The tailor shop owner not only runs his tailor business in Beverly Hills, but he also is a funeral director and an Italian Restaurant owner. What can this guy not do?
Must have run into hard times since he ends up an alcoholic bum in a soup kitchen
Heh.
This guy is super busy. First class work ethics.
But sadly he fell on hard times after this case and became homeless. Dependent on a touch of the grape to induce slumber.
Don't forget that he was also a homeless alcoholic before he started those companies. And a wine expert.
Yes, He was a funeral director in a movie and he always smooth his hair back with his left hand. 🤣😂 He played a restaurant owner and a maitre 'd.
Columbo: A personal question. Nothing to do with the case.
(Has everything to do with the case.)
Beat me to it.
Hahah
Ah… oh Sir… one more thing… (rolls out the real question he wanted to ask)
Absolutely!!
😂😂
The interaction between Columbo and the tailor is brilliant, both in terms of being slyly funny and in terms of just illustrating Columbo’s unique ingenuity as an investigator.
I broke up when Columbo explained that he wanted to look good because he was going to an affair. His wife is in a bowling league and they were having this dinner-dance, annual thing, $17.50 a couple.
Yup; that was incredibly humorous!!!
The great Vito Scotti!
“Columbo” had a knack for bringing back guest stars even if it’s just a character seen in 2-3 scenes with either the Lieutenant or the killer
@@lukacunningham342 He was his own man…
@@lukacunningham342 Quality over novelty
" I am sure he was delighted, he love's a challenge " 😂😂😂😂
There are many insults to Columbo's overall appearance throughout the series. That has to be one of the best. 🤣
That was below the belt.😂
Nice the way Colombo stood up to him though. Colombo didn’t let the insult hit.

YES, I am agreed 100%!

I do agree w/: the sentiment behind your comment; however.
Jackie Cooper was letter-perfect as the sleazy politician in this one. The way he talked, presented himself, he could have easily passed as a real politician.
Ouch!
--or a Century 21 salesman in that horrible beige jacket. This episode is definitely in my Columbo Top 10.
Phenomenal
@@robertwheatley4907 That's camel hair material and very expensive. It's not as common today, and I'm not sure why an LA politician would need it as it's usually a winter, heavy material, like tweed. Or at least I always thought it was. It's more common as a winter overcoat material
He's always been a great actor. 😊
I know this has been talked about before however, I love the fact that columbo will flat out humiliate himself even if it means he solved a case The depths to which this man will go to to bend the law and not break it but bend it to his will is astounding and fascinating about the character
Agreed. I also noticed one detail in this last clip that he did with his green tie: he purposely mismade it just by a slight bit.
When I was learning to tie a tie, I was taught with visual cues, having the outer tip of the small end pointing to the inner tip of the large diamond, if that makes sense. However, Columbo reversed that to make him look a slight bit descheveled.
I cannot confirm it, but it looks like his jacket is also made of very thin fabric to gather creases easier.
@@Maninawig , and his coat doesn't have a lining in it.
@@redmoneylady2213 thank goodness I watched that clip recently
@@redmoneylady2213He's in Los Angeles. If it had a liner he'd be sweating profusely everywhere.
I'm of the belief that Hollywood would not have been as great as it was without unsung character actors like Vito Scotti. And he was one of the best.
PS: Scotti's subtle impatience toward Columbo is the work of an acting genius. It doesn't get notice because it comes so naturally.
I was always delighted to see Vito appear as a guest star on shows of that era. He has the distinction of having the most guest appearances (four) on Gilligan’s Island playing two different hilarious characters.
Yes, all of the above 2 comments is solidly true!
He was brilliant. It's a great scene. His facial expressions are so funny.

what a moment when hayward says "have I satisfied you about the jacket?" all three actors present have separate emotions appearing on the countenance...brilliant!
Ugh, watching Columbo handling the camel-hair with cigar in hand had me on edge...
Your a load of laughs!😅
lol i thought i was the only one who noticed that....i rewound twice to see if the cigar was lit😊
Hell me too
@michaelbassey1993
Me, too!!
And I thought I was the only one noticing that.
"It looks very functional" is the nicest thing anyone has ever said about the coat.
While he has a lit cigar in his hand he checks the fabric....
Vito Scotti was one of Peter Falk’s good friend which is why he made numerous appearances on the Columbo shows
Vito Scotti was wonderful & he was in many Columbo episodes. He was also in many, many other shows as a guest!!!
Agree. His natural delivery and reactions are a joy to watch, legend.
True. They should do a video compilation about him.
The tailor!
I loved him when he gave Columbo some grapes :D
A treasure. He always made your smile and he popped up everywhere in 60's and 70's TV...his turns as the evil scientist and Japanese sailor on Gilligan's Island are still well remembered. In "Columbo", my favorite is when he is the maître d at the restaurant in "Any Old Port In A Storm"...when he summons his underlings for a new table...classic...
God I love older shows. The audio has such a crisp feel to it. Taxi and Columbo just give me such a warm feeling.
Yes, so -->>Very true!!
"Looks very functional." Great description for Columbo's classic coat. 😅
It’s hilarious. Just simply brilliant. The way the assistant tailor mario adds to the scene with his eyes and mannerisms The ‘splendid comments’
Mario almost stole scene without saying a word from two of the greatest actors of all time
This is one of my favorites, right up there with "Suitable for Framing."
I die every time Columbo says"17.50 per couple "
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I die evertime he asks about the price of the coat. He's told $200, and he says, "no, just the coat". He then asks, "no pants?" Genius I say!!!!
@ 4:00 The prices / wages he mentions in these YT clips are shockingly low.
Say what you will, but that tailor was very polite, attentive, and professional every step of the way and never once even instructed that Colombo, who had been mistaken for a homeless person in another episode, would have any trouble paying for his work.
Even when he referred him to a department store it was entirely due to the timeframe of the request.
I love the backhanded compliment of “it looks functional.”
a bit like complimenting a baby - 'oh, it has such a big head'
Lynne Benfield once bought a coat that was advertised as: Strong Coat For Sale
@@krell2130 A fan of Partridge and Columbo? Jurassic Park!
@RustyJiggs
Yes, absolutely, that very backhanded compliment was yet another, very funny bit of "Columbo" 1rst Version Episodes' humor!
😂
love the ever lasting transition... "Ofcourse Lieutenant, i'm always glad to help the police department.." 30 minutes later "Look, I've had enough of you harassing me....the chief of police is my friend Columbo, !"
"Can I ask you a personal question? Nuthin' ta do wit' da case..."
Any time the police ask you a question, ALWAYS assume it's about the case.
Not just clever plots, but the acting was brilliant.
You could make a whole compilation of columbo being surprised by the price of different things
True. The barber for example. 😂
Chadwick (Vito Scotti) doesn't seem at all concerned about Columbo's hand holding a lit cigar being held right near the material.
I was triggered, agitated and restless the whole scene because of that, haha.
I guess back then people were used to smoking and it was assumed it you ruined it you bought it. Especially with a high-end tailor like that.
This channel should do a Columbo “sticker shock” compilation.
when converted to 2022 dollars we would also be shocked. lots of items, especially clothing, would be deemed extremely expensive today. this was before the mass imports of cheap items from the Philippines, China, etc. occurred.
I have to say....I watch Peter Falk in Columbo....he was just wonderful....one of the greatest actors...the delivery was so natural.......watching reruns of the show....snippets of scenes here on TH-cam....I can't help but smile and enjoy
Love this clip with the tailor. The tailor is absolutely brilliant.
The way he says 'department stores' in such a dismissive way! Just brilliant.
I love the contrast between Colombo's getup and the suave tailor, haha. Isn't there an episode where they confuse the Lieutenant for a homeless person because he looks so shabby?
The nun at a food shelter
@@ianmangham4570 Coincidentally the nun tried to give Columbo a jacket in that episode.
@@huskyfaninmass1042 Great episode
Columbo is always pitted against wealthy people, the contrast is part of the draw.
There's also an episode where he gets a new coat from his wife- all clean and sharp. No wrinkles, fits him right.
As you might imagine, he spends the entire episode trying to "lose" it someplace. xD
Vito Scotti was such a fun character actor.
Vito Scotti was a great character actor. He is one of my favorites.
Vito Scotti acts as if he's going to have the rug cleaned as soon as Columbo leaves!
Worlds greatest actor Vito Scotti.
Merci for this, and for showing off the talents of Vito Scotti. I happened to buy a funeral plot from him since he is such a smooth talker.
And I bought a gross of soybeans from him. But apparently he didn't write his own speeches.
….and sat down and ate at a soup kitchen😉
His funeral plots are very desirable...people are dying to get in there...
I like Vito Scotti's suit and tie 😉
So 70's 💙
"Gee, you make me feel so important I forgot what I was gonna say!" 🤣
$1255.00 for that jacket today.
Yes, I was thinking that I bought my first car about the same time as this episode. I paid $450 for the car.
@@chriscosby2459 how old was it?
@@RADIUMGLASS In 1976, I paid $450 for a 1973 Gremlin. I was 16 years old.
@@chriscosby2459 In 1973 I paid $185 for a black 1958 Ford galaxy! And in 1971 I got a two tone1962 Olds station wagon for $125😅
"Every once i a while i think about getting a new coat..but there's plenty wear left in this 🤔 🙄
"Looks very functional" ... sounds like an improvised line he was waiting for the perfect scene to use in.
Three legends: Jackie Cooper, Peter Falk and Vito Scotti. Cooper got his start in the classic Hal Roach Our Gang comedies as a gifted child actor, and Scotti played Nazorine the baker in The Godfather.
I also remember him in a couple of Gilligan's island episodes.
@@nolanboles8492 He appeared on Gilligan's Island four times as two different characters: as a Japanese sailor who didn't know the war was over and then twice as the evil scientist Dr. Boris Balinkoff. Those ones where he played Dr. Balinkoff were my favorite Gilligan's Island episodes when I was a kid. But, yeah, he was everywhere on TV in the late 60s and 70s. Get Smart!, Hogan's Heroes, McMillan & Wife.
@@parcivale Yeah, I liked the Dr. Balinkoff episodes too. He was rather cringeworthy as the stereotype Japanese sailor, but I enjoyed that one, too, as it gave Gilligan a rare chance to shine.
Vito Scotti was in 1 or 2 episodes,of Perry Mason 🤔.
Nazorine the baker was the first thing I thought of when I saw this.
'i'll take one of them'....haha who writes this gold.....
The tailor, is he the same guy as the undertaker in another Colombo episode? He is such an excellent actor and fun to watch
Yes, as Mr Grindell in episode "Swan Song"
He was also the restaurateur in the great Donald Pleasence wine enthusiast episode.
Vito Scotti. He was in 6 Columbo episodes, as a maitre d', tailor, funeral director, homeless bum, man giving speech, and bar owner.
He's been in everything. Great character actor
He was the waiter in "any old port in a storm"
I love the tailor. Always enjoy watching a person work who really knows their stuff.
Same pair that played the waiter and sommelier in "Any Port in the Storm" "Bowling league...$17.50 a ticket..."😂
Sometimes Columbo asks questions that seem sort of random and meandering, and innocent, even foolish-sounding, to the point the culprit gets annoyed and impatient. It turns out that he's really onto the crook, though it seems like he's lost and groping around aimlessly. Suddenly he'll pounce on the culprit who was thinking "this boob will never catch me." When this happens on Colombo it is very satisfying because the culprit doesn't only get caught, but sort of humiliated by thinking they outsmarted the lieitenant who was actually outsmarting the crook (and looking dumb) in the process, so it is the crook looking not just guilty, but dumber than they thought in the end. And there arrogance helps seal there fate. Best when that happens.
Yep, everyone knows that’s the ” formula” behind the show’s success. It’s very obvious. The show has has been around for over 30 years…
I think that some of the crooks are relieved when Columbo says the question he's about to ask has nothing to do with the case. ( Which of course, it does)
Brilliantly written
Gbless Peter falk rip 🙏
When the killer says he wants to fix himself a drink..
00:25
"Lieutenant, it'll be a comfort to know you're around."
Nothing could be further from the truth, when you're a murderer.
6:47 lol another scene where the main antagonist acts totally cartoonishly as a politician. They must have had lots of fun on the set of this episode
Yes there were some agendas woven in
The Columbo series was soooo good
"Nothing to do with the case"
Narrator: "It had everything to do with the case"
I think that half the dialogue between Peter and Vito was improvised. Lol
His comment on Columbo’s jacket - “It looks very functional “. That is a pure backhanded compliment worthy of a politician.
I absolutely cherish how much Columbo loves his wife. Adorable.
17.50 per couple in 1973 is worth 110 USD in today's money, which is... pretty steep.
Thanks. I was trying to guess that myself. I figured it was in the $80 to $100 range.
that customer tailor guy has to be the legend Vito Scotti.
I am just cringing at Columbo handling the fabric with a cigar in hand.
I love how Columbo lampoons snobbishness, and it’s limitations in appreciating the qualities of others.
Of all the investigator TV series, Columbo is definitely the best. Unmatched in style!
The only other investigator series that I love this much is Davinci's Inquest, but neither one could replace the other.
May I suggest... Burlington Coat Factory? Or maybe if you want to spend a little bit more, Nordstrom's Rack?
Rest in powerful peace Peter Falk 🙏

😢💯
Vito Scotti always outstanding.
4:00 He still has his cigar in his hand.
Vito Scotti is easily my favorite recurring guest star.
LMFAO BEWARE of a cop that questions you and says off the record and not pertaining to this case YOU'RE involved in...
A great performance by Vito Scotti who appeared in a few Columbos: from drunk bum to finest tailor!
interrogate without interrogating; search without search warrant.
Don't be rhetarted - Columbo would never do that. He was a nice cop.
I just realized-no one wears a raincoat in LA. It’s not the hottest part of the country. Maybe it’s his personal uniform, like a man wearing a hoodie every day regardless of temperature. I just can’t believe I didn’t notice this before.
Look up 'tenacious' in the Dictionary and you'll find Columbo's picture as the definition.
I enjoy how the killers always have a smooth answer for anything...which *only* peels another onion-layer of info for Columbo to weave into the scenario! (Yes, I realize I've described an "onion blanket," HaHa.)
$17.50 a couple - pretty steep
Also Chadwick’s is not only a professional tailor shop but also a hair salon.
I just watched another clip where he also asks a 'personal question' but about shoes! lol
For some reason Columbo holds our attention. I usually get rushed when they are talking a lot but Columbo just gets more interesting.
It's a theme of the show that Columbo asks questions that appears initially to be problematic for the suspect. Then upon asking the question, the suspect has a very reasonable answer to the question. Columbo often says so himself. Yet, it's all a set up to make the audience realize that he knows who the killer is. But as a detective, the question leads to a dead end so that should end his suspicion but of course it never does.
The obvious explanation is that it's all for the drama, the building of suspense to keep questioning the suspect so as to throw them off guard or rankle them enough to make a mistake or admission that will compromise them.
But it also serves to signal to the suspect that he knows who done it. All the while Columbo insists that he's just checking things out and his questions are merely routine.
It all leads to a "gotcha" moment at the end that we are all waiting for. That's the real fun of the show of course and the part I like the best. The unassuming, underestimated person is in reality the smartest person in the room.
Columbo, " $17.50 a couple "
“Jacket: Soft as butter.”
3:36. I love that mess up and how they kept going. I wonder who messed up their lines. It seemed like Peter Falk came in too soon.
This episode and this scene in particular is gold. Definitely in the Columbo Top 10.
A Columbo episode without a murder mystery just kinda feels like a comedy
..i love Columbo..
It just occured to me what Columbos' slow speed to go about things does to busy people who are used to go straight towards a goal. They feel the urge to fill the void that spans between Columbos' and their own speed. And this is not always a good idea...
This jacket salesman also tried to sell Colombo a gravestone plan in the episode with Johnny Cash.
"Oh, SPLENdid, an AFFair."
1:45
what a world class and wonderful conversation-world class and five stars dialogue and acting
i love how Columbo always wants a explanation on everything .......the killer just needs to say i don't know and that's it ..... Columbo would have nothing lol
It's the killers who are always anxious to explain the discrepancies in their earlier explanations. This causes them to dig themselves in deeper into the trap laid by Columbo. Totally unlike anything that would happen in real life, but fun to watch.
It always amazes me how people with no experience of murder are able to come up with such complicated crimes.
@@nolanboles8492 It varies. Some people will over explain and over plan their lies, especially if the pressure is up. I only speak from experiance dealing with mundane things of course.
@@keirgomcginlay2044 It's true that lies tend to feed into each other and make it harder to justify your actions. That's why criminal suspects in some cases really need to not say anything, period, until they get the aid of a professional liar...um, I mean a lawyer to do the talking for them.
That entire scene with the tailor had to be improved to a certain extent. The way Columbo and the tailor kinda run over each other's lines, and the thinly veiled frustration of the tailor, is really hilarious.
I happen to notice that this manager many years later took a job as a restaurant manager run by Jimmy Capp. Chili Palmers jacket he gave away to Ray Barboni.
picture quality always good on columbo
For me this was just an average Columbo episode of the 1970's. I remember Jackie Cooper mainly as Perry White who ran the Daily Planet newspaper in the original superman movies with Cristopher Reeve. That was where I first saw him before I ever saw him play a Columbo murderer.
How much?
$200
No, just the jacket.
lol
Kind of like at the jewelry store when he needed a watchband, the lady showed him one for 35 bucks and he said, No not a new watch just a band.
We should all take a moment to recognize the great Vito Scotti playing the tailor. I remember seeing this man in everything. Lol. From Gilligan’s Island to Hogan’s Hero’s to Columbo!
A series with superb acting throughout it; in the first 7 years.
"17.50 a couple" LOL!!!!
Vito was my favorite of the recurring players in the 70s "Columbo", though I like his "bum" from "Negative Reaction" better :)
I liked his portrayal of the maître d' in "Any Old Port in a Storm". He and the wine steward tasting the overheated "iodine" as Peter, Donald and Julie leave the scene are hilarious.
also Val Avery.
That Tailor, actor almost gets sick saying. "Dept. store" He steals every scene, and the helpful tailor asst. is hilarious too.
The tailor (name?) was in a bunch of these. So fun to watch and hysterical AND talented.
No matter the time, all the ice in every ice bucket is fresh and fully frozen.. even when coming home from a long day at the office.
Hahaha I always thought about that. Happens in many episodes, such as as Frame for murder
He looks so strange without the overcoat on lol
I keep thinking about how he used his puppet in Twilight Zone.
Oh how fun! So happy to see a new episode. Here's a fun fact or a little tidbit (I know you like tidbits), the maitre d played by Vito Scotti was also in Candidate For Crime. He was Chadwick the suite maker/tailor.
I diddnt know camels wore jackets…
No. The camels don't wear the jackets. It's a camel's hair jacket. The camels' hair wear those jackets.
