Hymie the Robot

Hi everybody, I've just heard about one film I've never seen, "Les diaboliques" (1955), by French director Henri-Georges Clouzot. It seems that in this film there is a private detective who is very much like Columbo, so much that it's been suggested that he must h...

More on "Murder Under Glass"

I agree with the others who say this episode leaves something to be desired. Also, Peter Falk's acting is not up to par. He is more arrogant and aggressive like "Last Salute to the Commodore" and "Make me a Perfect Murder".
