Re: Columbo's first on-screen appearence in each film
Yesterday I saw Double Exposure with Robert Culp where Columbo's first appearence was approx. 11.30 minutes followed by Try and catch Me (the locked in the safe episode) when his first appearence was 17.44 minutes
Re: Re: Columbo's first on-screen appearence in each film
Last Monday channel 5 put another Columbo film - on at last! It was 'Columbo Goes To The Guillotine' where his first appearance was at 24 minutes 31 seconds.
Re: Columbo's first on-screen appearence in each film
Last Monday I watched 'Murder - A Self Portrait' and Columbo's first appearence was 1 minute 29 seconds, unusually early and unusually he was only on briefly then was not seen again until the usual 20+ minutes.
Re: Columbo's first on-screen appearence in each film
Yesterday I watched 'Rest In Piece, Mrs Columbo' where Columbo's first appearence is 0 minutes, 0 seconds - that is, he is in the very first shot of the film, although it is from a distance and as the camera slowly zooms in he is recognisable at about 21 seconds.
Re: Columbo's first on-screen appearence in each film
I watched A CASE OF IMMUNITY (Elizondo) yesterday and Columbo's first appearence was at 6 minutes 32 seconds (not counting the trailer which was about 28 seconds)
Re: Columbo's first on-screen appearence in each film
quoting gregg...
"I think Prescription Murder is possibly the episode where Columbo appears latest. On my DVD I noted it as over half an hour Before our hero first appears."
i'm just bumping this up because of culpable's 'delayed detective' thread.
