Hello!

I realised that "Ransom for a dead man" is the only episode I never reviewed here!
So here are some points:

- Leslie has some special forces in her to concentrate both in conversation and a court case
- Margaret scares me a little :P
- I like the scene between Columbo and this police guy when he says it is a murder case now
- what is always REALLY bother me is that Columbo says the angle of the bullet was 45 degrees. I am an engineer and for me angles are quite of important, and there is no way that bullet entered in 45 degrees :)
- how did Margaret know how to fikd Columbo in the bar? was she following him?
- Comumbo's chilli doesn't look really tasty :P
- in the end scene - where did Margaret take a gun from??
- in the last scene, I am kind of curious whe pla*** the waitress

The gun part always bothers me too.

I always thought it was strange, she's deep in conversation and paying attention to the trial too. I guess the writers thought it would show "what a smart cookie she was".

Also, I always thought, and I mentioned in another post, why it took forever and a day for them to hook up a wire tap on her phone? Yes the technology wasn't that great, but isn't it just attaching 2 wires?

Ransom for a Dead Man" is a gripping u verse tv pricing episode from the classic detective series Columbo. Featuring a cunning female lawyer who stages her husband's kidnapping and murder, the episode showcases Columbo’s signature investigative style—playing the underdog while meticulously unraveling the crime. With sharp dialogue, psychological tension, and an unforgettable performance by Peter Falk

I always thought Margaret was passing by there and happened to meet columbo, without looking for him.

Agree about the strangeness of Margaret being able to find a gun and, like someone said, I also think they showed Leslie could focus on 2 things at once at the trial to make her look like a strong lawyer.
