Re: Columbo Director Robert Butler (1927-2023) dies aged 95

More sad news to report. Robert Butler, the director of two Columbo episodes namely Double Shock and Publish or Perish, died on 3 November 2023 aged 95. I'm sure we all remember his stellar work with the twins appearing on screen in Double shock and his three-way split screen technique in Publish or Perish.

Here's an interview from YouTube with Robert Butler:

Two great episodes.
