#Columbo #PeterFalk #Detective #Mystery #NBC - Розваги
As someone who actually remembers having watched this when it first aired, I distinctly recall never noticing that Columbo had his hands in his pockets for the entire scene.
I noticed however I didn't know what he had planned. That was definitely Epic!
@@elenawhyte9570 I owned a very heavy almost all-metal VCR at the time. I rewound that scene and just couldn't believe I missed it.
@@hblanche thanks for sharing that with me. Okay, I have to tell you my secret. I've got the collection on DVD and I watched that scene 77 * times. Am I crazy or am I a fan???
@@elenawhyte9570 I too own DVD's of every Columbo episode. Yes, we are both fans but we're definitely not crazy. :^)
@@hblanche I feel so much better now, thank you Henri!! Watching these DVDs especially now helps to keep my mind off what's globally happening with the pandemic. Glad we're both fans and not crazies!! Stay safe and be healthy!!
One of the best endings in the whole show. And the killer's faces when he feels every inch of his downfall are priceless.
Terrific acting across the board
Superbly acted. I keep watching this over and over. Everytime it pops up as a suggestion I can't help but watch it.
@@mrbillradio Exactly. I must have watched it 50 times.
And so did I!
My all time favorite Columbo episode. Have watched it on a loop at times!
The glove reveal gets all the glory, and it's a fantastic way to end things, but the Captain saying "We know what you thought, Mr. Kingston" is what cinches it for me. The reveal that he was never actually working behind Columbo's back, but playing into his hands instead.
Love whenever there's a "killer tries to get Columbo taken off the case" plotline. None of them can imagine that another well-connected criminal has tried the same thing before! I bet Columbo's superiors are pretty bored of that trick.
And of course Columbo, via Falk, plays the hapless flop perfectly. "Aw gee, they took me off da case..."
Don't forget the episode whereby the Police commissioner (Columbo's own boss) kills his wife and takes him off the case, or at least tries to misdirect him.
One two lettered response to the reveal of those gloves: HA!
For some reason I really love the 'yeah' at 7:15 too.
And what about the lawyer, Mr. Simpson (Don Ameche)? -- from the will reading scene, we know he thought something was suspicious, so he was probably just playing along as well, not letting on to Kingston that he was about to get caught.
"Well I gotta ask the Lt, it's his case." Seeing Kingston's face is priceless.
got to love when the bad guy thinks they've gt rid of Columbo by getting him kicked from the case only to find out actually he was never kicked
When they try to get Columbo off the case that makes them even more suspicious so they keep him on the case
I like how the look on everyone's faces when Columbo said no we're not looking for your finger prints and how Kingston face looked when Columbo pulled his hands out of his pockets with gloves on
We know what you thought, Mr Kingston! That was awesome.
This is a Captain who has the utmost trust and respect in Columbo.
@Henri Blanche: Has this been confirmed ?
@@michaellorusso4912 : Just watch the body language of the respective players in this scene - every little expression. It tells quite a story.
i mean, you don't become lieutenant over night, or without good reason either. honestly, id be very interested in a prequel series, where he's just starting out at the bottom of the pecking order, how much harder it would've been to go to the lengths we see him to catch these criminals (or at least prove to them that they know they did it, even if they both know he can't bring them fully to justice)
Well you know Columbo already told the Captain exactly what was going to happen and the trap he setup for him.
@@gavriellarutigliano2356 In the prequel, the Captain would have been partners with Joe Friday about 15-20 years before. I mean literally, because the actor, Barney Phillips, played Joe Friday's partner in several episodes of Dragnet. Los Angeles police department, he moved up from being a detective and partner to Joe Friday, to being Captain and Columbo's boss. Maybe at the time he was partners with Joe Friday, Columbo was still just a patrolman in uniform. I;'d like to see a scene with Friday and Columbo, Friday as sergeant and Columbo as just a regular cop, LOL.
Peter Falk was, of course, astounding as Columbo, but the WRITERS were absolutely SUPERB.
@P. Candice Goddard Point well taken, but I never forget who creates the story. As a scientist who has watched too many products hit the market and witnessed how everyone seems to forget the person who conceived of the original idea, it's important to me to remember who actually "planted the seed."
I 💘 that comment.. Columbo was a walding duck walking aimlessly as Spock has the phazars locked in.. Just a great show...
That’s right. Without a great writing No great actor can do well!! Both together makes it such a success!! I love the Columbo shows❣️
That's for sure! You can get all 10 seasons of Columbo Peacock TV on your computer FREE with I think 2 or 3 short and pleasant commercials! I have it and it works! Easy to sign up and start watching immediately! The website is not exactly clear on how to get Columbo but you'll figure it out in about 3 minutes or less.
@@scootergreen3 Do you work WITH or FOR Peacock, by any chance?
Apart from everything else in this wonderful scene, I especially love that little exchange:
"Suppose you prove it!"
"Can we?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah!"
😂
they mocked him lmao
That’s why I came back
Kingston's growing visible horror as Columbo explains how badly his goose is cooked is just exquisite. What a fantastic job Ross Martin did as Kingston.
And his absolutely brilliant acting! Superb.
J"aimerait'keus-youtube-m'est-des-series-colombo‐pour-les-acheters-merci
The interesting thing is had Columbo not been so thorough, Kingston could STILL have got away with it - or at least, used what few defenses he had to buy himself a bit more time. Columbo gradually pares away his remaining counter-arguments until he has nothing left. It's like watching an amazing game of chess - Columbo carefully removes anything he could use, then the reveal of the gloves is the checkmate.
R.I.P. him and Peter Falk
One of the BEST plot twist endings. I didn’t even realize he put his finger prints on them.
Writers never get enough credit. The entertainment industry relies on them yet they are rarely mentioned.
@@toshikotanaka3249 so true honestly, I was thinking about this the other day while watching another show. I was thinking “hmm it doesn’t make much sense when we say that persons a funny actor because it’s not them it’s the writer, the actor just portrays that writing
@@NoOne-sc1ox well, not entirely true. It’s not just the writers, the actors often add in or take out words to suit their character as well as actions and what not. Take deadpool for example, most of the jokes (without editing) in that movie were Ryan Reynolds not the writers.
Maybe just add a spoiler alert next time
he is right though, it is entrapment
8:40 Kingston's mouth is still moving, but he's run out of excuses.
Has to be the best Columbo take-down of all time! Outstanding performance by all the actors.
Yes, Ross Martin was a fine actor.
@Angie H.
Give yourselves some point credit. You Americans created this superb show - the best detective series of a very good set.
@Angie H.
"With a few exceptions, Shakespeare did not invent the plots of his plays." (Encyclopaedia B.)
Yet who would belittle his genius for that?
It's right up there with the episode with Robert Conrad playing Milo Janus.
Kingston killed two people in this episode so at least Columbo can prove he killed one person .
On top of everything else in this killer scene, I love Falk's soft delivery of "No....we're not looking for YOUR fingerprints."
I love Columbo's face when he pulls his hands out his pockets. The look just says "stop it you're embarrassing yourself. Just give it up" perfectly. If they ever make a remake of Columbo I will refuse to watch it. I wouldn't want these memories tainted. Peter Falk created the Columbo we all love no one else.
Yes exactly
this video made me search up who columbo was
Coming soon, on Amazon Prime, it's Danny Devito starring in the New Adventures of Columbo.
Be careful, John
My fingerprints are all over your memories
Benedict Cumberbatch as Colombo.)
My favorite part of Columbo was how understated he was -- the exact opposite of arrogance. He went about as a slow witted bumbler. Even when he did the "reveal", those were understated. Just wonderful.
A disarming modesty and humility, that's his hallmark.
That's the whole point. The killer gets sloppy and slips up because they assume Columbo is so dumb he can barely find his car keys! This is my all time favorite episode.
@@AnonYmous-ry2jn Yes, that's Columbo's biggest asset - his humility. It has benefited him greatly over all the arrogant killers.
"This is entrapment!" Funny words coming from a man who just got caught trying to entrap his own aunt!
Yes, it's ironic. A drowning man will clutch at straws.
That's not what entrapment means...?
@@ivanppillay914 A drowning man will grab the point of a sword...
This was a very satisfying episode; the murderer was such a jerk.
And a fantastic actor
I love this episode too. Only thing as I was watching it I felt weird. It is like Columbo arrested Artemus Gordon. from The Wild Wild West. I always liked him
@Andrew Heller I have seen them all, Iove all of them
Aren't they all??? They think they planned it all so perfectly but their egos do them in all the time. spoilers: The last one in 2003 hide the body in his club how arrogant do you have to be!!! Right under his nose.
Sure but the real crime is that shirt and tie combo. The 70s were great.
All the main actors in this scene have passed on. RIP to all.
Didn't realise that. Yeah respect to them all forget how old Colombo is. What an ending - superb stuff.!!
:(
Yeah, that was 50 years ago.
it was filmed 267 years ago
@@vborovikov LOL
The actor played the criminal so well that he should have got an award for that. It’s very believable.

+dusty rhodes: Has this been confirmed ?
@@michaellorusso4912 It certainly is! Lol
@@henriettaparks586 I always remember him as the Baron Von Schtupp in "The Great Race" with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.
AARON, THANKS!! I COMPLETLY, FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT!!
One of my favorite things is to watch the different reactions of the murderers when they're finally caught. Some are calm and accepting, others seem sad, some even seem amused at Columbo's talents. This one always stuck out to me because of that lip tremble: the vision of a man who thought he finally had the world at his fingertips at one moment to realizing he was completely and utterly done for in the next.
The world was almost at his fingertips but was undone by someone else's.
And that was some terrific acting by that actor isn't it? The lip tremble action felt real
My favorite was a chemist who made explosive cigars. In the end Columbo "happens" to bring a case of the rigged ones onto a tram where they can't escape, fakes of course after the guy panics trying to get rid of them. His manic laughter as the relief floods in that he's "only" getting arrested for murder was amazing.
Wasn't Patrick McGoohan the murderer who calmly congratulated Columbo when Columbo got him at the end of his episode and who was even pleased to see how he had gotten it all right, because Columbo couldn't do a thing against him because he was a secret government agent or something....?
@@krishnbimanagar Watching the crumbling of Ross Martin's character shows us what acting talent is all about.
The thing about Columbo, there was always a Twilight Zonish element to it. Was there really a "Mrs. Columbo"? Was he really a human, or something else? Could this level of intelligence come from a Detective making $30k a year? For me, this element was the key to the very best episodes. And, this one clearly has it.
You're coming too close to the truth
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO SEND YOU TO THE COLUMBO DIMENSION
Mrs. Columbo definitely…did NOT exist.
@@MilkyWayGrump 😂🤣
You're right!
I mean wealth has little to do with intelligence we see that even today.
Love Kingston’s lip quivering at the end…. Priceless and great acting…
When he pulled his hands out of his pocket with the gloves on priceless 😂😂😂
He had the gloves on because he was secretly making plastic dollies in his secret laboratory in Colorado..😁😁🎈🎈🎈🛸🛸🛸🛸🐸🐸🐸
@@TheKonga88 I'm sure you're joking but I seriously think that he had those gloves on because the steering wheel of his car was very hot that day. What an amazingly wonderful coincidence!

If I ever plotted and planned the perfect murder and carried it out and killed someone and Colombo showed up, I'd give myself up right then and there!
I would first wait until he asked me one more thing under times
@@mikebe41
😆😆👍👍
And rid him of the joy of the hunt? How rude of you. I assume that many of them, likewise, play is game as a courtesy.
Not me. I have a fool proof plan. First, I'd invite columbo into my oppulent mansion, to impress him with my wealth and intelligence. Then I'd offer to help him understand any clues he might be having difficulty with, to throw him off the scent. Finally, I'd give him my daily schedule so he knows I'm not trying to run away, and then he could approach me any time of the day or night to ask any questions....
...oh, wait.
Unless you could get Perry Mason for a lawyer.
The thing I love about this scene is that from his eyeline Kingston is begging the woman he just framed for murder to validate the fact that Columbo is framing him.
The way Kingston says “y….you touched them??” Was priceless and such a great delivery! I could feel the shock in his voice! Just one of many masterful pieces of acting in this scene!
Quite simply THE greatest detective ever. Love Columbo
Well, maybe, as there was 'Turk', which was similar to Columbo.
Cant agree there youf
Andrew Drabble .
What about Telly Savalas as Kojak
The only negative aspect is when they increased the episode length to 2 hours for the later series. They seemed to drag sometimes.
I absolutely LOVE how livid Dale is in this episode when he tries to frame her a first time and Columbo just completely dissmisses any possibility that his aunt might be a criminal like it was the most ridiculous thing he ever heard in his life.
Hell yeah, it's always brilliant when the murderer tries to frame someone else and Columbo just ignores the false trail.
Kim Hunter was very well cast as the nerve-wracked Aunt Edna. Around this same time (fall 1971), she also had a good role in an episode of 'Cannon', playing the widow of a private-investigator friend of the title character.
@Ron MacKinnon She also played Dr. Zira in the movie planet of the apes.
That actor was so good at going from arrogant to confused to shocked to busted 👏👏
Ross Martin was a brilliant actor and died too young.
Every single Columbo episode or even scene is rewatachable endless emounts of times without getting boring. There’s nothing comparable.
We watch the same episodes over and over. I never complain. But I have not ever seen this one.
Согласны. Всё серии замечательные, если показывают, то смотрим с удовольствием.
“This Columbo, he pretends to be stupid , but he’s really smart as a tack”
+2bhonest: Has this been confirmed ?
"Are you calling me liar?!"
Sharp as a tack
There's nothing like the goosebumps you get at the "gotcha" moment of a really great Columbo episode, such as this one. Not all of them are this perfect -- but the ones that are, are amazing.
I love the format of the Columbo mysteries. In most mysteries, we have 5-6 suspects and we don't which one of them did it until the very end. We're as much in the dark as the detective is. In a "Columbo" episode, we know who the killer is right from the start of the episode. We know how he did it and we know how he covered his tracks. We (the audience) have all the information that Columbo lacks and the fun is watching him try to figure it out.
Columbo had the gloves on the whole time. The case was wrapped up before the murderer even knew he was tangled up.
One of the best "Gotcha" moments in television.
My favorite episode for so many reasons: a great cast, written and directed wonderfully, and Ross Martin's reaction when Columbo removes his hands from his pockets...absolutely priceless!
You got it George, the look of surprise on Mr. Martin's face is epic. I agree, my favorite Columbo episode too.
Mine as well!
I went back to watch it again to see his hands stayed in his pockets.
I love how Kingston's elaborate plot to frame his aunt turned into his own trap! 😁
man, you just couldnt escape this guy no matter what. he was like a slow moving train that you saw coming but couldnt do anything about, and when columbo caught you, the evidence was so damning, you just couldnt say anything more but agree that youre done..
@@lewisner That one got me to laugh. Good one.
To be chased by Colombo is like being nibbled to death by a duck. - Peter Falk
yer columbo storys were always like the turtle and the hair, he seems way behind the murder always feet a foot and thinking ahead but he catches them in there hast every time.
@@lewisner there is an episode where he is on a holiday cruise and he solves a murder on the ship ! , he never rests ! , its called troubled waters , greaat episode !
There is one thing you could do.....you could hire Perry Mason to defend you.
I don't know how many times I've watched this clip, but I don't think I can ever get enough of watching the suspects lip quiver as he breaks down 😂
its genious no doubt
I love the mirroring of dale saying "how could you" and then when the accusation is shifted to him she goes "I can't believe this" the difference in emotion from acting and real emotion is so subtle but it's there and really showed that he never cared about her at all and he wanted this all along
Then Columbo just keeps shutting down everything he says slowly closing in on him till he gets the final snap and dale is left speachless
Best written crime/drama tv series ever. Columbo!
Damn right! Take that Sherlock!
That's not even a serious debate.
No contest! Ever since I started this excellent series I feel like I compare it to every other crime show and Columbo is always on top
You are too damn Right Bob, THE BEST EVER.
Totally agree, a total one off
The reason we love him so? Because he's never really impressed by his "betters;" he never envies or resents them either. He knows who he is, loves his work, and always sticks it to those who break the golden rule, which he genuinely believes in and works like a dog to uphold.
The best ending to any detective show EVER by light years! The sophisticated criminal's confidence dropping by the minute, subtle change of pace, innuendo and the final nail in the coffin - all flowing naturally, Falk's flawless delivery - masterpiece!!!
just.... just..... just one more thing, sir....
No background music, no tricky shots, just tight scripting, directing, editing and acting that is convincing, all come together and making it a dramatic sequence that is powerful as it is real
I COULD WATCH THIS 100 TIMES AND NEVER GET TIRED.
I have! Mostly to hear Dale Kingston say, “I hope you realize the full import of what you're saying, Lieutenant” 😂
I like how the captain is glaring at Ross Martin.
I love Capt. Wyler in this scene, how he backs Columbo up.
What do you mean it's his case? I thought...
We KNOW what you THOUGHT, Mr. Kingston.
Wonderful actor. He was also the three-eyed alien in that Twilight Zone episode.
Ross Martin is so good in this episode, the way he goes from arrogant and cocksure to panicked to completely and utterly defeated. He expresses so much with his face. I think Kingston is my favourite Columbo villain.
This is one of the best episodes ever....i love it when Ross Martin tells Columbo, "well apparently you aren't needed here so why don't you just go home and have your dinner"....hahahahahhahaha
he tried to go over columbo's head. didn't he.
Columbo's car! Lol! The man deserves a raise!
Actually it might surprise you that Columbo's car is a 1959 Peugeot 403 cabriolet. Only 504 convertibles were manufactured that year. So it's a very rare classic car. Although even today it doesn't have much value as far as collectability, it's still a classic (even more so as being Columbo's car)
The gloves, by god - time worth the length of a feature movie for the build up, and the sight of the gloves had us _screaming!_ It would be banal if you'd simply describe it, but they made it work so well in this episode. Absolutely fantastic.
Both Peter falk & the scrip writing was absolutely superb 👌
Columbo with his cigar and crumpled raincoat , the iconic trademarks from the best TV/crime series EVER from the 1960-90s. And the great Peter Falks portrayal as the grizzled detective is legendary , and the brilliance of this series will never be surpassed or even equaled.
Chris Evans. That was his own raincoat too
thx for stating the obvious
Exactly. I love Peter Falk's character. There could never be another Columbo. I was heartbroken when I found out he had passed away.
i keep hearing rumors that they want to remake this first it as was Mark Ruffalo then i hear with a female Columbo but i say no there is and always will be one Columbo and that is Peter Falks and also a new show just wouldn't work for one big reason you can't have Columbo without his cigar and with how the would is now that is never going to happen you can't smoke anywhere (i don't smoke)
@@jonnyrubberman : Metaphorically, to hazard a remake would be like trying to fart against thunder. Leave it as it is - for immortality.
Best tv detective ever. RIP Peter Falk.
+Killing DeadThings: Has this been confirmed ?
@@michaellorusso4912 hope not
Yes he is dead :( he was a legend
It's a strong boast, but this is hands-down the best gotcha of the series. Ross Martin's reaction when Columbo holds up his gloved hands is pitch-perfect.
The music has me cracking up all the time when Columbo takes his hands outta his pockets 😂😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💯‼️
5:00 Mad love to that one piece of fruit that falls on the floor. This scene's so legendary and smooth that the only thing to chew the scenery is the scenery.
Genius!
Yea I thought I was the only one who say that. I’m like y’all just going to leave that their 🤣🤣
@Banglatron hi Banglatron o/
One of my favorite episodes. I always come back to watch this once in a while. I especially love how Ross says "You touched them?" with his voice inside out. Great actors and actress.
"We KNOW what you thought, Mr. Kingston." Love that moment.
I had to watch this episode countless times to really appreciate the genius storytelling. Every major character has an arc. And it totally reverses our initial impression. Dale at first appears to be the consumate art critic with gobs of natural talent. His Aunt, at first appears to be a dotty, weird and eccentric lady. By the end of the episode, however, we learn that the Aunt was the true genius behind the famous art collection, as she was the one who actually chose the initial paintings when they were first purchased. According to her, a few turned out to be winners. Dale, however, turns out to be a not-so-special art critic who was actually riding the coattails of his Aunt's success.
Just learned something today. The actress playing Edna is Kim Hunter, who played Zira in the Planet Of The Apes movies. She was also the girl David Niven falls in love with in A Matter Of Life And Death. Also murderer Ross Martin was in real life an old friend of Peter Falk.
Don't forget that Kim Hunter also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for A Streetcar Named Desire.
ohhhhhhhhh yeah,,,,,,,,,,,,zira......yes yes ......i never would of guessed that......you made the penny drop..........kerrrrrrrching lol........
YES!!! KIM HUNTER!! STELLLLLLLA!!!
💫✨ @@henriettaparks586 YESSSS! 🤩 GR8! 💫✨
Not only an old friend but one of his acting coaches when Falk was 12 years old Ross was from Poland originally raised in NY he was a concerto violinist protege at 10 years old he spoke 7 languages he was a lawyer a boxer an accountant and an acting teacher and did some pretty good acting himself in his spare time lol. E
This is one of my favourite episodes. The late great Ross Martin played such a great baddie. He was perfect in this role.
This scene is so finely tuned. You can notice that Colombo intelligently delays the moment when he reveals his accusations to the murderer so as to be sure to have prior confirmation of the presence of the fingerprints (at 6:03). Stunning.
7:52
You can actually pinpoint the moment Kingston puts it all together and his soul begins to slowly break in half like a snickers bar.
I know them all by heart but I still have to watch them; “just one more question” “sorry to bother you ma’am
Lol
i have to tie up loose ends ...........
@Daniel Johnston tying up loose ends, something bothering him
Notice how anyone that says they’re “sorry to bother you“ isn’t sorry to bother you at all...they’re not one teeny tiny bit sorry.
@@foundgrace82 I was in the neighborhood!
Definitely one of the best wrap-ups in the entire Columbo oeuvre. The changes that Dale Kingston (Ross Martin) goes through as the finale unfolds are extraordinary and the revelation when Columbo removes his hands from his pockets never ceases to delight.
I watched all these Sunday Night Mystery movies at grandma's every Sunday when new, when I was ages 11 - 18, the 1970s. So when I see any of these, I am reminded of grandma and being at her Kansas farmhouse. Great times!
When Columbo pulled his hands out of his pockets to reveal he was wearing gloves.. The murderers face, Oh my goodness. This murderer thought he was smart too trying to frame this lovely lady. Brilliant ending, brilliant episode, everything is just brilliant & I never miss an episode every week even though I've seen them all, there's always something new to see in each episode. AMAZING. 💚💚💚 LOVE LOVE LOVE COLUMBO ❤️❤️❤️
Best “Gotcha!” ... wiped the smirk right off his smug little face! 👊🏽
Looks like Columbo DID realize the full import of what he was saying!
It's aired here in England every single Sunday for over 5 years. I don't know why but it's the best detective show ever 😉
I live in England, and I got hooked on Columbo as well.
I love the glaring look the Captain is giving Kingston.
Not shocking. Every cop can see Edna is harmless and could not hurt a fly let along murder her ex.
I just bought the entire series today and I am in Heaven! I love this man!
When Columbo pulled out those gloves, I hollered 😂😂😂😂😂. I've never seen a man so devastated 😆😆😣😣💀💀💀💀 #IBetYouWontMurderAgain
Crestfallen!!
I hope you understand the full import of what you're saying. There are witnesses here.
😆 😆 😆 He had the trembling lip and everything.
That look of horror on his face is great. He KNEW it was over for him.
O J must have watched this episode .!
Did you see the look on Columbo's face when he pulls his hands out his pockets and show's he's wearing gloves?! One of my all-time fave Columbo moments. No words necessary, his eyes say it all: "Come on man, you know it, I know it, we all know it, you're guilty of murder. When you're in a hole, stopping digging, so come on, have some dignity, don't demean yourself anymore than you already have done." All that from a 5 second shot of Peter Falk's body language and non-verbal communication. Absolutely brilliant, subtle acting.
This is one of the best endings I have ever seen 😍. He really gets nailed at the end when Columbo shows him his gloves. Bingo!
The "got ya!" moment in this episode is one of my favorites. No wonder I'm into true crime/ forensics shows...it all started with reruns of Columbo!
"you you you you touched those paintings just now when I wasnt looking" LOL
No,COLUMBO had gloves on!!GOTCHA!!
Lol
You you you you put those gloves just now while I wasn't looking!
This is entrapment
@@PhenomProductions23 thats mega funny but mega funny,,,iam on the floor dieing laughing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,You you you you put those gloves just now while I wasn't looking! sooooooooooooo soooooooo funny,,,,,,,,
"I'd like an answer if you don't mind." I love how Martin delivers that line, the perfect blend of arrogance and exasperation. And the smirk.
"Yyyy-yyou touched them?" is perfect too.
You see how our lives can change in ten minutes. At the beginning of the segment, he was in the catbird seat. Now he's the bird in the cat's mouth.
This one never gets old. I've enjoyed this clip over and over and over again!
And yet I'm still dumbstruck by the ending. Its ......everything
I'm absolutely obsessed with this scene. Can't stop re-watching! ^_^
"Zira, you've got to stop worrying about every little thing."
"But Cornelius...!"
Oh wait. Wrong movie. But I can still hear it in her voice.
planet of the apes?
Her voice and features definitely had that "'Apes" look in this episode.
The look on the Captain's face at 6:00 when Columbo says "Pastels" is my favorite part
I must have watched all these episodes at least 10 times and I still love’m just the same. Peter Falk was perfect in this role. The best detective ever.🙏👍👍
8:44 "You you you you put those gloves just now while I wasn't looking!"
lol
Literally one of my favorite cases in the show. The way the criminal breaks down in this one will never cease to amuse me.
Straight up the greatest finale, and possibly the greatest TV moment, ever. Setup and execution, utter perfection
My favorite Columbo scene, I've watched it dozens of times
Watched this episode when it first aired, almost 50 years ago. The climactic reveal is just as exhilarating now as it was then!
He walks around with his hands in his pockets the whole time and we don't even realise till the end.
This is by far my favorite ending. Not episode-ending. The lip quiver is the best thing ever. Then the gloves at the end. Absolutely brilliant.
Columbo said to Dale Kingston, "We not looking for your prints!" priceless! busted! boom!❤😎
Diane Crowder 3
He said "we are looking for your fingerprints" get it right....
No Columbo said 'I'm not looking for your fingerprints, I'm looking for MINE'.
That moment when columbo drops the mic
that's right YOUR fingerprints....heh,heh
Is this the best "gotcha" in the entire Colombo catalog. This is so clever.
Probably one of my favourite (if not my favourite) GOTCHA in the series. The expressions on the killers face from when Columbo tells him he touched the paintings are priceless. I'm still watching the repeats on TV every Sunday in the UK.
My favorite episode. It's so well done on every level, and Ross Martin's reaction at the end is worth the price of admission alone. Let's see today's shows hold up as well after 50+ years.
"If I leave now, it looks bad upstairs."
slick writing. columbo knows all.
The villian's face when he heard that Columbo was in charge of the investigation. 😯
I love a show that is a step ahead of me. First time i watched this i was thinking "well, he could have planted the fingerprints there and then no?" and then the gloves come out.......no more words uttered and the show ends. Brilliance.
"what do you mean it's his case?" You can see the confidence plummeting.
I always remembered that look on Columbo's face at the very end. When he holds up his hands with the gloves on. Awesome.
Awesome acting. It looks very real. The emotion involved looks very genuine.
One of the absolute best moments of all Columbo episodes
That ending. So good!
IMO, this is the best episode of Columbo and it made me fall in love with the series. 🐾
