo is explaining how when he tries to write a book about the case with the Senatorial candidate he gets writer's block.

    • @FIREBRAND38
      @FIREBRAND38 7 місяців тому +3

      @user-bf3jr7cu7z But if he hadn't revealed he had stolen the wine and that's what they had in the restaurant Adrian wouldn't have destroyed his wine cellar in a fit of rage. For a police procedural they relied more on Peter Falk's acting and how the stories played out than actual procedure. I mean, some episodes where he pulls evidence out of his coat pocket and it's not protected in an evidence bag sends me right up the wall. In _Mind Over Mayhem_ he recovers a burnt matchstick from the crime scene and when he confronts the murderer about it he literally pulls it from his pocket to show the killer.
      Anyway to your comment I like to think that Adrian wasn't so asexual that he would rather go to prison for manslaughter than marry his secretary when it came down to it.

    • @artmallory970

      Columbo snatching the bottle wouldn’t hold up, but they still had motive - Carsini wanted to keep the vineyard, his brother wanted to sell it.

      @user-bf3jr7cu7z If Adrian didn't know it was his wine, then why was he throwing out all of his wines. He didn't know they were ruined. Of course, the temperature would have gotten to the same degree in the wine cellar even if it didn't get to 109. Adrian had to know that anything in the high nineties would have ruined all his wines. That is why he had the AC on in the cellar to begin with. He should have checked the moment he got back.

    In "Any Old Port In a Storm" The killer says freedom is relative to him. Go to jail for killing his half-brother, or spend the rest of his life in a loveless marriage with his secretary who he referred to as an Iron Maiden who was turning the thumbscrews on him. She lied to the police to protect Adrian her boss, by telling them she saw Rick's car leaving the winery the day of the murder, when in fact it never did. Ironically the murdered man, who also played Capt. Burton in "Land Of The Giants", is still alive and runs a winery of his own.

    The ending of "Publish or Perish" always bothered me a little bit.
    While it's true that the week old ending couldn't have been written 9 months ago, I don't think the weight of that piece of testimony compares to the mysteriously appearing appearing key that was dated after the death of the victim. Personally, I've always found that that was a far more important piece of evidence considering that the murderer was the only one that Columbo told about that little inconsistency. I think that ending would have been far more impactful had the episode finished on the key rather than the manuscript.

He was a household name after "The Champ" debuted in 1931. Wallace Beery & Jackie Cooper were magic together in that movie.

    In the wine episode I don't understand why Adrian did not buy the land when his half-brother Enrico put it up for sale. Enrico inherited the land and Adrian inherited the winery itself and the cash. All this could have been avoided if Adrian outbid the Marino Brothers and bought the land himself from his half-brother.

    • @SirPaulMuaddib
      @SirPaulMuaddib 7 місяців тому +1

      Very good point. Perhaps Enrico was taking a dig at his brother because he was pompous. On the other hand Enrico said he would take care of him I think by providing him with a position in the purchased company (at least that's what I remember).

    • @nicholasschroeder3678
      @nicholasschroeder3678 7 місяців тому +1

      I think the cash was not extensive enough for that, certainly not enough to buy Rick out and continue his infatuation with rare vintages. Rick knew that Adrian was holding out on him, was too high and mighty to make the winery a profitable business. Adrian just wanted to make prestige wine. Adrian really wasn't a very nice man or brother, and Rick had finally had enough of the arrangement. It didn't help things that Adrian looked down his nose at him: though Adrain had the classy tastes and manners, Rick was the classier guy, as evidenced by his lady and friends, who seemed thoroughly decent. Rick was an exceedingly handsome playboy, and liked the fast cars, but he actually seems to be an OK guy.
