The real surprise is, after he tells her about the policeman outside who would hear if she shot him, he goes out of the French door when she goes to get dressed...and there's no policeman there.
"And besides you're too classy a woman, now would you please get dressed now? I'm gonna use that the next time someone points a gun at me and see if it works.
Peter Falk is one of my favorite actors. I love both Colombo and Mannix, I love the shows, the guest stars,the story lines. I also absolutely love the clothes, the furniture, the art on the walls. I also watch it now that I live in Southern California because it's so funny to recognize the filming locations.
As noted by Liliana Muldner, three female murders aren't included: Janet Leigh from "Forgotten Lady" Trish Van Devere from "Make Me a Perfect Murder" and Lee Grant from "Random for a Dead Man". But the scenes that are included here are excellent. Notably, the acting of the female leads is terrific throughout. Even the seeming "over-the-top-acting" of Honor Blackman in "Dagger of the Mind" and Anne Baxter in "Requiem for a Falling Star" is terrific. You have to keep in mind that Honor's and Anne's characters are fading actresses. So, Honor and Anne depicted their characters as melodramatic even in life, especially when caught.
@@MrRobby1 There was also a few more. One of them was the girl who pushed a man named Tony and he ended up dying from falling through a glass table. It was from "Columbo Likes the Nightlife". Her boyfriend, who was opening up a new dance club, hid the body in the bottom of a water tank. It was an accident, but he died from her pushing him. It was also Columbo's last case. Her name was Jennifer Sky. There was also the girl that tried to poison Columbo because he was the one who arrested her husband for a crime and he ended up dying in prison. Her name was Helen Shaver and the name of the episode was "Rest In Peace, Mrs. Columbo". The one with Ruth Gordon is also one of my favorites.
@@captaincarl8230 Good point, but Jennifer Sky's character in "Columbo Likes the Nightlife" wasn't, legally, a "murderer." Carmine Giovinazzo's character died from an accidental fall, and there was no intent to kill him. Unlike Bob Culp's character in "Death Lends a Hand," who struck Patricia Crowley's character, Jennifer Sky's didn't even forcibly hit Carmine Giovinazzo's character, so she could not even be said to have been "reckless" or "negligent."
@@jamesfeldman4234 You're right. I forgot about the scene where he kills the person that was blackmailing them because he had taken a picture of inside her apartment and wanted a night with her in exchange for the photo.
It must grieve Columbo to have to bust someone who he admired for years. Like movie stars. In the beginning he shows his admiration to them by telling them he saw their movies or read their books. Then he has to turn around and send them to jail.
I actually do watch it everyday. I have all of the DVDs and it's also on several television channels everyday where I live. Peacock isn't available in Europe. Whenever there's nothing else good on TV or I feel overwhelmed by so many choices and can't decide what to watch, I always watch a Columbo episode.
_Dagger of the Mind_ That final mad scene with Basehart's breakdown and soliloquy from _The Bard's Play_ and contrapuntal commentary from the other characters is as masterfully constructed as a Bach fugue.
The early Columbo movies were the best. Much later, in the 80s and ‘90s, they almost like paradies and not as well done. They also bucked credibility as is it’s hard to accept Columbo still being a detective Lieutenant after all those years.
3:22 Billy Goldenberg's fantastic music really makes this scene - the way it hold the suspense, finally resolving as the murderess hands over the gun. 📺🎵👍 Susan Clark's last look at the Lieutenant shows she's finally met her match, and it's all over!
I ended up, looking up Lee Grant and a host of other roles after her spectacular performance in the initial Colombo. Stunning actress, both visually and professionally.
In "Old Fashioned Murder", did anyone ever figure out the sub plot about the "killing" of Janie's father aka the murderer's fiance? I have watched that episode a dozen times and I feel like some imp part of the plot was left on the editing room floor. It feels like it's never really resolved as to whether she killed him or not.
I think this video should have been entitled "Every Time The Murderer Was a Woman part 1". I don't see Trish Van Devere, Janet Leigh, Ruth Gordon or Lee Grant included, and that is just what I can remember from the original 70's episodes. Maybe the rest will be shown in part 2?
I know this is off-topic but I just want to say that since Hollywood has no new ideas and they continually make unnecessary and unwanted remakes of movies and TV shows, they had better not try to remake Columbo. They ruined Charlie's Angels that way. They ruined Hawaii Five-O over that way. The list goes on and on. NBCUniversal, hands-off Columbo!
As mentioned by others this isn't EVERY time even if we're only considering the 70s episodes. Lee Grant, Ruth Gordon, Trish Van Devere, Janet Leigh....
Women are picked as murderer in quite a few of Columbo. It happens quite a bit in Sherlock Holmes movies as well. I'm a bit sympathetic to how the women are set up before the murders, usually. I'm also impressed with your advertising selections. It's a good indication for me, of your success. 💎 God bless
My favorite villainess is Janet Leigh forgotten lady. The one scene that still puzzles me is when she’s in rehearsal taking a break and Columbo talks w her. She looks truly confused for a minute looking at him like he’s a monster, then comes back to reality. I always wondered if this was a sign of her brain disease in the story.
Her character had Alzheimers and was dying so she had a moment of illness seep through, letting the viewer witness her mind before telling us about her health.
There have also been times when men were the murders, women were their accomplices. The one I remember most is the one where the art collector kills his uncle to get his art collection, and his art student girlfriend helps him cover it up. Of course he killed her as well and made it look like a car accident.
There was the episode where the woman was bragging about her boyfriend had stayed the night at her place making love all night, until Columbo made her realize that was a bad idea being his alibi, it wiped the smug look right off her face, classic Columbo
"In order to lay water pipe, someone would have to dig up the lawn, wouldn't they?" I think this is one of the best lines of dialog ever written for Columbo. The subtext is so thick. He could have gotten a warrant and dug up her yard, made a whole event of her arrest. But instead, he tries to empathize with Nora, give her a safe space to let her secret go and be free of it. BEAUTIFUL scene.
Lol i got SO confused by your comment. First I googled Helen Shaver to check if she was really wife of Peter Falk and if she passed away- turned out she wasn't his wife, and is doing well until now! I was ready to reply to you 'get lost, troll's xD It took me a few seconds to connect the dots.
There are at least 5 different platforms that air Columbo and not a single one plays the entire episode!!!? I don’t understand why 😮 The pleasure of watching columbo is from start to finish not few minutes here n there put together !
I could never figure why the female killers did not appear in more than one episode each. I would have liked to have seen Trish Van Devere or Susan Clarke, or Faye Dunaway in the 1990's remakes, be the killer in two or three episodes each.
Interestingly, one of the murders included here, in my opinion, can't be classified as a murder at all. It's more like an accidental death/unpremeditated killing, but only to defend from the 'victim's' attack. Which episode is it? :D
Name the actress who in successive years was the female lead opposite the 3 biggest male box office stars of the 1970's: Clint Eastwood(#1),Robert Redford(#4) and Burt Reynolds(#2). Bonus points if you can name the films and their years of release. By golly that's a dandy movie trivia question if I do say so myself. And I do.
"And tomorrow...." One of the times Columbo drove someone mad. It would have been funny if he was still saying that in the car when the police drove them off.
Just imagine if this was reality and in present time. all these killers would not serve a day in jail, only that smoking detective would be in jail, and each one of these killers would be awarded 10 mio $ for having their rights violated by that offensive cigar.
"I'm always getting you angry, I'm sorry, it must be my accent or something."
Hahaha! gold =D
I laughed.
I like the air of madness Susan Clark had in that episode and the expression on her face after Colombo said she was classy is priceless.
Great actress! Loved her in porky’s😘
Currently probably my favorite episode of Columbo
The real surprise is, after he tells her about the policeman outside who would hear if she shot him, he goes out of the French door when she goes to get dressed...and there's no policeman there.
@@captmurdockHe literally just said that so he wouldn't get shot XD
Brilliant
"And besides you're too classy a woman, now would you please get dressed now?
I'm gonna use that the next time someone points a gun at me and see if it works.
make sure to bookmark so you can come back and let us know.
😂😂😂it doesn't. I tried that once and almost got shot twice.
Me too. I'm tired of having to have bullets removed from my body ...
@@rabbiswhyshould've also said, "cops are outside, whats the point"
The NEXT time?!?! 😱
Mr Falk was born for this role !!!! Beyond brilliant !!!!
RIP Mr Peter Falk.... Nobody could have done it better my friend.x
It’s sad he died not knowing who Columbo was anymore
i saved i got all mine from pirate bay before it was blocked
Just spent 50 UK pounds for ALL episodes! i am on a Columbo binge watch
I am as well. I watch all of the episodes on Peacock.
Wow big spender here.
Peter Falk is one of my favorite actors.

They also forgot the one with Ruth Gordon as Abigail Mitchell, the murder mystery writer.

It always seemed like by the end of the episode the murderer would want to yell out "Arrest me will you Columbo. You are driving me nuts!"
Well , I think that’s how the MAD magazine take on this show ends 😂
It must grieve Columbo to have to bust someone who he admired for years. Like movie stars. In the beginning he shows his admiration to them by telling them he saw their movies or read their books. Then he has to turn around and send them to jail.
Ruth Gordon episode?
Absolutely need that one 😂❤
I could watch Columbia every day 😂

Whenever there's nothing else good on TV or I feel overwhelmed by so many choices and can't decide what to watch, I always watch a Columbo episode.
It’s free on Tubi streaming. I’ve watched them all a dozen times !
Sometimes I do😂
Just use a vpn, then peacock is available on Mars🎉
@@jcmontecarlo6123 tried that. It doesn't work because I can't get the apk file even with vpn
Love Columbo. What a great show.
Whole series coulda ended early.
“You don’t wanna do that. You’re a classy lady.”
“My dear Columbo, that’s where you’re wrong.” _bang!_
Credits roll.
The look on Anne Baxter's face when she realizes she is screwed is amazing.
"Drink, Lieutenant?"
_Dagger of the Mind_ That final mad scene with Basehart's breakdown and soliloquy from _The Bard's Play_ and contrapuntal commentary from the other characters is as masterfully constructed as a Bach fugue.
When Columbo says “that’s when it hit me” the killer is toast
"Just one more thing "
Columbo is my absolute Favorite.....he is one of a kind
This is a great one! My favorite is Lovely but Lethal... the cosmetic lady murderer.
The early Columbo movies were the best. Much later, in the 80s and ‘90s, they almost like paradies and not as well done. They also bucked credibility as is it’s hard to accept Columbo still being a detective Lieutenant after all those years.
I agree, the early episodes were like a fine wine - such richness in the studio sets and the music.
3:22 Billy Goldenberg's fantastic music really makes this scene - the way it hold the suspense, finally resolving as the murderess hands over the gun. 📺🎵👍
Susan Clark's last look at the Lieutenant shows she's finally met her match, and it's all over!
america is starving for great quality wholesome shows like these. i sure miss those days.
Agree. But murder as wholesome?
So true!!
Anne Baxter. Beautiful lady 🌹
All excellent episodes & as always, the Lieutenant solved every case!!! 👍👍🙂
I loved the Ruth Gordon one which you have missed from your compilation.
I ended up, looking up Lee Grant and a host of other roles after her spectacular performance in the initial Colombo. Stunning actress, both visually and professionally.
Trish Van Devere is another gorgeous actress who appeared in Columbo.
In "Old Fashioned Murder", did anyone ever figure out the sub plot about the "killing" of Janie's father aka the murderer's fiance? I have watched that episode a dozen times and I feel like some imp part of the plot was left on the editing room floor. It feels like it's never really resolved as to whether she killed him or not.
Loved RIP MRS. COLUMBO. Helen Shaver was excellent & quite scarily mad.
Who's Helen Shaver?
I think this video should have been entitled "Every Time The Murderer Was a Woman part 1". I don't see Trish Van Devere, Janet Leigh, Ruth Gordon or Lee Grant included, and that is just what I can remember from the original 70's episodes. Maybe the rest will be shown in part 2?
Ruth Gordon was such a delicious morsel of ham in that one.
There was a touch of frost when they did the umbrella case...
A woman scorned: the sharpest thorn
Not as poisonous as the scorn of a male… some dont even live to get away from that thorn

''i'll fight, i'll survive, i might even win...but you left me out of this. I can't accept that i can't speak now!'' Kay is very angry now.
This is a great episode!
Susan Clark is a class act. Beautiful woman!
Rest in peace peter falk
Susan Clark, Honor Blackman, Anne Baxter, Vera Miles, Celeste Holm and Joyce Van Patten.
Honor Blackman was a stunning beauty but she was quite a bad actress
please please upload all the episodes FULL
Why would this channel’s owner do that? These clips are long advertisements for the subscription access to all full episodes.
This is a few times, there is at least 4 more female editions.
Yes, there was and I named a couple in another post.
Ann Baxter takes the cake
Love all the episodes..... The Tyne Daly one was great, Ruth Gorden... The list goes on......
As mentioned by others this isn't EVERY time even if we're only considering the 70s episodes. Lee Grant, Ruth Gordon, Trish Van Devere, Janet Leigh....
" No hes a very good lawyer and he prides himself on his memory"...........
Good part 1. Part 2 can be Lee Grant, Janet Leigh, Ruth Gordon and Trish Van Devere.
PETER FALK A GENIUS AT SOLVING HOMICIDES. HE WAS ALWAYS CONSISTENTLY AWESOME.
The bluff in the first clip: at the end Columbo steps outside and its revealed he was alone the whole time

Each lady - classy as hell, loved this.
I enjoy watching an episode in 10 minutes but don't know how anyone could sit through an hour.
So it's every time except for four times....

So showing parts of it doesn’t infringe copyright but if they were to show from start to end it does!!?
@@eentun9340 They have to make their money, so yes. Scenes, some zoomed in close and cropped. That's to avoid copyright laws.
Also, it drives you to do what the owners want and what I did: BUY the series. Lol. It's worth it!
@@TheWriterWalker I do own them on a dvd & VHS now time to buy them again!?😂
There was also a Television Movie in 1990 called Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo with Helen Shaver as the murderess.
OHO he knows how to talk to classy woman :)
The music!!! The hairdos!!!
You forgot: Ransome For A Dead Man. Season 1.
Faye Dunnaway was also a murderer in one of the later episodes. And that really hot blonde was an accomplice in Colombo Loves The Night Life
Forgotten Lady?
🧡Columbo
You should upload an entire episode instead. Out of context, this video makes Columbo look like and idiot.
I could never figure why the female killers did not appear in more than one episode each. I would have liked to have seen Trish Van Devere or Susan Clarke, or Faye Dunaway in the 1990's remakes, be the killer in two or three episodes each.
Irony is, Van Devere actually kinda plays Dunaway in "Make Me a Perfect Murder", what with it being a sly take on 1976's "Network".
Faye Di away was in the revival
Female killers are rare in real life.
You don't see them again because they're in jail after the first murder.
this is an other one of my favorite My favorite guy always wins.
Thanks
His wife was also involved in setting up her on screen husband for murder too.
That’s the hardest carpet I’ve ever seen! That pearl tapped like it was on tile! 😬

Great compilation but I think you left out Ruth Gordon's fantastic performance as the murderer in Try and Catch Me.
She is first who want kill columbo
Hard to prove to a jury that the alarm didn't go off before the gun. Are you SURE you heard it like that sir? Etc.
But that was definitely not every time...
Ruth Gordon mystery novel author Abigail Mitchell is missing
If you want something solved, just put Columbo on the case-- bingo!
I am glad that Columbo was willing to display women as villains. Most TV shows would not do that.
Forgotten Lady..
Too classy a lady........who murdered her brother. Hmmm...
A half decent Lawyer would get them all off if they didn’t break down and confess 😂
How is this a Columbo station when Ruth Gordon is not here.
Why did the pearl make a clacking sound when it fell onto carpet? Lol
It took me years to realize that she was Webster's mom and Mongo's wife!
Faye Dunaway and the girl who played her daughter. She sweet talked him til the end.
The criminals are always so accommodating for old Colombo
This reminds me of at least three other murderers who were women on Columbo. Of course there wasn't time.
Too classy a woman……but she killed her brother. 🤯
Every time a doll-baby appeared in Columbo with an expensive wig.........she is the one what did it!!
16:43 Beautiful Vera Miles!!
It's not every time, is it? The video would be two hours long.
