Columbo notices more in a sleep-deprived state than the cops around him who had a decent night's sleep. I love the reference to the wife. All the nuggets of information he drops about her make her sound so interesting. She's the most well-written character that we never actually see.
And I'm not sure whether most people appreciate the little nuggets he drops about how he treats (and clearly, loves) his wife. E.g. "Four o'clock in the morning, my wife wants to watch Bette Davis. So, we're watching Bette Davis..."
He's one of those special '70s actors who always played a character that gave one the Heeby-Jeebies. But he did it so well, that he made the show work, often in the favor of the 'good guys like Columbo. It is a testement to him that he was one of the actors selected as one of Colombo's quarry.
"It takes a great actor to play a shitty actor pretending to be upset." -- does it though ? because it would be indiscernible from simply a shitty actor pretending to be upset.
I like the part where the cop balances a handgun on the end of a pencil then points it point-blank in columbo's face while the pencil is resting on the trigger.
I got into a text argument with a guy recently about Colombo. He didn't understand that Colombo could have a conversation with a suspect about two different things at the same time... but the suspect didn't realise. That was the brilliance of the writing.
Great point. Also, I really enjoyed the few times Columbo got pissed off, it was just great to watch Peter Falk's range. Even when his character was upset though, he still seemed very in control at all times, and thats a testament to brilliant acting
@@RDSports5 one of my favorites was when Leonard Nymoy played the heart surgeon, and he actually laughed at Columbo, up until he slammed I think it was a clock down on the desk, and asked him what was so funny, I had never seen Columbo that angry, and yet he still kept it together, wiped the smirk right off the good Doctor’s face
@@TJay41 Might be my favorite episode, great call. He slammed the coffee carafe. It was a brilliant scene by Peter Falk, and just a master class back and forth from him and Leonard Nimoy in that episode 👍
Jack did a nice job portraying a bad liar, Greenleaf. His other criminal encounters with the Columbo, his characters seem smoother and a bit more clever.
Columbo figures out who's guilty 15 minutes into the crime, clamps down on their pants leg like a pit bull and NEVER lets go till the sergeant takes them to jail.
It's fun to see Paul Shenar as Sgt. Young, a character who's really a budding first-rate detective, that directly helps Lt. Columbo, unlike Sgt. Willson (played by Bob Dishy), who largely helps Columbo as a result of fortuitous accidents. Paul Shenar would be immortalized for his brilliant portrayal as Bolivian drug lord Alejandro Sosa, in Scarface (1983).
While I was just casually watching this in the background, I instantly perked up 3:08 when I heard the unmistakable voice of James B. Sikking. He went on to do some impressive supporting parts in films like Outland, Star Trek III, and Narrow Margin, and played Lt. Howard Hunter for the entire run of Hill Street Blues-a very good actor who stayed under the radar for most of his career.
Yes, another always-working actor of the day. He was 40 years old here and that seven-year recurring role in HSB was a real break. Plus, he's still alive (as of this writing in 2022.)
Jack Cassidy did such an amazing job in his three appearances during this series’ run, but his best performance was Santini in season 5. Remarkable actor taken well before his time. He and Peter Falk had a great rivalrous chemistry. May they both rest in peace.
Yes, Jack Cassidy, father of David Cassidy, excellent actor. Always enjoyed his acting, sinister at times, and 'smirks' on occasion. Thoroughly adore Mr. Peter Falk, our Columbo. 😉
That's Ted Gehring who, as you noted, was working constantly from the mid 60's through the 80's with hundreds of appearances in many shows. He did have a few recurring roles within some series such as "The Family Holvak" (as "Chester Purdle,") "Days of Our Lives" (as "Sid Forbes,") and "Alice" (as "Charlie.") He was 44 years old here and died in 2000 at age 71.
I can't understand why Colombo doesn't recognise 'the great Santini' After all he has arrested him for murder previously. Santini must have changed his identity. Maybe Colombo doesn't remember him due sleep deprivation. Colombo has been up all night watching a Betty Davies movie.
Well, when he saw The Great Santini, he immediately pegged him as his prime suspect even though he seemed to have an iron clad alibi, so if anything he's on the ball.
He also didn't recognize Robert Culp and Patrick McGoohan. Even though Patrick McGoohan would have been harder to be recognized because he looked completely different in all of the four episodes he played in.
@@realenglishman580 An in at least one of those episodes he disguised himself as an old man (though, who ended up looking very much like "old Patrick McGoohan)
For those who don't know Jack Cassidy was David Cassidy's dad and if you wondered where David got his singing voice from look Jack up, he had a fine voice.
@@jamesdewane1642 Not really a comedy moment. You're reading too much into it. A director and actors who have no idea about firearms safety staging a scene. Really don't think they were mining comedy gold in a murder mystery.
What if Columbo just kept silently staring at Greenleaf, who in response to the pressure kept talking and eventually confessed - only for Columbo to say, "sorry, I haven't slept right recently, I was staring off into space again" before arresting Greenleaf
when I’m home sick my go to for back to back viewing our Colombo little house on the Prairie Bob Ross, Joy painting the Andy Griffith show gunsmoke or Mission impossible the old series
There’s one thing about these murders that always bothers me. Greenleaf thought that his alibi was ironclad, and flew in the face of his lawyer’s suggestions in order to provide it. Why? Why do this murderers always shy away from bringing in lawyers? Ego, probably. They think they can handle it themselves.
The other detective played Alejandro Sosa in the Scarface remake with Al pacino, he was a good actor.. Sadly he died a few years after Scarface in 1989.
@ Maybe the director's style then. I imagine that the Columbo character stayed more consistent later because director's weren't allowed to showboat it for their own personal ends.
Another extremely bad lawyer in the Columbo series. Instead of telling his client "Do not answer any question, do not make any statement. I insist", he says "You don't have to answer that question". Ridiculous 😆
@@earlsmith7428 A lawyer who is worth a sht will save you from yourself. In my childhood I watched my lawyer dad jump down people's throats to shut them up almost every week (or so it seemed). Most people don't realize that cops are specialized professionals whose job it is to get people to incriminate themselves. Your lawyer is your specialized professional whose job it is to keep you away from incriminating yourself, among other things.

It's that important to say nothing, and the mouthier you are, the more you need a lawyer who will stop at nothing to shut you the eff up.

I'm half Italian and half Polish , and growing up I had 3 heroes on TV : Thomas Banacek , Carl Kolchak and Lieutenant Columbo ... good times .... good times ...
This was from 1973 and I was surprised when Columbo said he was up at 4am to watch a Betty Davis movie. I thought TV stations signed off for the night, and 24 hour stations were rare. Even NBC in 1974 signed off at 2am after the Tomorrow Show had ended.
In the 70s TV was growing and they didn't have enough new shows so they played old movies at least in NYC where we had 7 stations. There was the late show at night and the late late show. The days I was young but I remember the morning movies. The afternoon movies. My mother left the TV on so when I came in from playing with all of the kids on my block I would watch part of the movies. I remember watching the Wolfman 1941. Invasion of the Bodysnatchers 1956. Blondie and Dagwood movies. Them! 1956 with the giant ants and my favorite the Bad Seed 1955. My mother told me when I asked about a movie it was the Postman Always Rings Twice 1946 with Lana Turner and John Garfield. And they played all of the silly 60s TV shows. I Dream of Jeannie. Bewitched. Gilligan's Island. Munsters, etc. And I Love Lucy. On Sundays it was Abbott and Costello followed by a 1930s gangster movie. It changed in the 80s. Stupid talk shows instead of movies. By 89 or 90 they totally changed the stations channel 9 and 11 and 5 was Fox. I wish it was the early 70s now.
@@keythdanielsen5533 it is. But Jack was also a living wreck of a man, his legacy obviously affected David. Hollywood is HELL on children in the business. It's rather a miracle if they make it to adulthood intact. Shawn pays tribute to his brother on stage..it's worth looking up. ❤
3:11 "Lieutenant, we found this in the basement corridor." "This gun?" "Yes." "That was fired, meaning it's probably still loaded, and that you're holding with a pencil that's touching its trigger? The gun that you're pointing at my chest?" "Yes, sir." "Good work. Let me crouch a bit, so that it doesn't point at my chest anymore but my face."
And the other guy too. Walking across the room with it, opening and closing a door, down some steps, outer door, maybe running into people excited by all the activity but tired or disoriented from interrupted sleep or a long day, opening his car door, good thing seat belt laws weren't a thing ant least, driving! but cop cars usually have automatic transmissions thank god
Greenleaf incriminated himself with a look just after hearing the gunshot on the recording. Instead of a look of surprise on his face it was a look that said "how on earth did you get that recording?"
Someone mentions coffee. Columbo then inquires about the availability of coffee. The man says " it's probably cold by now ". This was just before the advent of microwave ovens.
"My client's being held like a common criminal and I want to know why."
"Well sir, he's being played by Jack Cassidy, so there's a good chance he did it."

Lawyer needs to amend that don't have to. Absolutely should not have at all.
Greenleaf was trying to impress his innocence on to Columbo. Why would a guilty man admit that? Pure psychological manipulation.
He was proud of the alibi he'd spent all night setting up, he just had to tell someone about it.
@@FFKonoko that's not how our justice system works bud, some cops don't go for what's correct, or you can fumble your words and implicate yourself in something you didn't actually do, we have these rights for a reason

@@sheltr9735 Yep. And in 'A Stitch in Crime' he is a mess because he stayed up all night with her because she had the stomach flu.

And Robert Culp! 😂
And Patrick McGoohan!!
😂😂😂
And William Shatner and George Hamilton !
They keep getting off on technicalities because nobody reads them their rights when they're arrested.
Jack Cassidy is so good, he can pull off trying to look like a bad actor when he's not.
When actors pull off acting they're acting, it is a joy to watch
Alot of comic actors can do that. E.g. Leslie Nielsen. In some respects even Richard Burton.
He's one of those special '70s actors who always played a character that gave one the Heeby-Jeebies.
But he did it so well, that he made the show work, often in the favor of the 'good guys like Columbo.
It is a testement to him that he was one of the actors selected as one of Colombo's quarry.
Is he hoppalong cassidy's son from a previous relasho ?
Richard Basehart and Honor Blackman did that in "Dagger Of The Mind".
Columbo is a different breed of talent smart, detail oriented & a deep thinker. I enjoy watching him break down the crime step by step.

His feigned shock and dismay at hearing about the death is as phony as it gets. Jack Cassidy does a great job pulling it off.
Very chill to watch Columbo solve a murder case.
When your lawyer advise you not to answer question you're not legally compeled to... just listen to him and don't.
Columbo could ask nose candy from Sosa. He is standing next to him!

Why do this murderers always shy away from bringing in lawyers? Ego, probably. They think they can handle it themselves.

Love the start. Just shows how methodical Columbo is. It's interesting though, as soon as he's alone the real Columbo comes out. You can feel it.
Columbo was in "pocket full of miracles" with Bette Davis and Glen Ford....a classic 🎥
I love the multiethnic nature of his casts
Those were the good old days every week we had a different series of the three of them
It was great
The security guard played some nice roles in The Rockford Files.
He was in an episode of MASH, also.
The other detective played Alejandro Sosa in the Scarface remake with Al pacino, he was a good actor.. Sadly he died a few years after Scarface in 1989.
James B Sikking, after he resigned from being a hit man (Point Blank), before he moved to Chicago to lead the Hill St Swat team.
Even a sleep deprived Columbo could solve more cases the Lt, Drebin
That sound after the gun shot was the window blinds rattling. I suppose. I'd like to see the rest of the show.

Great actor Columbo ❤❤❤❤
Peter Falk was one of the most attractive, wonderful men in the world. 💕
I agree that his handsomeness is underrated. He also just had a very friendly looking face, and that made you root for Columbo even more
@@RDSports5 He was not just handsome, he was completely, beautifully male. And a sweet guy.
@@susiem.5609 True
Columbo askes you a question you better start running right now . not later but now
Columbo was the best 👍🇬🇧
David Cassidy's face is so evident in Jack's here.
So sad he shortened his life with alcohol abuse (something you never hear about the Irish, is it. Like about half my family).
@@keythdanielsen5533 it is. But Jack was also a living wreck of a man, his legacy obviously affected David. Hollywood is HELL on children in the business. It's rather a miracle if they make it to adulthood intact. Shawn pays tribute to his brother on stage..it's worth looking up. ❤
@@kathyflorcruz552 Sad that they both suffered from alcohol abuse. And the way Jack died was awful
3:09 Captain Styles of the Excelsior going back in time to prevent corruption of the timeline.
8:54 those steely I-know-you-did-it eyes
6:41 Drinking and driving? Was this common back then?
It's still very common. Just not as commonly ignored and overlooked.
It was common then, it’s common now.
3:11 "Lieutenant, we found this in the basement corridor."
"This gun?"
"Yes."
"That was fired, meaning it's probably still loaded, and that you're holding with a pencil that's touching its trigger? The gun that you're pointing at my chest?"
"Yes, sir."
"Good work. Let me crouch a bit, so that it doesn't point at my chest anymore but my face."
Was thinking the same thing
And the other guy too. Walking across the room with it, opening and closing a door, down some steps, outer door, maybe running into people excited by all the activity but tired or disoriented from interrupted sleep or a long day, opening his car door, good thing seat belt laws weren't a thing ant least, driving! but cop cars usually have automatic transmissions thank god
Peter Falk was fantastic as Columbo.
Security officer>
“ you think I’m some kind of nut” ! 😂
Also, the victim was played by the famous crime novelist Mickey Spillane.
I went for a drive.. I'd had a lot to drink.
'70s catchphrase
I don't think I've seen this one. I'm looking forward to watching it!
0:58 colombo said "fuggedaboutit"
0:11 Doesn't that guy carrying out the body look like a really young, taller Peter Falk?
It's nice to see Alejandro Sosa wasn't always a merciless druglord haha
dont uck me Tony . . .
Columbo should have more respect for Mr. Alejandro Sosa=Paul Shenar....
Anyone notice how peter falk wide awake when coffee is mentioned lol
At least there's a lawyer present in this episode... 😆
Don’t mess with Mr Sosa
4:26 I don't know about you, but I always find coffee tastes better out of plastic or polystyrene cups for some reason.
Greenleaf incriminated himself with a look just after hearing the gunshot on the recording. Instead of a look of surprise on his face it was a look that said "how on earth did you get that recording?"
Hey, that’s Sosa from Scarface🤩
Since When did Sosa from Scarface worked as a cop 😂
Notice alec baldwin carrying the gurney?
Someone mentions coffee. Columbo then inquires about the availability of coffee. The man says " it's probably cold by now ". This was just before the advent of microwave ovens.
