It's always struck me how well Columbo was written & acted as being so empathetic. He doesn't simply "get in the heads" of the murderers, but actually understands their motives. .... Loved the music on this episode, too.
Another unforgettable episode. I doubt I have seen this full episode in the last 30 years. But it is still so vivid. Especially the lines at the end between the two of them. Absolutely classic.
What I loved about the Dr. Allenby character was that, unlike most other Columbo villains, she really did seem just like a normal person who snapped. She wasn't an ice queen, a nasty person with a bad temper, a schemer, any of that by nature. And throughout the episode she is nervous and jumpy as most everyday people would be if they committed a horrible crime like that and were trying to hide it.
@@master-kq3nw Columbo had a most unique ability to treat murderers, even the ones that he may not feel sorry for, like human beings despite their crimes.
@@mikebasil4832 yes but I see that with some killers have good relationship like this woman and one episode with Faye dunaway also he was like friend with carsini in episode any old port in storm and in the conspirators when he and Devlin go to the beer , 😉
The thing I enjoy the most about the Columbo series is that despite everything the killers have done, they are still people, and this episode really shows that hidden aspect. The heart to heart talks between Columbo and the killer is often touching. His last line says it all
Columbo was one of the only TV detectives to regularly show genuine empathy and kindness to the very people he was investigating, and even admiration for them. I don't know if any other actor could pull it off, but Falk was flawless in showing this.
Lindsey Crouse is an exquisitely good actress with a clear talent for making such vulnerable female characters, like in House Of Games and here in Columbo, so realistically sympathetic. Thank you, Lindsay, for being one of Columbo's most unforgettable costars.
I think he's showing a soft spot for her, especially when he says "I think I understand." But then he has to take her in. When he says, "Ma'am," I think he genuinely feels sad about it.
I can't get over how good the writing is on this series. Not like today, when writers use big words that real people wouldn't use, these older shows are easy to follow because the writing seems so real, and the actors give a great performance, also you can hear what they say without background noise or over the top music in an attempt to hype up the drama, like they do today!
Thanks for uploading. Saw this last night on ME TV. Loved it. Hate to complain, but I wish you had not ended it quite so early. Love the very ending where they stand looking at each other. Very dramatic. Great ending.
I love this episode I think Lisa is absolutely stunning and the music is just so beautiful. I feel sorry for Joan. I can understand why she would do that.
Film molto Intrigante,con Ottima Interpretazione dei due Protagonisti......la Musica particolarmente Appropiata Trasmette un'Atmosfera Misteriosa.......!!!!!
There are several and this is one of them, 'new' episodes that were above average over the entire series. I think these get blasted because of some of the absolute garbage - but we must remember there were on or two in the 70's series
She’s the first killer I almost felt bad for…. Killing is never justified, but I can fully imagine the absolute rage she felt. NOT necessarily just about seeing them cheating, (although that would be really bad) … But because of the insults about her and they were joking about it.. That is absolutely the most cruel of betrayals when combined together. I can’t even imagine.
When the "doctor Joan" changes to "Lisa" and picks up her boyfriend in the bar, is he aware that it's his girlfriend Joan? Surely, he must have known it was her when she takes him back to where they work?
But he didn't exactly answer her question about what he thought of her...plus we don't really know if he arrested her...they both got up and it ended..either way, this is my favorite episode. I think I've seen it at least a dozen times...😊
And to think, after this the government secretly bails her out, moves her to Sunnydale and gets her to head a secret super-soldier project under the guise of Maggie Walsh, Psychology professor...
Every time there is a saxophone in every TV show and movie from the mid-80s and mid-90s. I don't know who decided this, but it was overused and became really annoying and repetitive.
The music is incredible and well written.

It's true... these late 80s/early 90s episodes were very well done. I remember so many of them even though I haven't seen them in decades.
I LOVED Lindsay Crouse’s performance as Dr. Allenby!
One of the best episodes. Plotting, script, scenes, music and the interaction between characters. Perfect!
This is my most returned to Columbo clip - amazing writing, acting and soundtrack
I found it interesting that she is not worried about getting caught or going to jail but more worried about what Columbo thinks of her.

4:30 - when she says "Someone stronger," the subtle way the flute picks up the saxophone "Lisa theme" - I never noticed that before.
Best episode ever. Hypnotic score by Mike Post. Genius.

@@chance20m ......he showed annoyance and dislike for many too !!!!
@@chance20m One actor who was gifted like that was the guy in Night Stalker, Darren McGavin I think is his name.
When he said "I think I understand," it helped me to also understand why she did what she did.
Hypnotic music. Great episode.
One of my favorite episodes ever… I think he was intrigued and fascinated with this Lady in Black…..
Love the music in this one.
One of my favourite episodes and the music just makes it perfect
One of my favorite episodes. The music, I like.
First episode I ever saw with my dad and I will always remember every minute
I'm happy for you.
The later Columbo episodes are not so great but this one is a particular favourite of mine. Good performances, excellent music and great murder!
Steve Higgins ha ha
😂🤣😂
Completely agree
yes this one is my favourite too , the music is excellent !
The music and the play of Lindsay are unique and created the unusual atmosphere, totally different than other episodes.
A great episode with fantastic music.
This was a great episode! And the music is just perfect.
Lindsey Crouse is an exquisitely good actress with a clear talent for making such vulnerable female characters, like in House Of Games and here in Columbo, so realistically sympathetic.
Thank you, Lindsay, for being one of Columbo's most unforgettable costars.
I Agree. Lindsay Crouse is superb.
Many of his "gotcha" scenes were satisfying since murderers deserved to be exposed. This one was a confessional, reminded me of Johnny Cash.
She read one of Stephen King's books...Misery
@@those_eyes Thanks for mentioning that. I’m sure that she was superb.
Loved her in House of Games.
I think Columbo is covertly sympathetic of the killer's motives but he's a cop and duty is first !!!!
This episode shows Colombos sensitivity but he still had a job to do
So romantic, sitting next to the fire with the policeman who is arresting you for murder. And he's holding your hand to help you stand up.
I think he's showing a soft spot for her, especially when he says "I think I understand." But then he has to take her in. When he says, "Ma'am," I think he genuinely feels sad about it.

GRANDIOSE MUSIC.....EPISODE SO GREAT....
This music is the Best I be ever heard

the music is great
extraordinaire saxo en fa mineur
Beautiful episode. Even perfect!
TheMediaDirectory agreed!
Of the newer episodes, one of the better ones.
Well said.
Please upload full episodes.
I love this episode I think Lisa is absolutely stunning and the music is just so beautiful. I feel sorry for Joan. I can understand why she would do that.
Women on average have always been more vindictive than men... far more vindictive.
lisa is joan when she is lisa she is beatiful then joan
Columbo is the greatest! Love the saxophone background music from this episode. Does it have a name, and is there an upload of it on YT?
Film molto Intrigante,con Ottima Interpretazione dei due Protagonisti......la Musica particolarmente Appropiata Trasmette un'Atmosfera Misteriosa.......!!!!!
I remember that case well! A most troubling case!
Lt Frank Columbo LAPD I laughed way too hard at this
Lt Frank Columbo LAPD You said wonderful things to her. Bravo!
I bet, she was a smart lady, almost got away with it- almost that is.
An unusually sensuous episode
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! Play with fire and face the consequences.
Simply brilliant
this was quite the watch... awesome episode 👍🏿
Come on, where is the full episodes?
Where is the whole episode? Come-on man!
emil gabl - I know! I keep getting this sh*t thinking it's a full episode!
I watched this episode only yesterday (30/7/18). Superbly crafted episode
Very specific music. Not typical for Columbo. Maybe comparable only to Murder by the Book.
Flipping hate it when you record a show and it stops 5 minutes from the end..... Thanks for posting
The background music is a mysterious red light motive ready for a warm glass of punch and girls around.
my favorite episode.
Uno dei miei episodi preferiti ❣
Are you going to upload any more full episodes?
bonjour; merci merci pour cette vidéo. Qui a composé la musique ?
Can anyone tell me how to find the music? Who plays it? Thanks
I'd like to know that too.
Patrick Williams is the composer. As far as the actual musicians go, they would have Los Angeles studio musicians in 1989.
Why don't we share the fire!
Quite simply brilliant
Best episode
Mi sapete dire il titolo della canzone???
could you please upload it full ??
NBC Peacock streaming service has them. If you have Comcast cable, its included.
The best part was a lightning flash by adding a computerized flash with 1989 technology
There are several and this is one of them, 'new' episodes that were above average over the entire series. I think these get blasted because of some of the absolute garbage - but we must remember there were on or two in the 70's series
Whoever did the close captioning on this segment was high on something .
She’s the first killer I almost felt bad for…. Killing is never justified, but I can fully imagine the absolute rage she felt. NOT necessarily just about seeing them cheating, (although that would be really bad) … But because of the insults about her and they were joking about it..

Why is to thé music 3m40 ?
Good series
Just one more thing
Do we have the music piece from this scene?
What’s the music?
It is composed by Patrick Williams.
When the "doctor Joan" changes to "Lisa" and picks up her boyfriend in the bar, is he aware that it's his girlfriend Joan? Surely, he must have known it was her when she takes him back to where they work?
Yes he knew it was her, they were role playing, fantasy, prostitute & compliant John. That is how she was easily able to murder him.
Yes, he _was_ aware that "Lisa" is Dr. Allenby role-playing (he did not know that she knew of his trysts).
It was obvious he knew it was her.
Never ever talk to the cops. Zip it.
Where can I find the entire episode...
NBC Peacock Streaming service. If you have Comcast cable, its included.
Good saxophone in movie great episode lisa black .woman
Dagger of mind my favourite episode
One of the best episodes, but the ending is a bit weak
But he didn't exactly answer her question about what he thought of her...plus we don't really know if he arrested her...they both got up and it ended..either way, this is my favorite episode. I think I've seen it at least a dozen times...😊

Can I have another one, sir?
Who knows the episode when the lady was wrapped in a shower curtain in the wall
I think it's "Columbo cries wolf" first shown 1990
Columbo Cries Wolf. She was wrapped in the bag for one of her mink coats.
Everyone called the Gotcha episode!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ columbo
please don't upload short clips, totally nonsense. We want to watch full episodes.
"We"?
I love seeing these clips!
@@TH-camallowedmynametobestolen Agreed
Do not view them, then 😡
Why Columbo ever the charmer
Just a teaspoon of sugar helps the medicine go down the medicine go down go down the medicine go down!!!
Cute, but she is not Julie Andrews. Or are you alluding to the sweet way Columbo doles out the medicine of justice?
Very film noirish
J'adore.
1989
Périod👌
Lisa!
Excellent reveal.
❤❤❤❤
What do you think happened after hand went in hand............. ✋ in ✋ 🦉 Virna Pandey 39 and the 🐖
See I told you so. Colombo gets his man or woman every time. 👍
Vous me faites tous rire bande de guignols c'est un acteur pas un vrai policier
ciao
