Re: a lifelong fan but i've found an episode of columbo that I've nevr seen!
I actually think that it's a fun one to watch. A terrible ending with the fish but good interplay with the suspect. That is a beautiful actress. I wouldn't have minded seeing more of her.
Nightlife has one of the more ridiculous clues where, hours after a man is violently murdered and his corpse dropped down a flight or two, Columbo smells mouthwash on him. It reminds me of The Most Crucial Game when Columbo notices that the water around the decking is fresh and not chlorinated. The water should have evaporated anyway, but even so how can you smell/taste the difference?
