Re: Re: Columbo and The Women Murderers

Watching "Forgotten Lady" again today gave me another reminder of why I find Janet Leigh's Grace Wheeler the most sympathetic of Columbo killers, and why it's a relief that she's spared the trauma of actually being arrested ultimately. Whereas Nora Chandler was ultimately ruthless enough to go beyond a potentially understandable first killing to a coldblooded second killing, in the case of Grace Wheeler, you can't help but feel that an illness she wasn't told about may well have led her to do something she ordinarily never would have done.
