I don't blame him. Honestly, I'd want to try out for the role if anybody talked about anything approaching a remake. Not that I think this should be remade; it's perfect as-is. But I tell ya, I wouldn't mind getting to put on the coat and putting on my best Italian American accent. I can do a pretty good smirk, too.
It's great the way Lt. Columbo keeps showing up and pestering the murderers with "just one more thing I can't seem to figure out." Sometimes you kinda wish Columbo would move on to somebody else and leave the poor murderer alone in peace. Just when you think he's done talking, he shows up again with more of his pesky questions!🤣🤣🤣 Columbo and Monk are probably two of my favorite shows.
above other things- the music score on this one is stunning tho. The intense string sound on murder and elevator scene is so delicate and yet so powerful. Classy

And to provide it in the moments when you are feeling most uncertain. Each and every case.
She clearly had issues with powerful men denying her positions she felt she earned. When she got the idea that her lover just used her and threw her aside at the end, that was his death warrant.
One of the best Columbo episodes. The heart wrenching musical background when Kay was racing to cover her tracks, only enhanced the mood of her sinister motives! Valerie Kirk annoyed me so much. She needed a good kick in the pant. Kay was not ready for the executive position as she imagined!
With DEEP PASSION. I wanna know who wrote that fantastic background score music used during that murder sequence-???? Can anyone help; &, provide me the correct answer, please??
@José Elias I did not know that she was married to George C. Scott. She gave an extraordinary performance in this episode. Very charismatic actress. Thank you.
The context: The producer told his girlfriend that he was promoted to the NY office. She was so happy about their future in NY! But he says "Kate, I want you to stay here." He was breaking up with her. She looked crestfallen. For all of two seconds when she figured he was promoting her to run the LA operation. But he explains she's not ready for that yet. So he gives her a brand new car instead. She wants to kill him. And it's apparently for not promoting her because she was only disappointed about the break up for a few, seconds
I have a question about this episode which I love: When Kay was prepping for the murder, why did she want that young dude working in his office all night?
He established the irrefutable time of death. Her alibi was that she couldn't possibly have committed the murder at that time since she was somewhere else too far removed. But, as we saw, and Columbo discovered, a well planned, quickly executed murder was possible.
@@Sublime_37 Doesn't need to be an airtight alibi, getting reasonable doubt would be enough. Had she not moved the gun, even the police would have had to admit it would take extremely careful timing and she'd probably have walked.
As well as everything else good about this episode, It also shines light on the world of TV executives in the 70s and the world of 'made for TV movies' that were so lovingly made back then. The ones today seem so cheap and off the peg. I remember a great American TV movie made in the 70s. It would have made for a great episode of 'Columbo': A revered New York actor eliminates his wife for cheating. The actor is also blind. He puts on a disguise and pretends to be a person who can see as he travels to a hotel where his wife is to do his business. No one he interacts with on his journey there and back make him as a blind man. I saw it in the 80s as a kid here in the UK. can't remember the name of it though and for a time I misremembered it as an episode of 'Columbo'
Sounds like you mean "In Broad Daylight" from 1971. The mistake is understandable. Its writer Larry Cohen went on to write 3 episodes of Columbo: "Any Old Port in a Storm", "Candidate for Crime" and "An Exercise in Fatality".
If i was her when i seen that gun in the elevator i would have pointed it out to Columbo theirs no prints on that gun and it makes you look more innocent
Watching this as an adult, I'm wondering why she hid the gun at the scene in the first place... She had plenty of other means of disposal and means to get the gun out of the building
My thoughts exactly....but then again,it is possible that there would be Police outside of the building searching through people's belongings,looking for the murder weapon,and that's why she left it on the elevator.There is a possibility that all people inside the building would be searched.
There were only a handful of people in the building, the killer clearly knew the victim would be working late and where he would be, there was only one beneficiary with his death. That narrows the suspect pool quite a bit.
@@GillAgainsIsland12 true but once the gun was found any savvy detective would have easily figured it out. it had to be someone in that building and she's the only one with a personal relationship with that guy.
. 07:42 This woman can obviously reach the pistol NOW. Her hand was a couple inches above the level of the top of the elevator for a second. But the director wouldn't have his SUSPENSE if she just REACHED for it! 🙂 🙂
Should have included the scene at the beach house to provide context of their relationship. Seems like it was only a professional motivation for murder but it was more than that between them.
@José Elias A fake film - a pornographic film - was made specifically for An American Werewolf in London - as a movie within a movie (perhaps it was cheaper than securing permission to use footages of a real 1970s "adult" film).

You're supposed to say "It's all fun and games until Colombo shows up with a brown paper bag of evidence (and his lunch)."
Peter Falk loved playing Columbo. Said he didn’t even fear typecasting.
David Suchet said something similar about Poirot

4:20 Columbo says "Would you want to see them" when pointing at his glass eye, ha.

A classic beauty
Even if I cry a river, the 70's & 80's not coming back.

Hey now, I may be a Millennial but I also greatly enjoyed MASH and have just recently discovered the charm of Columbo. Some of us recognize the good in them old days.
you only remember the good shows of the time
the bad ones get buried
I will never understand why she didn't just stuff that thin lil glove down her shirt instead of throwing it two feet away from her, smh
Or just take the gun with her
Yes, or why she didn't have a silencer which would have bought her more time before the death was discovered.

I agree that such a cool killer would have stuffed the evidence in her pants or bra, but if she'd done that, how would Columbo catch her?
This is one of my favorite episodes.
7:27 is a pretty awkward shot but the message it conveys is critical: She's dooming herself by taking down the gun.
I can't unsee her putting the gun in her mouth now. Definitely a bit unnerving of a "shot"
Watching her try to retrieve the gun from the ceiling in the lift was tense😁
The background music was perfect.
Brilliant
I laughed so hard when she was stepping up on her stuff to get a few inches taller ... even on her tip toes ... that was hilarious ! :-)
When she opened her purse at the beginning, I legit thought she had an iPhone, especially with those earbuds connected lol
Was thinking the same thing.

If Columbo pays you more than two visits your goose is cooked.
Oh what tangled webs they weaved to deceive! But then they ran into Columbo like a neuropathic itch that they couldn’t scratch.
Lol.
Loved the music innthis epiaode especially....And the tension.Amazing.Could watch it thousand Times!
She clearly had issues with powerful men denying her positions she felt she earned. When she got the idea that her lover just used her and threw her aside at the end, that was his death warrant.
It did feel like he used her but the real issue was that they both had different perceptions about their personal and professional alliances.
I love when they trick the murderers into incriminating themselves. It is usually more satisfying than when they just gather clues.

I like the scene where the actress tries to retrieve the murder weapon in the ceiling of the elevator.
Sublime moment when her eyes go up to look at Columbo 10:17.
Indeed just like a student who cheated on a test and know's what is comming .
I have a question about this episode which I love: When Kay was prepping for the murder, why did she want that young dude working in his office all night?
To give her an airtight alibi. Bc she needed the body to be found during the time she was in the editing room.

The actress in this episode is ENTHRALLING. She is beautiful and creepy unlike I have ever seen. She was an amazing actress.......
Married to the great actor George C. Scott.
She reminds me of Katherine Hepburn...
*Is. Even if not actress anymore since longtime. Maybe that was the point^^.

It's a busy office building, put it in a box and send it to the mail room. Deliver it to a PO box in Anaheim, that she set up weeks ago.
@@mkassis713 that’s exactly right and why she did that.
Please! Make Columbo available to be purchased on TH-cam or iTunes. I can’t believe there is no way to watch this outside the US
Of course it is, you can buy the dvds
@@DeltaStar777 I own all the dvds. I want to be able to stream on the go. In this day and age. I can’t believe this isn’t an option

That’s funny seeing as how he didn’t even know a crime was going to be committed bc, presumably, he would e stopped it in the first place. No?
@@michellemckillop5712 I'm not sure. I can't think that far ahead rite now...
Yep. He knew the victim knew the killer just from the glasses.

This one was a pretty well thought out plan. The only problem was her own cold and calculating nature is what gives her away.
There were only a handful of people in the building, the killer clearly knew the victim would be working late and where he would be, there was only one beneficiary with his death. That narrows the suspect pool quite a bit.
@@kev3d that’s true it did. But I think she was hoping someone else would not have an alibi. But she was the only one with motive.

That shot of the gun at the edge and then the shot from the reverse angle just the gun in completely different places
@@Epoch11 My impression is that the director was trying to get the angle so that the barrel is pointing directly at her
I believe it was Peter Faulk's Oscar in that office. Art imitating life.
Wow. Really? You sure do have a keen eye.
Why put the gun there? Somewhere where it's bound to be found and she cannot get to it. Get smart, Kay.
I think she intended to go back for it but didn't get a chance because the offices were never left alone by the police and office workers.
James McEachen. Did I spell that right. Terrific actor.

In many of these, I side with the killer
No wonder she was a good shot: she was married to Patton.
