Re: Best Location Scenes

Yes, always loved the fact that "By Dawn's Early Light" was filmed at The Citadel. The London scenes were terrific, too.

Perhaps my favorite location was onboard the Sun Princess in "Troubled Waters".

Re: Best Location Scenes

Skid Row in "A Friend in Deed."

Unlike a lot of other scenes, no question that was in Columbo's jurisdiction!

Re: Best Location Scenes

OK speaking of Skid Row, I'll now steer this conversation right into the gutter!

I very much enjoyed the "scenery" by the pool in both Swan Song and Columbo Cries Wolf.

But there was no better scenery than Gretchen Corbett in Exercise in Fatality

Re: Best Location Scenes

You only see it briefly, but there's that informal pool party in "Dead Weight."
Maybe Helen and her mother live in that apartment complex, but that party makes it look like a stereotyped early '70s "swinging singles" place (and I mean that in a nice way).

Re: Best Location Scenes

Ken Franklin's cabin near San Diego. Would like to spend a weekend in that area unless it's probably out of my price range. I know someone mentioned in a post where this property is located.

Re: Best Location Scenes

Just had a thought. Can someone share any locations , buildings, etc. addresses so we can search on Google Earth.

Re: Best Location Scenes

IMDB lists filming locations for each episode. That's a good start, plus Columbophile, for someone with time to compile the list of (69 times x) locations.

I found this map of Columbo locations from a different Columbo website.

Re: Best Location Scenes

Bonjour, J'ai repéré environ 700 lieux de tournage de la série Columbo. Vous pouvez me contacter si vous cherchez des lieux particuliers. Pour ma part il y a encore quelques lieux que je n'ai pas encore trouvés tels que la villa de "Play back", la villa de "Meurtre au champagne", la villa de "Grand déception", le chateau de "Columbo cries wolf", la villa de "Candidat au crime", la demeure de sunset Blvd dans "En grandes pompes". Cordialement

Re: Best Location Scenes

J'ai repéré plusieurs centaines de lieu de tournage. Je suis prêt à les partager.

Re: Best Location Scenes

Also, ghera on this site has listed a lot of them.

Here's a sampling.

Re: Best Location Scenes

When it comes to places you DON'T get to see, I've always wanted to see the inside of Rodger Stanford's cottage in "Short Fuse." Considering the way he dresses, it would probably be pretty far out there.
