    One of Columbo's traits is how fast he picks up on things (but acting like he doesn't understand). A couple of his suspects even complimented on how he's a quick learner at the latter half of episodes.

      In the first clip with the subliminal cuts, I think it was one of the other detectives at the station that gave Columbo the idea of using subliminal suggestion to catch his suspect. He was sick and tired of Columbo going on and on about a hidden gun in the killers office. So he says to Columbo along the lines of "You go to the suspect and ask him where he hid it"

    When I was undertaking detective training many years ago, one of the instructors, a Detective Sergeant of many years experience, claimed that Columbo was the most realistic police series ever. We all thought ‘what?’. Then he went not o explain that pretty much all police detective work was about asking questions, the right questions. And after many years of investigations I can honestly say - he was 100% correct. I even told a lecture theatre full of criminology students today the same thing. Of course, not many knew who Columbo was. Suffice to say, they do now.

    • @Domesthenes
      @Domesthenes 21 день назад +6

      I kind of wonder what a modern-day take on Columbo would look like. Who would you get to play him, would the show strive to be as accurate as this, and would there be more of a focus on "action" as opposed to the slow-burn of the original show?

    • @h3rpad3rpacifilis
      @h3rpad3rpacifilis 20 дней назад +6

      @Domesthenes I think all they have to do is keep it simple. Modern detectives always have some kind of superhuman gimmick, which is the complete opposite as to how Columbo operates. He's just a regular guy who has a lot of life experience, and very perceptive to emotional and social cues. The pacing is very slow for modern audiences for sure, but I think cutting it to around 20-30 minutes is very doable and all they really need, considering a lot of the time is spent kinda just poking and prodding the suspect's patience.

    • @chrisklecker
      @chrisklecker 17 дней назад +2

      I think it would still work even given the technology. Remember the show is about police work, not really a murder mystery. In the end, they can do what Law and Order does, just spin it for the Columbo universe. There are some episodes that especially work today like Murder Under Glass, How to Dial a Murder, Try and Catch Me, and so on. These episodes were not about anything technical, they were all about piecing together the puzzle.

    Columbo was such a good show that you not only had the murder answered up front, but even watching how he eventually catches them doesn't spoil it because it's all about the journey of watching a bedraggled good cop torment rich arrogant jerks.

    The thing nobody mentions is in some Columbo episodes the killer kills two people. In this case the killers main target and the projectionist who saw him disabling the CCTV monitor monitoring the lobby where the murder took place. If Columbo had investigated the murder of the projectionist as well he would have caught Culp without the need for final gotcha scene. Culp never used the calibration converter that he had hidden in the lamp after the first murder, when he shot and killed the film projectionist who was blackmailing him afterwards, and that bullet could be traced back to his gun by ballistics.

      @@gaslightgatekeepgaleboss Yes he did and he came prepared with a handkerchief to avoid leaving fingerprints on it. I only saw that scene after I made my original comment. How he knew in advance the projectionist kept a gun in his house, or that it would be clearly visible in an unlocked drawer is another mystery. My feeling is he had forgotten all about the converter in the lamp until Columbo's subliminal cuts of him looking around his office subconsciously reminded him of it and he became uneasy. He wasn't expecting Columbo would ever look for a gun or a calibration converter hidden in a lamp.

      Presumably because he didn't have time to dispose of it anywhere else as nobody was allowed to leave the building without being searched. In other episodes Columbo always seems to be there when killers are trying dispose of the evidence. Like the one where the old lady is trying to dispose of her murdered nephews car keys into the ocean but somehow Columbo appears right beside her.

    • @patrickjohnson5658
      @patrickjohnson5658 23 дня назад +1

      But he did try to remove it at that particular point in time. He had no idea Columbo was hiding in the darkness, or that he had made subliminal cuts in the movie he was watching of him looking around his office. In another episode where he ran a private detective agency, Columbo caught him searching his car for a contact lens that supposedly fell out of the the murder victims eye when he was driving with her body in the back of his car to dump it.

    • @gophersmith

      Columbo was looking for a gun not a converter. So it would seem to me it was not urgent that Culp removed the converter from the lamp with any haste, and it could have been safely left there until the lightbulb eventually burned out and needed to be changed.

    Also if the gun was fired there would be residue of burnt gunpowder all over the internals and externals (around the ejection port) of the gun. It has nothing to do with an "internal converter cylinder".

    I've seen these many times as I've had the series on box set(s) (each season on a different set), for years & they were shown on channel 5 in the U.K. on Sundays, for years on end. Even though you know exactly what goes down in each one (or maybe because of this), they're great for winding down with. Sometimes you notice new things, too.
    I noticed that the guy playing Milt at 9:34 , was also in an episode of Kojak around that same time period; he looked exactly the same. He played a blackmailer and had more screen time.
    At 21:32 , this actress goes on to play William Shatner's adopted daughter in the episode where Shatner's character murders her friend, who tries to help her ambitions as a writer.

    One of my favorite times when Columbo used the murderer's tricks against them was when that one murderer beat the victim to death over the course of several days, in kind of a no bells and whistles scenario, and so Columbo just did the same thing to them, seemingly taking a good amount of pleasure out of it and not letting them eat or go to the bathroom or nothing, and he's bleeding everywhere crying begging that he doesn't wanna die and he'll sign anything Columbo wants him to sign and then that detective Wilson character was like "gee sir I think this is a bit outside standard operating procedure, and the fact that you picked this guy randomly out of a crowd has me worried this might be a false confession" and Columbo's like "I don't give a g** d*** about no false confessions son, I always get my f**** man, I don't care who it's gotta be, some son of a b** going down for this one way or another" and then he shoots the guy dead straight up. They end up not really getting the confession since Columbo kills him before he signs the confession but it's a cool revenge plot for the gumshoe detective
