Then Columbo would not have gotten the criminal!

You know, I just can't help it when I watch this episode... I love Dick VanDyke so much (thanks to his Rob Petrie character from his self-titled show) that I always want him to get away with the murder of his vicious, horrible wife. Every time I watch the ending scene, I just can't help but wish that for once - just once! - he wouldn't go for that camera partially hidden in the back row on that shelf full of cameras. Alas, no matter how much I yell at the TV, he always hobbles over to that shelf and grabs the right camera and incriminates himself. Oh well.

His is one of those "second murder" instances I mentioned before where any similar thought I might have had evaporates for that reason alone.

The presence of Joanna Cameron (whom every kid that watched Saturday morning TV remembers as Isis) in this episode is also a plus with me.

Anyone notice the amount of murders done by men, to continue their dallainces with newer and younger models?

Dick Van ****
Johnny Cash
Jackie Cooper
John Cassavettes...(ok so he did it in reverse)

You bring up a good point, but I would suggest that since Galesko was a professinal photographer, and familiar with cameras, his initial instinct would be to show how the reverse picture was wrong, using the camera.
