I love how the extras at the police station just walk to a point, turn around, and walk back
I just rewatched it. You’re right. That’s hilarious. Good eye👍
They all have columboitis
Flannel shirt man makes several appearances
I think there was some sort of error with the people walking to the column and turning around. Somehow they believed they had gone out of the scene.
Now I'll be watching the extras in other episodes lol. Funny. I never noticed that before - but I bet most don't.
That was a rare occasion when we see the exact moment Columbo realises something. Most of the time, it is never known what he figured or didn't figure out until he reveals that to the culprit.
That’s cos most of the time his wife figures it out for him 😅
He usually knows who did it the first time he meets them. Then he hound dogs 'em into a confession.
@@briankleinschmidt3664
Ain't nothing but a hound dog rocking All the time. Hahaha!
Y'know, maybe *that's* also why people underestimate him. This kind of thing happens more often than we see.
Yes, but this is season ten. For some reason the writers felt they needed to show these moments. In the old days, it would have been something Columbo noticed and then repeated back to them at the point of the 'gotcha' moment.
Probably one of my absolute favorite lines: “I’m gonna be Frank with you.” Because, you know, he’s Frank to everyone ;)
I think it's not verified. The video circling around where the name "Frank Columbo" is visible on his ID is a hoax. Of course, it doesn't matter, he could be called Frank.
That's frank with a small F.
It's not a name, it's an adjective and it means "marked by free, forthright, and sincere expression".
Ok...if there's one thing I know about Freddie Mercury...he knew how to play with words.
@@fredmercury1314 He means Columbo's first name is Frank lol You can see it on his ID sometimes.
"The guy's a little wacky...".
Yeah, wacky like a fox.
Great episode.
I remember when this episode first aired in the UK, it was billed as a brand new episode that had never been shown in the UK before. But the more I watched, the more familiar it seemed. My parents kept saying "it can't be familiar - it hasn't been shown here before" - until I predicted that the guy was going to open the front car door. Then they were as confused as I was!
It was only some time later that I realised I'd seen it whilst on holiday on the USA several years earlier!
These two .. him and that episode ... know each other... they know each other well! .... Holy jamole!
Did or are you going to make sure to wait until years later to tell them.
@@dawnv3436 hahaha! well done
Hey, I've seen this one! It's a classic!
@@VermillionMonk lol The very thing I thought of xD
Columbo is one of the reasons I bought a trench coat and wore it for many years as a NY state investigator.
Was your hair is little scruffy too?
Tell you brought an old Peugeot. Just one more thing sir ….👆 did you stay smoking cigars ?
I’d have done exactly the same thing. :)
You are cool sir
One of the best late era episodes from Columbo, I absolutely loved it. I loved how HAMMMEEEEEEER (David Rasche) played his part and the mischievous duo Columbo is against this time.
I agree. This and Columbo goes to college were my favorites of the later episodes
I'll always trust David Rasche, because of course he knows what he's doing.
love that young lady mad-dogging the guy across from her in the bistro and when Columbo passes her again, she's all animated.....
I saw that! I had to go back and watch it again lol!
Apart from the scene with Donald Pleasance at the the end of "Any Old Port in a Storm", this is my favourite all time scene...just watching that penny drop.
'That's one way to beat the cheque, gotta remember that...'
I also like when he tortures Alex :)
This was a great episode. I've seen almost every Columbo episode. No blood, guts and beheadings shown, don't need them like these other crime shows display. Just him figuring out the murderer is satisfying. It's like my morning cup of coffee. Peter Falk's real life wife appears in quite a few episodes.
She's in at least four episodes iirc... 🙂
4 telefilms of the revival/ABC iteration; 2 telefilms of the original/NBC iteration ~ 📺☺
There was a beheading in the Season Eight episode: Columbo goes to the Guillotine. (1989)
@@abbynormal4740 SIX in total 📺
What a great scene, as they always are on Columbo !!! It's so unfortunate that there are no more shows like this with very talented actors. Peter Falk was one of the best !!!!
Extraordinary. One of a kind. Peter Falk is incomparable.
And the script
I loved this episode & loved the lieutenant realisation when the penny drops that these 2 knew each other...excellent 😀
In the next scene, the lab guy abruptly stops talking, walks into the bathroom, leans on the towel dispenser, starts gesturing his hands and thinks, "dude, I think Columbo is married in real life to that woman!"
Excellent episode!!! The Lieutenant brilliantly notices even the smallest details!!! 👍🙂👍
Did he notice that Mrs Calvert is his real life wife? Yup, it's true.
@@wymple09 no wonder Columbia knew! 🤣
2:31 The lady in blue with the quiet serious face, and then she's happy and talking like a minute later LOL!!!!!!!!
Don't mess with Columbo, he's going to get you.
Columbo takes straight to the camera.
"Everybody get that?"
Funny the guy telling Pete’s wife that Pete’s a little wacky lol.
I believe that's Peter Falk's real wife. Now that's something I don't think Patrick noticed!
😂funny thanks!Yes she was the real Mrs Columbo 🎉❤
And the other guy played Mike Hammer on a series long long time ago. I think it was a comedy/spoof. Because there was also a series called Mickey Spillanes Mike Hammer, played by Stacey Keach, that was not a comedy.
Sledge Hammer went from Inspector to forensics in just 10 years.
I knew he looked familiar! Thank you!!
I was sure this will be about the guy automatically pushing the specific type of coffee that she ordered towards her without him being present while she ordered it. This is the advantage of having bad memory - one can enjoy the same good movies, books and jokes, every couple of years again, and again be suprised :)
I think they ordered three generic coffees. I didn't see this episode, but the only thing that might have triggered the realization at that moment was him pushing the non-sugar sweetener towards her... but even there, it might have just been that he was making room closer to him for the sugar that he then proceeded to use. Frankly this scene alone doesn't make clear what brought about the realization. The front seat thing was after the realization.
The other thing, when Patrick passes the coffee over, his fingers hold the cup exactly where her lips will go. Grosses me out when I see that.
I think when the guy pushes the coffee, that's when Columbo begins to think there's something going on. When the guy opens the front car door for her, that confirms it.
I’m assuming he figured it out when the guy moved the blue sweetener over towards her coffee, implying he knew she used that instead of sugar. In the bathroom Colombo even gestures the switch a roo when he switched the sweeteners. The car scene was just validation of his hunch.
There is also the order in which he distributed the coffee I feel set up the sweetener/sugar swap.
@@davidfoster7034
I think that was a perfectly normal _distribution_ of the coffee? Serve the lady first, followed respectfully by serving Columbo... who is of course older, and then finally himself. Right?
Then there's the cut seen when Columbo walks past a window and see's the man balls deep going at it like a rabbit in heat!
Columbo should know, that’s his wife irl
@@StoneysWorkshop
Yes, that's posted on nearly every columbo video.
"Holy Gjomollies..." is now my new thing I say when I learn something new!
I loved the unusual format of the show. Grew up with it and still makes me feel at home even now. Thanks for this 👍🇬🇧
These subtleties are so great, especially if you pick them up just right before Columbo does. Love it!
this is why i enjoy mistery and stuff... when the whole package blows like a bolt in the detective's head
When at a restaurant I get a similar realization, when the spicy meatballs kick in.
It’s Mrs. Columbo!!!! 😁😁😁😁
Mrs. Falk❤
That woman is peter falks actual wife. She's in loads of episodes
Yup! The lovely Shera Danese!
yeah, and she's a mediocre actress.
@@anotherjoshua I have to agree. 👍
@@anotherjoshua Hey, never said she was the lovely and talented Shera Danese! LOL (Seriously, I agree!)
"These two know each other. They know each other well!"
such a subtle thing that 99% of people would never notice in a million years
Columbo saw more with only one good eye than the rest of the police department did with all of their two eyes.
Love this episode and part when he realises that "These 2 know each other"
This episode is particularly good 💟
Being helpful got him more questions from Columbo.
Listen, I talk to myself all the time: I work retail. I don't find Columbo talking to himself Meta or bad writing...
Almost all people talk to themselves
@@ChipDouglas10 How else am I supposed to have an intelligent conversation?
Notice Columbo's pants after he returns from the bathroom... Holy Jamoles!
I've not watched a Columbo episode for more than 20 years. I've got to fix this.
“Mrs Calvert” is actually Mrs. Peter Falk irl
I must have seen this clip 3 times before noticing the significance of him switching the bowls there - anticipating that she would put sweetener in the coffee.
Now there's a saint i haven't heard off...' Holy Jamolle'
My favorite twist. Really easy to overlook small detail like that.
Took a rewatch to understand it myself: Patrick knows Mrs. Calvert well enough to know she gets carsick in the back! Nothing gets by the Lieutenant!
There are NINE "Did you just see what he did?" Moments.
Anyone guessing all NINE will win a cookie. Please, no negative waves.
When Columbo asked Kingsley to come with him to interview her, Kingsley asked why. Columbo answered “Three eyes are better than one”.
I think the only time he brings up he has 1 eye in the show.
oh, I thought he had just a lazy eye
@@РомаПетров-ж1н no, he lost an eye when he was young, teenager I think, in an accident.
3:01 should have been "the guy's a little whacky..... trust me i know what i'm doing"
Watch the same extras in the last scene walking back and forth in the parking garage. At the end of the scene you see them pivot and return.
Frank notices something, which gives him an idea.
He tests the idea, and if the idea is sound, he follows wherever it leads.
A General once said "Never interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake."
Columbo almost gave up the game when he reacted in front of these two!
They were so busy 'not crime-ing', they forgot they weren't supposed to be strangers to each other.
It's apparent also by how much he dotes on her...she's the 'master-mind'!
they WERE supposed to be strangers to each other. the fact that he knew her so well shows that they WEREN'T actually strangers to each other
My favourite mastermind moment is how she doesn't react to Colombo saying her husband might be innocent.
"Aren't you happy?"
"...Oh yeah, totally!"
The lady is his real life wife !!!
Patrick made all the mistakes! LOL!
This is a good example of where the reboot fails in comparison to the original series. Columbo's wild overreaction to his discovery -- abruptly halting the conversation and getting up from the table, then pantomiming his thought process in the bathroom (strictly for the viewer) -- is completely out of character. He tips the suspect to the idea that he might know something, although they're too stupid too figure out what it is ... which is more bad writing. Classic Columbo would never do that. He would have reacted not at all, and only brought it up later when more pieces of the puzzle had fallen into place.
This^ is just bad.
I agree. In the original series, Columbo would have dealt with his realisation in a subtle way and they wouldn't have dumbed down to the viewers like they did far too often in the reboot episodes. The original series trusted the intelligence of the viewers and didn't signpost everything.
Agreed. “These two know each other!” I think this would have never been uttered until the end when all is revealed.
Agreed. Why was he even surprised about the car doors? He already sniffed out they both knew each other so there's no reason he would be visibly flabbergasted a second time.
Other than because of a director/screenwriter who had two ideas for a culprit revealing they knew a supposed stranger, but couldn't choose only one
Just order water! ☕️ is a police trap!
I'm sure this has already been pointed out in the comments but that actress (Shera Danese) was Peter Faulk's wife! She's in a few more episodes, too!
Traces of murder. My favorite episode. He actually references the fact he has one eye . When he says 3 eyes are better than 2 .
بعد التحية ..ارجوا أن تعرض الحلقات كاملة حتى يمكن أن نشاهدها ونستمتع بها ارجوا ذلك ...عرض الحلقة كاملة ...وشكرا ..
Peter falk one of the all time greats, i loved watching columbo as a child.
Peter Falk his wife and Sledgehammer ! This episode is pure gold !
It has me thinking to when he prepared her coffee without asking how she took it, then holding the door open for her to sit up front purposely to not sit next to each other in the back that might indicate a couple's mannerism.
He knew she needed to sit in the front because she gets carsick.
But it seems like a stretch for Columbo to conclude that she gets carsick in the back.
0:46 - "I'm gonna be Frank with you..."
Quite literally, you already are. 😆
These 2 know each other. Sure do.
If you don't see it, that's because it's not there. The director is cheating.
I didn't see it, so I thought maybe this clip was edited, or started too late, or something. So I went back to the original show on Peacock. And everything became clear.
In this scene, before the coffee arrives, the cream and sugar are near the center of the table, and the Nutrisweet is very close to Hammer --- so close that he needs to move it to have room for his coffee cup. So he moves the Nutrisweet to the center of the table, and moves the sugar closer to him. He never touches the cream. It's exactly how you would expect somebody who wants to put sugar in his coffee would act. But Columbo, the guy who has never tipped his hand in 20 years, practically has a stroke, and has to leave the room. His behavior is so strange that both the killers talk about it.
But later, when Columbo is explaining what tipped him off, they show a flashback. This time, Hammer first moves the cream over to the side, and then he slides the Nutrisweet practically into the woman's lap. THAT makes it seem likely that he knows she uses Nutrisweet. But it was not in the original scene, it was only in the flashback.
They cheated.
Given that this is an Old Columbo episode, the flashback was probably exaggerated as it was showing the lieutenant's mind.
No, I think you missed the real clue. You can see in this scene around 2:15 he never takes any sugar at all. He only added cream then immediately takes a drink. This means all the moving of sweeteners around the table was not for him but for her without asking.
+
That's in the clip, look at it again.
I'd made a comment about this clip not clearly showing what triggered the realization at the diner. I mentioned the sweetener but noted that it wasn't so obvious to clearly be a 'he knows her' kind of thing. Hearing your explanation where it WAS more obvious in the flashback makes it clear. Even though VCR's were semi-common back then, not many would check the flashback against the original scene to note the difference at the time. Like you say... the director cheated. When you see the flashback, if anything, you have vague memories of the sweetener move and assume the flashback is an accurate repeat of what you saw before.
Never talk to the cops with out your attorney
Mostly he's great detective work it's from his intelligence, observations and thinking, but sometimes he needs also luck like in this case or case on ship.
I like the series from the 70's a lot better.
This is Peter Falk’s wife in real life.
I'm sure Conan Doyle , the author or Sherlock Holmes would have been a Colombo fan!
Peter Falk looks like one of my uncles. I used to call him Columbo and he'd do the "There's just one more thing..." thing.
What fascinates me about this scene is Columbo is so bemused to find he overlooked something right under his nose for so long. A sense of pride in his detective skills mixed with realizing he might have been completely fooled this time.
at first I thought he got a case of the poops and he was going to poop in the sink, but then he figured it out
Forge about Columbo having a massive realisation, I'd like to know the intense conversation the couple at 2:33 were having.
Me too! 😂😂😂
Meraviglioso questo episodio dove recita egregiamente ( come sempre) accanto alla moglie.
You don't want Columbo after ya.
BTW, she was Peter Falk's real life wife.
Incredible! I did this ride in 2001 starting from around Mama's Fish House and turned into a 20-25 mph head wind during the last stretch before the observatory/summit. Brutal!
I remember David Rasche from the 90s sitcom Nurses. It was a spinoff to the golden girls spinoff, empty nest.
For me, he will always be the Hammeroid…
He's on Succession currently
6:03 I wonder if in real life flat foots really see investigators have revelations like Columbo just had.
Third pointer to them knowing each other. When Columbo returns from the bathroom and says he’s not really alright Mrs Calvert says “Is there anything we can do?” Which is a coupled reply. The expected reply when answering on behalf of yourself and an individual you supposedly don’t know would be “Is there anything either of us can do?”
2:53 Thats SLEDGE HAMMER! David Rasche as the cop with a happy trigger finger.
Did you notice the 'No Smoking' signs on the restaurant door; but a cigarette machine right inside the front door?😏
By looking at body language one can usually tell if two people are intimate.
The black lady extra, great acting
What episode is this? I now have to watch it!
The actor that played "Barney" played Lt. Duffy in another Columbo episode
Shera Danese [aka Mrs Falk] - Fade In To Murder, Murder Under Glass, Murder A Self Portrait, Murder Of A Rock Star, Undercover, and A Trace of Murder.
"well then, it's nothing....the guy's alittle waCkeY .............................................................
....trust me, I know what I''m doing" 😅
My mum had a crush on Columbo back in the day! Cute middle aged guy with salt n pepper hair ❤❤❤❤ cuddle worthy! 😊😊😊😊
At 5:05, the restaurant has a cigarette vending machine right next to no smoking signs on the front doors.
The driver honks the horn three times but it sounds seven. I posted this comment on this video's older twin, too.
You all know that the woman Columbo is talking to is actor Peter Falk's real life wife.
She is Columbo’s (Peter Falk) wife in REAL LIFE!
I liked it better when the moment was obscure
My favorite episode.
It is funny how he unkowingly exposes the fact he knows her by swapping the sugar and sweetener bowls around, opens the front car door and know exactly where she parked her car and then has the cheek to say she said or did something to make Columbo suspicious.
Love it! I still watch him, that beautiful lady was his real life wife!
I think the closest I've seen real detectives being clued in to something like this is when they first suspected a woman after she didn't eat the fast food she had just purchased while it was still hot. 😂
0:44 but I thought you were Columbo ???
It could have been that the man was just moving the Nutra-Sweet out of the way so that he could get the sugar.
What I love is his wife was in a few episofes.
So great
Massive over acting and over emphasis on Columbo's mannerisms.
Grandissimo Colombo
