I like this because it shows a good example of Columbo using his method on the innocent and so 'clearing' them. He doesn't just guess who the murderer is at the start. If this guy lied about the ring, or contradicted what he already knew, then he COULD have been the killer. He had a motive. His honesty and answers removed him from Columbo's mental list.
@@yanni2112 Spock's wife? You mean in that episode where she connives for him to battle Kirk to the death, and he then admires her for her logic in the arrangement. i never knew what to make of the writing of that episode.
The lady waiting on Colombo is also the Blonde bimbo in “Greenhouse Jungle” episode...very interesting how Falk had actors and actresses in subsequent roles throughout both generations of the series. Thanks for the post.
'...grew old very slowly judged by the young men she found companienship...' That guy can more than just make jewellery made of glass, he can express himself also
@Daniel Johnston if you use an inflation calculator, 25 dollars in 1975 equals about 120 dollars today. I'd say that's a bit much for a watchband. Also, electronics are much more affordable today than they were back then. I wasn't alive then, but my parents bought a complete hifi set around that time. It cost like three months pay. Still, not to badmouth the 70s. I think industrial design reached its peak back then. We never got quite so close to perfect design again.
For a woman of 36...lol She must be a relic! Even just 30 years ago, people seemed to look and act a lot older. I remember watching a Dragnet episode when an "ederly guy" was beaten. He was 55...my age lol
Isn't that the woman from that twilight zone episode.. I think it was called room 22.. she said: "room for one more honey".. ? By far I think the scariest episode from the old show..
This scene shows conclusively that T'Pring got an operation to make herself look more human, time-teleported to 20th Century Los Angeles, and got a job in a jewelry store. Naturally, she renamed herself T'Bling and wore her hair over her ears ...
"Ohhh......seven jewels!" But it's also water proof and shock resistant! Talk about an uppity put-down. Even John Cameron Swayze would have been insulted!
1:45 I immediately recognized Mr. Wexler as Haarwood, the kindly old gentleman who revived the old theater and was the head of The Institute in the episode where George wore the costume of Henry VIII and was thought to be insane. 21 years apart and I picked him out.
0:36 Nice to see Tiger, from Hogans Hereos, moved to America, with Colonel Hogan, most likely. ps: she was also the last human on earth in: Demon With A Glass Hand !
I think "older" women look better these days because they're not lying about their age and making people think 36 looks old. Or whatever age they used to lie and say they were.
That's what she said, but from what I know about Spock's life with other Vulcans, I think she didn't want to marry a half-human Vulcan no matter how esteemed his family.
Most Timex watches were between 10 and 15 dollars but you could pay as much as you wanted to get exclusive features or jewels but a Timex told the time just as good
When I saw the actress Arlene Martel here I genuinely thought I was looking at a clip from the episode "Greenhouse Jungle". I have seen this episode "A Friend In Deed" in full about 6 months ago, but I don't remember this scene or Arlene Martel in it. I know she was also in the episode "Double Exposure" but barely recognisable because she was made up to look like an older woman in it.
Mr. Wexler never once claimed he was handsome and virile for a man of 72. He was merely intoning in the most delicate and diplomatic way the social stance and attitude of the 1970's, without actually making it his personal and biased proclamation.
The "poor cop" image is very much an American thing. Columbo drives around in a beater for a car, has rags for clothes, and seems to live an impoverished lifestyle. In Canada, cops earn six figure salaries (easily), have the best pension and benefits of any profession, and live in the wealthiest neighbourhoods. While American officers are quitting all over the country, Canada has always had to turn applicants away. Being a cop (in Canada) is one of the most difficult jobs to get. They only pick the very best.
I googled her. She did Columbo. She did a lot of TV characters on a lot of different shows in 60's & 70's. I remember her most from Hogan's Heroes as an underground contact. On Star Trek she was Mrs. Spock.
@@elizabethhenning778 $25 in '71 was a fortune to any 9 year old kid who made $1 an hour cutting Mr Wilson's lawn !! Even in 1981 i remember having to save $5 a week for 5 weeks to afford a ticket to see the Rolling Stones !
I am almost certain Mrs. Columbo was a senator, or a lawyer, or a district attorney working under her maiden name. I just can't imagine her as the simple house-wife Columbo makes her to be. As for him being cheap... it's part of his character. He obviously had humble beginnings, maybe grew up in a poor family, and all his mannerisms, his car, his coat, his polite way of speaking is him staying true to his roots. He considers himself a simple working man, just earning a decent living. While others take pride in their accomplishments and practically brag about them by displaying their succes in fancy suits, Columbo does the opposite, hiding his accomplishments and skills as well as he can. In his heart he is a simple man who became who he is by hard work. I am sure he worked very hard for his first car and that coat was all he could afford when he was a student... and he kept them and never changed them. Maybe in his head they are a symbol of honesty and decency. He has seen people change from decent men into murderers for "petty" motives like wealth too many times.
@macdonald tramp It is very seemly that they met during a crime investigation. Maybe the Mrs. was a suspect, or an accomplice, or witness. It woul fit Columbo's profile to arrest the future Mrs., than woo her in prison :)
Mr. Wexler didn't say that age 36 was old. He said that Mrs. Caldwell was very attractive for a woman of 36, but she "fancied herself growing old very slowly" given the substantially younger men she was dating.
@@jamesfeldman4234 He did so say that 36 is old. The rest of Wexler's comment was irrelevant. She can "fancy herself" all she wants. That changes nothing.
Thomas Headley But are we talking about gigilos here? Even if we are, a younger guy with an older woman isn't necessarily prostitution. Even if he accepts money and gifts. Benjamin Franklin gave ten reasons why a young guy should jump in the sack with an old broad. Look them up. Franklin was the original poon hound. A real swordsman. So yeah, I think we're still at "with"...
The old 1950s TVs were very small so they couldn’t hold a more than a 30 minute show so like this one they were all under the 30 minutes limit. The original Colombus was a stage play in 1951. It was turned into a TV play in 1961 with Bert Freed as Columbus, complete with a cigar, politeness, and forgetful manner. It wasn’t until 1957 that another pilot film was commissioned, with Peter Falk who really made it his own. Even then it wasn’t until 1961 that it was sold as a series on NBC where it aired once a month. Much later it was revived on ABC with occasional specials. The later ABC ones were strange for sure but usually lacked the quality of the original NBC shows. A couple though were better.
0:18 you can smoke in here, right?
"Of course you can, this is the 70's"
$25 in 1974 is equivalent to $128 today. No wonder Columbo thought she was quoting the price of a watch.
Agreed! A Rolex steel basic model was about that much.
$25 is still more than I would pay for a watchband. I could buy a watch much cheaper! Haha!
@@Meinstein where ? a Lego watch for children ?
I always liked the "I can see that it's glass" bit better^^ Such a classy reaction, by that Mr. Wexler Character 😂
Yes, although a real jeweller would 'see that it's glass' only examining it carefully with a loupe and other equipment, not just by a casual glance -- if it was a copy meant to look like the real thing.

When you're describing your opinion of a case and somebody asks what's your point, do you respond with "I'm not sure I have a point"?
Glad you grew up to be a detective just like Columbo! Congratulations 👏

I was wondering what the point of this clip was, since it didn't seem to do with the reveal, which I watched a few days ago.
Arlene Martel was lovely!!! She was featured in three episodes. 1. The Greenhouse Jungle 2. Double Exposure 3. A Friend in Deed
she was Spocks wife in Star trek also. plus the jeweler is the "talleywhacker" dude from Porkys!
...and terrifying generations of "Twilight Zone" viewers with the single phrase, "Room for one more, honey."

1:18 ohh youre so fancy and high society with your $25 watch bands, lady 🤣🤣
'Mr. Wexler is currently servicing a client' ☺
Indeed: the word she wanted was 'serving', but I suppose that was too 'ordinary'.
I love this scene, this actress is great.
It's Arlene Martel, she later married Spock. nano nano!
@@BillMorganChannel Mork
That reminds me, I need to get a new battery for my watch. But I'm not getting it from a jeweler, they charge an arm and a leg.
At least you get two hands in exchange.
Columbo's Wife's Cousin has a battery replacement service. He'll change it just for the cost of the battery.

he wasn't cheap; he was poor.
And we pay him...

Well, when women lied about their age, then a "36-year-old" woman might not have looked as good as they do now. Or any age.
2 things I learned:
1. a watch with 7 jewels is juink
2. a woman of 37 was considered old, at least in the 70s
Exactly
Let's appreciate Arlene Martel. She was really beautiful and an amazing actress.
fantastic fun bags.

Mr Wexler is free now if you'd care to see him.
In the 70's $25 was a lot , and to pay for a watch band, I would have passed as well.
5 dollars would be a high end band at that time
Isn't that the woman from that twilight zone episode.. I think it was called room 22.. she said: "room for one more honey".. ? By far I think the scariest episode from the old show..
3:42 - “ A woman of 36”
Poor aged, decrepit Mrs. Caldwell!!!
How old is old depends on one’s profession. Gymnasts are washed up by age 21; Chess masters by 35; but politicians are young at 50.
@@CandiceGoddard the odds of a 36 year old woman getting married are 1/4 of those of a 22 year old..and halves every 10 years
T'Pring from Star Trek!

I wouldn't pat that, either, and they're talking in '70s money!
That $8000 ring was the same cost of the Cadillacs her boyfriend sold.

To be 36 then was mature. They aged quicker in those days.
Older women are called "cougars", because they hang around the watering holes and pick off the weaklings.
I think "older" women look better these days because they're not lying about their age and making people think 36 looks old. Or whatever age they used to lie and say they were.

Companionship.
Yes, that's one word for it.
I am a long-time Colombo fan but isn’t anybody going to talk about that hot lady selling that watch band?
My favourite was Tricia O'Neil who played a dog trainer.
Spock’s betrothed in TOST, she played him like a fish, wanted the other Vulcan.
That's what she said, but from what I know about Spock's life with other Vulcans, I think she didn't want to marry a half-human Vulcan no matter how esteemed his family.
Yes please more full episodes. Every one is amazing
Those cheekbones🥰🥰🥰
Arlene Martel played a Female Russian Cosmonaut in an episode (Russian Roulette) in the first season of I Dream of Jeannie.
This song in the background sounds so familiar!!! Ugh, what is it??🤯
Hard to believe you could find a $25 dollar watch, even back then.
Well, $25 in 1974 would be about $138 in 2021. Minimum wage in some states was $1.60 in '74.

She's a good actress. She plays an air head in another episode. The one wherw the nephew was killed by the uncle. Fake kidnapping😳
I was just going to mention that lol. It was "The Greenhouse Jungle" episode with Ray Milan.
Yes, she was... Arlene Martel who's dead now only at 78. She best remembered as Spock's wife or fiancée in the episode of Amok Time.

@@blockmasterscott She's much more easily recognizable as Tiger on Hogan's Heroes.
Yes that's Arlene Martel. She also starred in a couple of Twilight Zone eps. "Room for one more, honey."
Except for this scene, there isn’t a lot of humor in this episode. It’s a very grim one overall, but one of my favorites.
Yes: corruption, bad marriages, and a general "I don't care" attitude.
Of all the people who shouldn't underestimate Columbo, you'd think the police commissioner (not in this scene) would be top of the list.
For a woman of 36.
She'd be in prime cougar territory in today's world. Not even a MILF.
36 is young for a judge, but it’s old for a gold digger.

The "poor cop" image is very much an American thing. Columbo drives around in a beater for a car, has rags for clothes, and seems to live an impoverished lifestyle.

The Lieutenant is so cheap, didn't he make very good money? Didn't Mrs Columbo work?
I don tthink Lt. Columbo would ever make Mrs. Columbo work. A Police Lt back then should have plenty to support them- but he was very frugal
$25.00 for a watch band in 1971 is the equivalent of $157.00 today. That’s not being cheap.
