Let's face it, if Columbo asks you more than three questions, you're the murderer!
Let’s face it, if you are the target of the line “oh, just one more thing” you’re busted!
I read that it started as an accident on the first episode they forgot something. So rather than reshoot the whole scene they had him turn around and come back in. Now, if you hear, wait, just one more thing? You’re toast.
@@kellykerr5225 It started on the script for the stage show they had written that he'd walked off stage, and at the time if you made such a mistake you'd need to retype the entire page so instead of doing that they wrote it so he came back after forgetting to ask something.
@@24magiccarrot That’s exactly what I heard too. So the most famous line was really an accident. I’m mad at some guilty people right now and I’m trying to channel my inner Columbo as I try to reel them in. The police certainly wasn’t any help at all surprise surprise. They have only helped my communities if I let them have a place to live to go under cover. That was in the 1980s.
It’s hard to imagine that Columbo never needed a gun. But I do like that.

If you wake up in bed and Columbo has been lying next to you the whole night, then he's definitely suspicious of you!
Here in Australia my friend David got called to his son's school because the kid was writing some really disturbing essays in his creative writing class.When David read some of the kid's work in front of the principal he started laughing out loud.Turns out his son was just writing down plots from Columbo episodes for school work..What an influence Columbo was on this 11 year old !!
That 11 year old is on the right path.
The teacher who made the call wouldn't be a they them it Biden bum buddy would they?
I love Kangaroos
That is helarious.
Thank God your friend David was not called to school because his son was smoking a cigar...
"You're too classy a woman." and she just melted in his hands. She was a murderer, but maybe that could have been avoided if her family had been as kind to her.
That is most certainly the case, given the fact that what drove her to perform the actions she did, was the prospect of living *under* her brother, the very same way she lived under her father, with no control whatsoever over any aspect of her life. Doesn't excuse her actions one bit but it makes your last sentence very likely.
Here's a mystery to solve: How tf did Leslie Nielsen manage to look the same age for 30 fucking years?
Donahue/Steve Martin syndrome. He grayed early.
He put the horse in the cart and ran around the block until he was superfit.
His genetics are funny. He started to look really old at a young age, but then stopped aging past that point lmao
@@RatchetandSly There are many such people who look fifty the day they are born, and stay that way, Lee Van Cleef, Edward G. Robinson, John Thaw, Lee J. Cobb, Gene Hackman, Randolph Scott.............many more
@@29brendus Dean Norris is another great example. He's looked like he does now since he was 35.
Seen this countless times. And I love that line “policemen outside what would be the point?” Then it’s revealed that there are no policemen outside. Just him. Solid understated bluff. A life saving bluff. Then a genuine compliment to put her off wanting to kill him. Columbo missed a trick not being a poker player.
A Columbo + Frank Drebin team-up is what I never thought I wanted until now 😅
Just don't call me shirley
...and Oscar Goldman - Steve Austin's boss!
"cigarette?"
"Yes I know "
We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then.
I think there are 2 or 3 episodes with them.
Sadly Peter is no longer with us, but Columbo will live forever! I'll never get tired of watching him crack another case.
same!!
just one more thing---the Canadian born actress is beautiful
True.
Bryce is gone as well.
Same with me. Viva Columbo!!!
I love how he plays to her vanity and that stops her from shooting him, not the fact there are police outside. She was a great “Murderer” in that she starts off sympathetic then becomes the monster she truly is, through the neglect of her family, by the end. I love this show.
No, no, no. She's been frustrated all her life... not neglected.
She wants the percs -- but was never one for 'heavy lifting.'
@@davidhimmelsbach557 Translation: ENTITLED! In fact, the more I've watched this episode, the more I'm convinced the boyfriend, Peter Hamilton (Leslie Nielsen), was having second thoughts about their future (I think the REAL eye-opener was that stockholders meeting and what immediately happened in that room after they left) and who could blame him?!
She is portrayed really well, someone that gets status just for being born, raised thinking she is special, then she takes power by murder and reveals that it was all about herself, not a victim but a bloody tyrant.
I believe this was the only time Columbo ever had a gun pointed at him. One villain tried to sic his attack dogs on him, one tried to behead him and two others tried to poison him, but this was the only time someone threatened to shoot him.
William Shatner's character (his second appearance) went for a gun once, but that time, the lieutenant had police backup on bicycles. That said, you're right in that it wasn't pointed at Columbo, yet, when he was taken into custody. Still, it was a moment of deadly intent.
He has a way with words. He convinced her to hand him the gun without any hesitation or any fight and talked to her calmly as if everything was normal. I still watch these shows.
thats make sme wonder, did one of the murderers ever fight back when columbo catched them?
@@Link3000XD I do think I remember an episode where he at least suspected such a thing to happen and actually pulled out his gun, but I can't remember an actually alteraction.
@@Link3000XD Yes. At least one tries to kill him.
He played to her ego.
I love the interactions between Nielsen and Falk's characters. In spite of the lieutenant's meddling in the love of his life's affairs -- even trying to pin a murder on her -- he can't suppress his visible amusement and admiration of him :)
Susan Clark was red hot !! Wow!
One of my favourite episodes too!
This television series was beloved and unique because it took the unorthodox approach of first revealing the murder and the murderer and then letting the viewer observe the disheveled and unassuming Lt. Columbo slowly ensnare the perpetrator with their own actions, their own arrogance and their own words..
This is why there will never be another detective that equals Columbo..
With the progress of science, this tv show is now old fashioned !
@@aligattor2639 care to name some serials better than this.
@@aligattor2639 No matter. Still very intriguing and entertaining.
She was also Webster's mother
Unorthodox, yes, and yet this is how most investigations are in real life, more how-dunnits and why-dunnits than who-dunnits.
The amazing 1970s Los Angeles clothing is possibly my favourite thing about the original series.
Just the HUGE velvet lapels on her "board meeting" suit made my day.
You want giant lapels and outrageous bell bottoms, check out the episode with the fitness gym guy. 🤣
you and me bro
Leslie Nielsen was good in this episode and was equally brilliant in the Patrick McGoohan episode (Identity Crisis), where he's a spy. His screen time is minimal, but he's effective as the strong, silent types in both episodes. It would have been hard to imagine back then, that he'd later become more popular in comedic roles.
The Lady who plays Beth Chadwick was in Coogan's Bluff. She's the one Walt Coogan (Clint Eastwood) goes to for a spaghetti dinner.
Yeah ! He was actually quite the handsome dude back then .!
Yea, he was really silent in the other one.
@@drasticwillb Dead silent.
It's nice to know Mr. Nielsen was always 60+ years old.
@@fovarberma752 Not in the 1950s he didn't. He looked 40 back in the times.
Did anyone else almost expect Leslie Neilson to say something totally off the grid as Frank Drebin? What an actor.
"I would have been here earlier but your brother wasn't dead then."
Every actor and actress in this episode is first-rate and the transformation or development of each character is entirely credible. Although, for example, Leslie Nielsen is remembered today primarily for his comedic roles, played with brilliance and style, he was also a superb dramatic actor, as can be seen here.
@James Feldman He was the reason I decided to watch "Identity Crisis" for the first time (as a teenager in the '90s, back when it was on A&E; I first heard of him playing Frank Drebin), despite being the victim.
He would have been a superb murderer, too.
Susan Clark, the suspect here, was also known for playing the mom in "Webster".
When she pointed the gun at Columbo, he should have said "Just one more thing before I go"
The Lincoln Continental Brice drove (not shown) was about $7000 new in 1971.
The blue Ferrari 356GTB would be worth way more back then, found on the internet that an average Ferrari would cost between $18000 and $23000 in 1970.
..and gas was .25 cents
This was before the 1974 gas crunch
@@flitsertheo That was about right for an exotic car of the time, a new Rolls Royce was almost 25-30k.
Very-very good! I just like it, because the entire episode within 12 to 13 minutes. Only by introducing the most fascinating segments. Bravo! Job well done.
I strongly disagree that shrinking an episode to such ridiculous proportions is useful. You miss out so much this way. Though it perhaps represents our attention deficit disorder society.
So sad she could've have got a job in burger king worked for minimum wage quessy she likes steak inside of burger king
She liked candy
Mother could care but didn't loved the 🐕 too much
Surely Steve Austin would of been a big help. And don’t call me Shirley
I knew there had to be one here. :D
😂😂😂👍
Lady in Waiting murdered her brother with the naked gun?!
11:55 The Columbo murderesses always leave in such style - even though it's off to jail!
Can you imagine the Character “Columbo” and the character “Monk” on a Murder Case together?… They’d drive each other crazy!😂😂😂
This segment was sumed up in less than 10 minutes! Priceless! Just one more thing! You have to love Columbo! 🔎 👀 🔍
Colombo: Surely, you can't be serious.
Nielson: (well, you know his answer)
This is one of the handful of episodes where the killer tries to kill Columbo to try to get away. When she pulls the gun on him he says to her what would be the point of killing him with policeman outside. To me that implies in Columbo episodes even if we don't see the police around when he is arresting the killer they are always in the background unseen. It reminds me of the ending of the later William Shatner episode when the police were disguised as cyclists out for exercise.
then in one episode the killer tries to cut his head off with a guillotine but Columbo takes the chance and switches the labels safe labels knowing the killer would try it giving him his last piece of evidence .
Except in this episode after Columbo goes outside there are no police, and he visibly lets out a sigh of relief.
Lieutenant Columbo, I just wanted to say, "good luck. We are all counting on you."
Roger, Roger.
@@truefilm6991 Huh? Who? ;)
@@Dr.UldenWascht A quote from "Airplane!' Roger, Roger. Over, Oever. Clearance, Clarence. What's the vector, Victor? Etc.
@@truefilm6991 Yeah, I got it mate. I was repeating the "Huh? Who?" responses they were giving to each name being called 😅
@@Dr.UldenWascht ah, ok. Yeah, I should have known. 😂😂 😂
Despite dressing up in a messy way, Columbu is a gentleman.
That was the point, to look weak and get close to the suspects.
It's not messy you utter classist.
Same pay grade as Kojak too - one of the 70s best dressed tv characters, let alone police detectives. I'm guessing Mrs Columbo was expensive to maintain and that's where his money went
I wonder why Columbo doesn't recognize Lieutenant Drebin, his colleague from the LAPD. Can you take a guess?
😂😂😂😂 Franck Drebin
@@SprinkleGøddess 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Drebin became policeman after meeting Columbo)
@@ivans.191 That explains it, thank you!
Can you imagine them working on a case together?! Would be amazing!
Columbo had the best looking actresses.
Superb score by Billy Goldenberg, featuring the most chilling musical intro for the opening credits of all the Columbo episodes.
You know when I first saw Susan Clark in this role, and she did an excellent job, I could also see Elizabeth Montgomery as Beth Chadwick. I think Susan and Elizabeth acting style are some what similar.
Yes, I agree. 🙂
Elizabeth Montgomery would have made an excellent perp in a Columbo episode.
Good comparison. I agree. (And since we're doing comparisons, didn't I see Susan's hairstyle in the movie Monster's Inc.? Lol)
Good point.
I love the haunting music at the end ..works well 👌.
While Beth did an about face and became very lecherous towards the second part of the video, she no doubt was one of the more sympathetic villains. I'd put her in the same category as Johnny Cash or Ruth Gordon's characters. The chauvanism and verbal abuse heaped on her by not just her brother but parents as well could only lead to such a destructive act. Plus, both the brother and mother seemed like they got some sadistic pleasure out of the cruelty put on her. It's not clear if the murder was deserved, but later on when she puts the mother in her place, well that certainly was merited. If only these people had treated Beth with the proper respect then none of this would have happened.
@Invité she was definitely sure, nobody else could have done it. His reaction was very off putting.
She didn't grieve nor did she stop herself from giving him motive right in front of his face as well as to anyone listening... Most other Columbo villains actually try to hide their role by not giving clues away to the lead detective
Something I've just noticed: Beth says she's gonna call her lawyer - I wonder is she talking about her fiance, Peter ? Because he is, in fact, a lawyer. So, if that's true, she was going to reach out to him for help - only to discover moments later he gave the damning evidence against her
I highly doubt that he was her lawyer since he was a witness and had to testify himself, so there could have been a conflict of interest.
This is one of my many favorite episodes - the change in the woman from the beginning of the show in to not only a killer, but a strong overly-bossy lady. Great writing and acting.
Yes it was, but a shame she felt she had to wear a wig.
@@stevebbuk ?! Whagt does her hair have to do with anything?
@@SupremeCommanderBaiser Actually looking at this clip again it may be her natural hair at the beginning. But it made her look less authentic towards the end.
The music scoring in their final confrontation will be among the best I’ve ever experienced.
Somehow decadent and gothic, but warming.
Definitely among my favorite Columbo moments.
I agree - it really adds to the drama of the situation. The last few bars exude such sadness ...
I was so fortunate to grow up watching the original Columbo series as a teenager. For me, it was Columbo and Kung Fu, every week.
This is the very first episode of Columbo that I ever saw as a child…….
Susan Clark (Webster sitcom), Richard Anderson (The Six Million Dollar Man series), Leslie Nielsen (The Naked Gun movies), the guest stars talent for this series was always the best available !!!
Don't forget the great Jessie Royce Landis from Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief and North By Northwest. Must have been her last role.
I love this episode! "Lady in waiting" Leslie Nielsen was absolutely tremendous he will be greatly missed richard Anderson from the six million dollar man and susan Clark with their awesome performance.
I think that the actress is Susan Clark. She is very pretty in the fashion of the 70s .
I don't think Columbo has the slightest bit of disdain for the murderer. He recognized the desperation, and while still using it to charge and convict, seems to be pretty empathetic.
Columbo Goes to College - He's clearly disgusted by the attitude of the murderers after he caught them.
Hes the grestest
In a Carson appearance, Falk said he played the Columbo character to always be dignified and unpretentious and to treat the suspect/murderer with respect and dignity. Thanks for posting these!
@@SallySallySallySally there're a few times where he lost his cool though, like with that surgeon and fitness trainer
So many wonderful actresses, and actors appeared on our wonderful
Columbo!
Many years of joy and mind stimulation enjoyment with
Columbo.
Never will ever tire of the privilege given.
First and only time I was ever nervous for Colombo 🥺
...until the marmalade episode
There WAS that one moment in "How To Dial A Murder".
I absolutely love this episode. The problem is it should have only taken 12 minutes to resolve the case as Peter (Leslie Nielsen) would have remembered that night he heard the shots before the alarm. It wouldn't have taken a talk with Columbo at a bar because he would have testified at the inquest. No way would he have not included the "shots before the sound of the alarm" in any statement he had made with police.
You would think so. The only thing I can think of is initially Columbo did not suspect her of murder so he accepted her story her alarm had gone off and she shot what she thought was an intruder, so he didn't ask Peter the question which came first. It was only later when he started suspecting her, he got the idea she was lying and she shot her brother first then turned on the alarm to make it look like a tragic accident.
@@patrickjohnson5658 If you remember, Columbo found the newspaper on the table at the door. It was the afternoon edition. When he was arresting Beth, he told her that he knew it wasn't an accident when he arrived at the scene and saw the newspaper on the table. He said he had to wait for the proof.
@@jllore1917 There is also the possibility Peter who was highly agitated at the time as he came over in a temper to have it out Bryce over his threat to sack him if he didn't stop seeing his sister, did not consciously register which came first as he had other things on his mind. He wouldn't be expecting to hear a burglar alarm and shots. It was later only when he was in a calm state in the bar and at Colombo's prompting he really began to think about it.
Excellent performance here by Susan Clark .! She transforms from Plain Jane to Femme Fatale.
Don't know much of her other work but this was terrific !
@@2msvalkyrie529 I believe she will be best remembered for starring in "Webster" with her real life husband. She also starred in other crime series.
Love Columbo. The Blu-rays make it look like it was shot yesterday. Susan was hot. : )
The following lesson I just learned from this Colombo Episode - ⭐Do Not Apply too much pressure on anyone⭐. At the end you might be very-very sorry about doing so. Indeed! It could become life-threatening experience.
⭐The Stone which you neglect and never expect harm from it - it could destroy you Once and for all⭐! What a great lesson to remember all the time. Thanks Mr. Colombo for being a good Teacher...!
You are doing absolutely outstanding job ! Can’t wait for more of your uploads !
05:09 he only had a sandwich in his hand. 05:11 he had both a sandwich and a cup in his hand :) AND he even switched from right hand to left hand !
Still watching these shows. Just awesome.
In real life, such a rich person, with a good enough lawyer, will have her free the same night. All they have is her boyfriend's word for the sequence of events. All she needs to say is, she was planning on dumping him, and now suddenly he remembers the shots before the alarm?
She'll probably end up with all his money too, after suing him for "slander". After she sued the police department for false arrest, of course.
Columbo's case would just end up making her even richer than she already was. Sadly that's the reality of real life. The rich just keeps on getting richer, no matter what they do. Everybody's equal under the law, it's just that some are more equal than others.
Columbo was never about sending the person to prison. It was about finding the killer. Often there was very little evidence. There is actually a video on TH-cam that states "do not talk to the police even if you are innocent" a conviction can come from just saying the wrong thing to a police officer.
Yes that's the series conceit that requires total suspension of disbelief: that these wealthy, world-wise murderers would yuck it up with Columbo day after day, week after week without a lawyer anywhere near the joint. As if.
The reason the general public could identify with Columbo is that he was a working class guy, busting the high and mighty rich people.
I was thinking the same thing- all she had to do was stick with her story- she was awakened by the alarm, saw the curtains moving, grabbed her gun and shot the guy. Then dump her boyfriend and it's his word against a 'vulnerable, frightened', 'scared' woman. Not to mention, she was already found innocent once- no way this even goes to trial.
She murdered her brother for money! That is real class there Columbo! I thought he was going to say he had snuck in and emptied the gun!
Her brother treated her like a child, interfered with her relationships and generally acted without consideration for her feelings. There was undeniable logic behind her decision to eliminate him. Conversely, killing a married police officer, in the course of his duties, would be pointless and savage.
I wondered why Gary Walberg looked (and sounded) familiar. He was on Quincy ME.
Surely, there's SOMETHING Peter could have done....
"What exactly? And please don't call me Shirly."
this is one of my fav episodes
"I don't want any more questions, understand?"
Ahhh... ma'am, just one more light bulb, please.
That's funny. I was just watching Columbo on TV and Frank Drebin quotes on TH-cam 😂🤣😁
Is that Oscar Goldman?
The part with Frank Drebin running up to the house is not shown here. It's pretty funny.
i heard the alarm before the shots lol
I hope Columbo didn’t call him Shirley.
Отличный сериал!!!
И я бы с удовольствием посмотрела его на русском языке. Спасибо.
Love, Love this episode ! Can you be charged for murder twice ?
No. But the initial hearing in this episode is a Coroners Inquest, not a criminal trial.
In the UK if there's enough new evidence, for example from DNA, a second trial is possible. Has happened only a very few times.
Richard and Leslie also appeared together in Forbidden Planet 1956
He also dies too.
great early sci fi movie.
She’s actually quite hot
What is Oscar Goldman doing there ?
Seeing him in this episode, it's hard to believe that Leslie Nielsen would one day become such a comical character in the Naked Gun series.
Seeing Leslie Nielsen I kind of expected him to either drop his pants, set fire to the drapes or put a table on someone's head or anything of the sort... LOL
Before airplane he was a dramatic actor only
I like the slow zoom close-up on her boob in that negligee at 11:21. Pretty risqué for a 70s Columbo episode. They liked it so much they did it again at 12:32 . Good for them.
Well done Columbo but I felt sorry for her 💙💚
'Besides you are too classy a Woman' - classic from Columbo - calm under all circumtances
Frank Drebin was so inspired that he joined the LAPD and formed Police Squad.
One of the most enjoyable takedowns in the whole show
That pink hat she wore was so ridiculous, oh those 70s fashions
But oh those '70s women!
@@joejones4172
Yes!
And they looked especially ridiculous on Clark, who is nearly 6" tall.
Susan Clark tipped her hand a bit too much to Columbo at the 4:20 mark or so. Should have kept that conversation within the family.
Did anyone else notice the chemistry and sexual tension between Colombo and Miss Chadwick? In one scene she even gives him a flower, locks eyes with him and smiles.
I think they could have hooked up, eventually.
I always liked the way he would say one more thing 😂😂.
That was her brother ?!?!??!!
This looks like it would be soooooooo good in a full episode
Susan Clark was creepy good in this.
I keep expecting Leslie to make a joke but it never comes
Humor and Intelligence Columbo has, when wheels are turning.
Few words, deep meaning. 😉
The older woman was Carey Grant's mom in North By Northwest.
Well, she's got her freedom now that her brothers gone.
Columbo is playing with fire as he accuses her of the crime while she holds a gun!😬
Hope we get more of these condensed episodes. Thank you.
Every time I see Leslie Nelson in a serious role I can't help but keep waiting for the punch line.
Same. NAKED GUN was a blessing and a curse for him
@@piggypooo I think it really made him a big star. Had he not done those shows and movies he would be a footnote really. While a very good actor he was never a lead man.
@@StanSwan I agree...but I keep waiting to see him make that dumbfounded face. It's forever ruined for me in taking him seriously in other roles🤣
Hey, it's Enrico Pallazzo!
1:42 They have a Sesame Street doorbell!
These characters are created to lie so convincingly and (as well) be so at ease with their lies. Columbo taught me much of this world and what types of liars we may have among us.
Smiling to Joe and Hunter Biden.
Anyone know if Cozi TV is picking back up the older episodes? MeTV is “retiring” Columbo this month.
and dont call him Shirley
Nice job editing these segments together, very smooth. (I worked in the TV biz for 30+ years and have a little bit of a perspective.)
Wouldn't this be double jeopardy though since she was already found not guilty of the murder?
@@johnklatt3522 Huh, I hadn't heard of that before. Is that usually done with a jury or was that just there for TV flavor?
The inquest only found that the death was accidental. She was never charged with murder until Columbo cracked the case
the jury scene just wasn't shown in this 12 minute cut
🤔 never seen this one, now I wanna see the entire episode.
Hulu has columbo episodes
Luckily she got out of prison due to good behavior, changed her name, moved to Chicago, married an ex Football star and adopted a diminutive but precocious black orphan. So it all kinda worked out.
wut?
Webster lol
Tiny little black man
I just love her pink velvet outfit ❤️
I like the hairstyle she had at the ending.
Oscar Goldman 😂😂
He had his way with every 'classy woman ' he was on set with.
