After this post yesterday, I watched Max Barsini again last night.

The dream sequence at first showed Columbo being painted under an arch in the street level floor of Vito's Bar. Then we see him on the platform in the room above the bar.

One inconsistancy I noted that as Louise was describing the opening of a door,it was pictured as the door upstairs. But the door being described was leading to the basement, which appeared as the next sequence.

I'm not so sure this was a pure combining of scenes. The dream had a mixed up quality to it - not unlike in real life I suppose.

Now take last night. I had this weird dream. Cassa was in it. She was at a Sherlock Holmes convention and was sneaking out the back door with John Cassavetes.

Just wait 'til I tell my wife about it when she returns from visiting her sick cousin in Toledo.

Bob, now that's a scary dream.

Mr. Haynes, didn't you get blown up? I really don't have a problem with the later COlumbo episodes. With the exception of "No Time To Die."

that could make for a rather odd dream bob, i definitely agree!
..........but the only problem is that it actually happened last night.....i don't know how you knew about it...were you there at the convention with us, and then relived it all in your dream??

oh....by the way...john says hi to you bob!
