Years ago I didn't like this episode, maybe because I am not a fan of military things but now it promoted/upgraded to be one of the best
I enjoy to watch it now
- the beggining is different than every other episode. It has a dark and sinister atmosphere. But the question is - how Rumford knew at this stage that he will want to kill Haynes? it was before their argument
- and having said that, it is lucky coincidence because he said "I'd prefer captain Loomis presided". Could be risky for captain Loomis
- the first word spoken in this episode it at 6:56, I think that keeps the record of the longest time without any word being spoken
- always "funny" for me the pronunciation of the word "colonel". It sounds for me as "coronel"
- just when the murder takes place we can see Rumford standing alone next to some nearby building. Shouldn't such an important person take some special place in this ceremony?
- I love first meeting of Rumford and Columbo. "Officer, you may wish to detain this man, he refuses to leave the area" <-- good stuff :D
- on the day of murder, Springer was assigned to clean the gun. Is that coincidence? or Rumford planned all of that long time ago?
- do you maybe know what was that method of ingestion for cadets? I don't understand that
- we can take a closer look on Lieutenant's notebook here, and there is some drawing of human's head. U think Columbo drawed it himself? :)
- Columbo at girl's school: "I'm looking for a girl" <-- precious :)
