    I loved this, with the coat. He spent half the episode trying to get rid of the thing before he finally went back to his old trusty raincoat. Peter Falk the actor looked great in that coat, but Columbo the character? Nope. Not him.

      @@sixonthehang the commenter is clearly making the distinction between the real person and the character that that person is playing. In his off screen life Peter Falk does not go around in his Columbo costume. Peter Falk May in fact look very sharp in that new raincoat while it doesn't fit either the style or personality of the character Columbo. It's a very obvious distinction but is apparently beyond your comprehension.

      In the first episode featuring him he started to think that Columbo was absent minded and lackadaisical and that HE was ahead of HIM, and thus he started to despise him a little. But after Columbo proved his mettle and was gracious to him and didn’t gloat, it looked as if he was a bit in awe of him and he often seemed to try too hard in the great man’s presence and made mistakes because of it.

      He combined his common sense with detailed analysis. It's fine to dig into something and test your intuition, but don't ever let the abstract lead you into believing something you can clearly see is nonsense. If something seems nonsensical, investigate it until you uncover the missing piece that makes it sensible or until you find out that it is indeed nonsense.

    I am a child of the 70s. I will always love the memories of growing up during that decade. But under no circumstances would I want to say that I am proud of an era where a hairstyle like Wilson's was considered acceptable in public.

    He already knows who did it, he just has to prove it - or elicit a confession. We already knew it was Santini. When they found out the lock had been picked, it was obvious who done it.

    6:14 The victim could have opened the door to the killer, recognized him & let him in, walking back into the office & then turned around 10 step in to address him as to what his visit was about. That would explain the position of the body.

    I was never a fan of Falk in films, but as Columbo in the 1970s series, he was excellent. You know when someone fits the role perfectly, because you couldn't imagine anyone else doing it. No actor one in their right mind would attempt a new Columbo series. Falk is greatly missed.

    The story goes that Columbo's stained raincoat, beat up shoes, and horrendous suit, came from Falks own wardrobe. The coat was Spanish made and of decent quality. In 1966 Falk was walking down 57th Street in NYC when it becan to rain. Falk states, "I entered a shop and bought a raincoat. When I had to find one for Columbo, I simply took this one." Columbo's car was a run down model Peugeot 403 convertible. Falk played a somewhat untidy polite cigar smoking detective who his aloof suspects always underestimated. Sheer genius in script and cast.

    Peter Falk could apparently be difficult with the studio. However, the end result is a TV show that has been enjoyed almost continually for 50 years and has been shown all over the world. It is wonderfully re-watchable, and I guess quite a large part of that is Falk. His performance is very detailed and interesting,

    I think this is one of a very few moments when you don't ask yourself whether mrs. Columbo is real. I can imagine how many times she would argue with him becuase of his raincoat he always wears. Although, maybe this coat is from his mother or a friend...

    This was a classic episode of a classic series. Once Jerome informed Santini he knew and had documentary proof he was a former Nazi prison guard, and used it to blackmail him so he wouldn't have to pay him the extra money he was demanding for his magic shows, he knew his life was in danger, which is why he kept his office locked with a lock he thought was unable to be picked with a lockpick when he was in there counting his money. When Columbo examined the lock on the door and found evidence of tampering and lockpicking he knew his prime suspect was going to be an expert in picking locks.
