"I typed that." Thank you for your contribution, Sgt Wilson.
Dynamite drop in Monte, that broadcasting school really paid off
But Jessy Jerome typed something else 😉
Sgt Wilson also holds up his copy of the letter with an excellent flourish.
Never noticed before, but Falk points to his own glass eye when he says, "You can see it." Inside joke, or just good acting? Falk had such wonderful gestures.
There's one show where he invites a man to a location with him, he explains he thought it would be better to have four eyes, than two, well, three.
@@jack002tuber I remember that one too😂 Good sense of humor over the glass eye.
Reminds us of Jose Feliciano singing Sting's. "I ll be watching you"
We watched this episode on Peacock and had to explain to our daughter what a typewriter was. 😂
Same here with my little niece 😊, even if that "technology" last a whole century. But they weren't even born when it phased out.
😂
I bet that was an interesting conversation!!! 😆😆😆😆
Well I’m sure you had plenty of time to go over the complete history of the typewriter, with the god awful endless amount of ads on peacock
Lol
This show never gets old
It's the show that keeps me sane and I put things off just to stay home and watch😂
Except for that little girl who didnt know what a typewriter is.
of course it gets old. we now use smartphones instead of typewriters.
but...
this show, is like good wine. the older it is, the better it becomes.
Jack Cassidy makes the perfect villain. Condescending and arrogant right up to the final downfall.
And his barry tone voice which futher magnifies his stature as a formidable villain!!
You show no to say 😮😮wow
How many times did Jack Cassidy appear on Columbo series? I remember seeing him least 3 different episodes.
@@paulhunter6742 You are correct.... "Murder By the Book" (1971), "Publish or Perish" (1974), and "Now You See Him..." (1976).
He is a real scumbag in The Eiger Sanction and a complete obnoxious buffoon as Ted Baxters' brother on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. He had a great range of acting talent.
All Columbo episodes are good but the early ones are the best, especially when Jack Cassidy or Patrick McGoohan guest star!!! 👍👍🙂
I like the 70's episodes very much .
Or Robert Culp. Another one of my favorite baddies!
@@lisawilliams2013 Jack Cassidy, Robert Culp and Pat Mac Goohan were very good at being bad !!! Top 3
@@mkassis713 --Absolutely. They were clearly superior to the second run in the 90's..
@@robertwheatley9153 Right you are !!!
Falk has passed, Cassidy has passed, even David Cassidy has now passed so many great celebs are no longer with us, its so sad time and tide wait for no man! RIP all of you.🌼🌼🌼
I very much idolized David Cassidy ever since I was young for many reasons. He had a great and very unique singing voice. He could easily have gone strictly into music but he wanted to be just like his dad so his strongest passion was for acting. His passing devastated me.
@@jamestiscareno4387 David Cassidy was a one-of-a-kind, its very hard to put a finger on what that definity actually was with him, some mystical love that he alone possessed...to encapsulate all around him. I'm sorry to hear you're devastated by his passing but wish you strength in knowing that in the afterlife we will all meet again! So you _will_ see David Cassidy again and even possibly meet him and shake his hand! That would be nice wouldn't it?
@@jamestiscareno4387 I remember watching these brilliant columbo episodes years ago with mumy dad when i young, i live in Ireland and the rubbish programmes like love island, soaps, which are repeated weekly is sad towards the brilliant columbo, thanks be to God i became a born again christain and rarely even turn on the tv now.
We are not far behind them
It's interesting to see the difference in his treatment of murderers during the reveal when he is somewhat sympathetic to them and those for which he has complete disdain.
You’re absolutely right. He definitely had distain for Jack Cassidy’s character and A LOT of distain for Leonard Nimoy’s character in a separate episode when he actually lost his cool. Lol
ONe of my favorite episodes. I always wondered how much Jack Cassidy practiced to be able to perform those tricks so convincingly.
We didn't see enough of Jack Cassidy before he died !
@@sbarr10True, but even as it was, Jack was the second most appearing guest star. He had 3 roles as the killer. Patrick McGoohan is the most with 4 roles. And if you don't count Peter Falk's wife Sharee who has 7 roles of different significance to plot.
Yeah I give them credit for not relying solely on quick cuts to achieve the effects.
@@donaldholderdoc2910 Robert Culp was in four. and was the murderer three times.
@@donaldholderdoc2910Robert Culp had also appeared in 4 episodes.
Jack Cassidy looked and performed so well as a magician, I'd believe he did that outside of his acting.
"Perfect murder sir? Oh I'm sorry there's no such thing as a perfect murder - that's just an illusion." Cue the soundtrack, cut to Cassidy's reaction take, oh that's sweet - one of the series sweetest satisfying endings.
The way he looks at Columbo when he says that !!!
I agree Arthur, it is indeed amongst the best endings.
"Cue the soundtrack" which is the theme from the movie Charade
Too simple, as always, the villain wouldnt have given up here. He could afford a good lawyer...
Cassidy’s character wanted to commit another murder when Columbo said that.
4:13
The way that actor composed himself after hearing his characters real name read out loud, like he was standing to attention.
Great detail.
I’m a guy, but took typing class in junior high in, say 1975. Great class to meet girls since I was one of the few guys who would take typing. When I went into the Army in the 80’s knowing how to type was invaluable. This was years before kids learned “keyboarding” for their PCs. Anyway, in my class I’m pretty sure it was “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their Country” we typed over and over. And, “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” as the sentences to cover every letter in the alphabet.
I did the same thing in the late 1970's and if my memory serves me "The quick brown fox" thing covered every letter in the alphabet and the" Now is the time" thing covered exactly one sentence of typing on a typewriter page before pressing the carriage return to start a new line.
Since my only experience with typewriters was using my dad's in the 90's, I have 1 question to both of you. Does the ink roll rolls when pressing the spacebar? I asked because if I remembered correctly, my dad's typewriter (I think its an Olivetti) doesn't roll the ink roll when pressing the spacebar but it seem the ink roll that Columbo used in the video, the spaces are shown in the ink roll, which seem to be a waste of good ink.
@@13gan As I recall from changing the ink rolls back then, the ribbons would have letter indentations consistently along the ribbon, in other words with no spaces or gaps. You’re right, if the machine had let spaces go on the ribbon from the space bar that would have been a terrible waste. One interesting thing- in the typewriters I used one could “rewind” the ribbon spools and there was usually enough ink to use again. In that case, being typed over a second time, it would have been impossible for Colombo to have read any coherent message off the ribbon.
Did you pull any of the girls?
@@skiller189x4 The old cloth ribbons that you could reuse wouldn’t have any visible impression of the typed letters at all. It had to be the disposable carbon ribbons for this plot to work. Columbo wasn’t familiar with them before - and apparently, neither was Santini. It took the younger Sgt. Wilson to explain to Columbo how the newer typewriters worked.
It's hard to watch TV anymore when you have got TH-cam and the wonderful Columbo!
Playing the theme from _Charade_ was a nice touch.
Absolutely! Noticed it right away!
I really liked the Sgt. Wilson character. It's a shame he's in just 2 episodes. I believe Falk and Bob Dishy were childhood friends, and that shows. They worked well together.
Me too. I would have liked to see him more often.
They tried to see if they could give him his own show.
Such a great serie with Monk, two masterpieces.
I recommand both!
Poker Face is a delight too. Heavy Columbo vibes.
@@asecretone I should watch it ^^
*series *recommend
I love Columbo ❤
Such a good series... When TV had fantastic programs... And these early Columbo episodes were among the very best....
Between Columbo and his colleagues, they had more LETTERS than the alphabet! 😅
More letters than a post office
Badum-tish! LOL!
No such thing as a perfect murder, not happening when Colombo's on your tail.
They really should just run if they hear that Columbo is on the case. 🏃🏃🏃
When he and Jessica Fletcher come to town, you just see a bunch of people suddenly have business out of state.
Only if Columbo was put on the OJ Simpson, double head cut off slaughterings,
Great series. There will never be a detective as good as Columbo. I think it’s his dogged persistence and like ability that engages people. 👍👍
And enrages murderers!!
Kevin Pollack does a fantastic impersonation I would love to see him in a series as the new Columbo. Played straight but him doing it as Falk
All these years later....I truly believe the Guest Stars relished their experiences on "Columbo". They ALL seemed to go the extra mile in portraying their character. It might just be me merely being sentimental, but I really do believe that the give and take between Peter Falk and his "Guest Star of The Week" were very much enjoyed by them as much as we Fans enjoyed seeing them entertain us. These are the kinds of memories for many of us that are Tattooed on our Souls! Cheers Everyone and Thank you for letting a knucklehead leave some love to you all in words!
Not all of them Nicol Williamson was very disparaging about it saying not only that he didn't care if was in an episode but that he didn't remember it, he took the role to pay a bill.
@@Lones555 I wholeheartedly doubt this nonsense!
@@Lones555That probably explains his sloppiness. He left a boatload of clues in that episode!) 😊
Colombo has the nerve to throw sand in to the magicians face....that was no illusion
😂🤣😂
Jack Cassidy was great in all his Columbo episodes. He died at 49.
What???! I had no idea Jack Cassidy died THAT young!!! So sad!!! 😢
@@marysharp-koehler8605 he died in a fire. Fell asleep with a cigarette going. Sad
Minor nit, usually the film ribbons didn't advance on the spacebar, to conserve ribbon. Though I'm sure they did it here for a readable prop.
Columbo rubbing it in his face big time. He did not care for Santini, you could tell by the look on his face when he called the officer to take him away
Absolutely brilliant this...the acting was terrific & the Lieutenant brilliant 🎉
He is adorable. Columbo.
Gotta compliment Jack Cassidy on how sharply he was dressed during the reveal...so very sharp!
I agree.. That is one sharp looking suit..and it's a 3-pjece.. They don't make them like that anymore
My all time favorite episode of my all time favorite police show
I remember when I upgraded from the old style ink ribbon typewriter to a carbon film typewriter. That was really an upgrade with those nice sharp characters being printed out. Now, that is so far in the past that many younger people today don't even know what a typewriter was!
I like how some actors get to come back as different characters from time to time, just because they are good at playing villains!
This episode is my favourite episode of Columbo and one of the best "gotcha" moments in the show!!!
I believe the theme music for this episodes uses the music from the film 'Charade', which Henri Mancini scored as well.
Yup. That's the "Charade" theme being played at the end of this scene. I loved Mancini's music.
Sgt. Wilson is still alive, 89 y/o
The scruffiest Detective ever but, with a mind as sharp as a steel trap. Real Class!
I always thought the clothes and the deshevelness of his was a dodge to make them lower their gaurd around him. He comes off as a bumbler while the killer drops lots of clues figuring he won't notice them. He says "one more thing" so many times, and fumbling for a pencil, losing track of things, etc.
I always liked Colombo show he's a good detective😅😅❤❤🎉🎉🎉
As a 7-8 year old kid this is the only episode of Columbo I actually watched because there was a magician in the storyline. As a child I liked stories with magicians in them.😊
You must love Fool Us then
Ohh.... How I miss Watching Full episodes on you tube.... Of the Brilliant Columbo ...aka Peter Falk. Absolute Brilliant!!💔❤✡☄🌠⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🇺🇸🕯📽📰🏆🎖⚘ 🇬🇧
04:44 - The theme (by Henry Mancini) from Charade (1963). Apparently used as background music throughout the episode.
3:00 i think Columbo made Wilson angry there.
Wilson seems rly passionate about typewriters for some reason :D cuz that correction felt fully with spite there x,D
David Cassidy got his father's eyes. Playing 'Charades' at the end was a nice touch.
still a beautiful ending, because nowadays theres no technology thats like this, where there's tangible evidence, as its probably digital, but man when this first released that must've been insane!
Wellll. People get swayed into using Cloud backup services. Imagine every iteration of a letter, all convicting err connecting documents, getting saved to online servers.
'Have you heard about the Cloud?'
The Fifth Columbo
@@NurmYokai Or just put your files on a backup HDD & use 256-bit encryption + password
My Favorite Episode !!!
"When we played our charade ..." Hat tip to a fabulous movie!
Jack Cassidy was so posh 🍸
How good was this show.......I don't tire of watching the episodes again and again......
Just started watching these recently. Love the way the villains just give up in the end. Not one interrogation room scene. Never a lawyer present and not a mention of the 5th Ammendment. Still very entertaining.
4:34 Columbo's like "Here, how about a little salt on that wound for you?"
@4:48 *’How dare you touch me’* Always makes me laugh lol
No perfect murder. Just very convincing alibis. Which might never be discovered to be false if the criminal is smart enough and the investigators are either not smart enough to think of it, or too lazy/corrupt to break.
The more serious the crime is considered the greater the resources that can be thrown at it.
My grandmother rest her soul and I loved watching this show together 🥰😢
The light music playing at the end of the clip is the theme to the movie "Charade" - an appropriate number!
Best detective series ever
Columbo is alive and well on youtube
Man, Jack Cassidy was such a good actor. Shame he died so early and tragically.
I loved Jack Cassidy
I love Anthony Andrews. He, perhaps is the only villain who overshadowed columbo by his superb expressions.
Great scene from an episode of "Columbo", but the absurdity of Santini burning the copy of the letter is that even if Santini was not bright enough to realize that Columbo would have made numerous copies of the original letter before confronting Santini about his guilt, Santini's burning the copy of the letter achieved nothing because he burned the letter in front of numerous police officer witnesses who could testify in court to his act of burning the letter!
And that's leaving aside the technical detail that when magicians make a piece of paper disappear in a flash of flame, they use special paper. Or maybe Columbo carelessly typed it up on such paper...? 😉
@@grimmriffer Good point!
I use that letter trick when Im about to pay the check and have a coupon
The way he said "That's just an illusion" is such s slap in the face to him lol
Love how were always seeing him touch his mustache as he enters a scene
Cassidy died in a fire, and he was identified by the pinky ring
Loved this episode! Loved all of them❤
Amazing how one little glitch in modern technology can have such profound impacts on daily activities.
He was born for the part, no one could have played it better. My top 10. #1 Troubled Waters, #2 A Friend Indeed, #3 The Commodore, #4 Now You See Him, #5 The Conspirators, #6 Elude in Black, #7 Dawn's Early Light, #8 Dead Weight, #9 Mistaken Identity and # 10 An Exercise in Fatality.
Swan song was pretty good too. Etude in black is difficult to watch because the murderer was badly cast. Looks like a criminal or mafia boss than a concert pianist
@@francoisona yea I got Swan Song # 11 on my list. John Cassavettes was in westers mostly. His interaction with Columbo during the movie was good enough for me to put it in my top 10
@@BSC8987 this far and no farther would be The Conspirators
Actually, the one mistake he made was saying
"And I thought I commited the perfect murder"
Essentially, a confession.
I remember those ribbons. Made famous by IBM. I will have to look and see if the local library has any COLUMBO shows?
Columbo proved opportunity and motive, enough to get a grand jury interested, not enough for a conviction, until the murderer confessed in front of Columbo and like five other officers.
I always wondered how Santini's daughter reacted learning that her father was a murderer and a war criminal.
She did Nazi that coming. 🤔
She took a sip of concentrated orange Jews.
My favorite of the Cassidy trilogy.
That was my favorite episode because I used to repair that model typewriter. They would have had to modify the mechanism to make it mark the ribbon in one row instead of the usual triple row but that single row would have made it easier forthe audience to read the text.
And for the ribbon to put spaces in as well. I know nothing at all about typewriters though. Just one more thing, was it an IBM82C?
As a 7 year old kid this is the only episode of Columbo I liked… Wasn’t mature enough to watch other episodes until I reached my late 20s-early 30s!
So much style in spite of his coat and the other stuff. Great!
Even if Columbo had not found the typewriter ribbon the magician would still be the main suspect in his employers murder. He had broken into his employers office in the past by lock picking his door. So his employer took the precaution of installing a tough security lock when counting the takings. Only one person at the club had the lock picking skills to open the door and shoot him, and that was the magician. So like in the chess episode where Columbo says the murderer had to be a deaf man, in this case the murderer had to be an expert lock picker.
'You had the skills to do it' wouldn't take you anywhere in a court of law
@@francoisonaIt would be considered strong circumstantial evidence. A good prosecutor would point out to a court who else would have the lockpicking skills to open the specially hardened lock, and was directly connected with the club. There was no evidence of some intruder breaking in from outside the club. By itself it probably wouldn't convict him, but added together with all the other clues Columbo uncovered it would. People have been convicted of murder based on mostly circumstantial evidence before. Besides he essentially confesses at the end when he says "And I thought I had performed the perfect murder".
And the great scene where Columbo challenges Santini to get out of the handcuffs is brilliant because it beautifully establishes his lock-picking skills.
Jack Cassidy was a great murderer. He and Robert Culp made up most of the first season and both were terrific.
You can always tell who the perp is by looking for the guy who chews the scenery the most.
This guy was hamming it up like his rent was due.
One of the best middle finger in storytelling
Why would the ribbon have had spaces between the words? Hitting the space bar would have moved the carriage but wouldn't have resulted in a space on the ribbon. You wouldn't have to be Perry Mason to get that bit of evidence tossed out.
Its just a TV show so it might be just a scriptwriters error. Even if there were no spaces between the letters, they would still spell out the accusation he was a Nazi, which was the last thing he typed out before he was murdered. Between that and the fact the victim got a high security lock for his door which only a lockpick expert could open would also point to the magician as he was an expert lockpicker.
Perfect!!
Nice use of "This Masquerade" instrumental at the end
Jack Cassidy was one of the greats
I am glad Columbo makes TH-cam videos now. I thought he died. Seriously.
0:41 A partridge is painted on the wall (Shirley Jones / David Cassidy)!
Good Catch!
All of these kids thinking that rappers have the coldest lines have never watched Columbo. Probably the greatest TV show of the last century.
Columbo would not be stupid enough to give him the only copy of the letter, so burning it was useless.
The sad thing about Jack Cassidy is that in real life that he took a nap in his apartment and the cigarette that he had fell onto the carpet and caught fire. He didn't get out in time.
If anyone has seen Better Call Saul, I believe that Chuck's death scene is a kind of homage to Cassidy.
Clever use of the song Charade at the end.
Columbo says you can see it, and points to his glass eye.
I just now realized how much the song at the end of this clip sounds like some of the tracks on the American Werewolf in London soundtrack.
The irony is that if he'd taken the fall, got deported back to Germany and done his time, he'd likely have been out before the eighties rolled in.
My favourite line was just when the killer would think Columbo was about to leave he’d say just one more thing. That’s how you knew he’’d got his killer. One of the greatest detectives of his time may he rest in peace 🫡
I knew I shouldn't have watched this clip. Now I have to watch 10 or 12 more. Columbo isn't the worst addiction to have I suppose.
You made ONE mistake, you tried to take on Columbo Magic!
Wilson looks so proud of pulling the letter out. He's like a puppy, so funny
I always enjoyed watching Jack Cassidy.
“Sgt Wilson” is the doctor who slept with Maris Crane!
Lots of unsolved murders. The "perfect" crime.
just one more thing.
