Re: Re: What is YOUR particular vision of Mrs. Columbo?
You are right on the money-Suzanne Pleshette would fit the bill. BTW-even though I think she is a fine actress, I can't stand her as Emily Hartley "O Bob-you're so wonderful!". Bob needed a wife who was more neurotic (like his patients) and critical of him without going overboard.
Re: What is YOUR particular vision of Mrs. Columbo?
I can definitely see Suzanne Pleshette as his wife. It's really quite a good choice. She could be soft and demure but she could also be forceful and demanding and she could also be quite loving to her husband. I could see her getting a big kick out of him.
Re: Re: What is YOUR particular vision of Mrs. Columbo?
Emily!
What is it now Bob?
You're not going to believe this?
What?
Everybody's having a dream that you're not my wife anymore!
What?
Well, there was this TV detective, and he really was a bumbler, and his wife could solve the mysteries on TV better than he could, and now everyone thinks that you are his wife.
That's it Bob! No more chili for supper for you.
By the way Bob, I saw this great sweater at Bloomingdales today.....
Re: Re: What is YOUR particular vision of Mrs. Columbo?
I Mrs Columbo should remain in our imaginations and not be named.
She would perhaps be like Mrs Benedict(Blyth Danner) or perhaps Mrs Goodland wife of Bradford Dillman,or is that to posh ?
I'm curious as to who cassavetes45 is surely is this person related to the late John Cassavetes.Fan.
Re: What is YOUR particular vision of Mrs. Columbo?
Nick you are very sweet...and I take what you said as a wonderful compliment.
But no, I'm not related to John Cassavetes...I'm just a loving fan of him and his work.
