It's All In The Game

I have a mixed feelings about this episode. It is solid, good one, but somehow I always have some problem with it. It's not among my best ones
- in the beginning in one scene the movie is played backwards, you can clearly see that with the fountain, water is splashing backwards
- you can see this Franco guy in the house party before he arrives there :P
- Lauren told her daughter "here's the money for the soup cans". What soup cans?
- nice conversation when he asks Lauren "how she knew that Nick wasn't home" and then she provides him with answer and he says "aaahh, ok, that would explain it, but... no, the problem with this solution is.." and then he does it 4 times after her every explanation, I like this scene :)
- do you think Columbo was playing his game from the beginning to the end? or he fell in Lauren's flirting trap a little? the scene in front of the mirror shows that it was all not easy for him
