This meant Columbo saw the holes within the alleged murderer's alibi. Columbo needed the alleged murderer's to clarify the alibi so Columbo could either clear the alleged murderer or catch the alleged murderer's lies.

When he says he can't get a handle on the case he's actually saying "I know you did it, I don't know how you did it... but I have a rough idea."

That fact that columbo comes back to the house around the same time when the murder took place and reenact the scene makes him the most brilliant detective to ever do it.

Columbo's little wry smile when he says" well you must have heard something..."

That look Columbo gives when the guy goes on his rant. He knows he did it.

Columbo knows he's got him. The little details and inconsistencies bother Columbo and you just know that he's already figured out how to finally get this guy.

When at the end of this clip when Columbo hears the killer’s excuse for why the door could have opened on its own, he turns his face away with a look of calm disgust and expectant incredulity.

Werner's alcoholism would kill him. His photos prior to his death in 1984, just 9 years after filming this episode, are almost unrecognizable.

The only time in the series that the detective ever fires a gun. But it's better than any action series

I love how Columbo knocks down every lie.

"Is the safety on or off!" It's like a mechanic saying, "Could you point the wheels out for me!"

"i don't like guns" i love that line reminds me when Columbo has to take a gun shooting test and doesn't everything he can to not take that test

In almost every episode there is a moment when Columbo knows he has his murderer- sometimes when he whistles sometimes with just a look 😗😉

LOL. I love how columbo visits suspects at night.

Oskar Werner was great here playing the murderer. I only wish he played the murderer in more Columbo episodes along with Roddy McDowell or Ross Martin who also only played the villain once.

According to those who were there, Oskar Werner was a raging alcoholic who gave the COLUMBO production team more trouble than any other guest actor. He threatened to quit, didn't show up to the set at times, and also threatened to leave the country during filming. The fact that they got the show done at all was, apparently, a miracle. This according to anecdotes of those who were there.

I saw the toy in the chair even though it was dark ... boo, Colombo.

The guy loses it when Columbo lays out the conflict in the guys timeline. Columbo's look on his face while the guy rants, is yeah, you are busted.

I really like this scene, for me, it shows - just for once - Columbo really stuck. He never brings an officer with him unless he's planning on arresting a suspect and here he thinks he has his man only for the suspect to wriggle his way out of it with a contrived but logical excuse. Great great writing!!!

If the noise came from outside why didn't the security guard hear and investigate it, not to mention her husband who was still in the house at the time? It would be an amazing coincidence if a noise came from outside her window loud enough enough to have opened her bedroom came around the same time her mother was shot. Detectives like Columbo are not to big on coincidences when it comes to murder.

After all his wife was sleeping upstairs and the shot could have awoken her and she could have checked the time, and it would not match the time when the security guard said he saw the shooting on the monitor, and her husband said he had left the house for the gallery.

Worth reading about this episode on IMDB trivia section.

The 4:3 aspect ratio of Peacock is incorrect. No bars should exist at the top and bottom, just the sides. To see how done correctly, view Columbo on Amazon Prime (however, Amazon Prime does not have latter episodes, and after the third season the episodes are not in HD).

@patrickjohnson5658

I remember on regular TV broadcasts years ago there were slight bars on the top and the bottom of the picture as well as on the sides. The solution was to set the ratio setting on the television set to 14:9 aspect ratio to eliminate the top and bottom bars and reduce the side bars width by half. If there was heavy bars on the top and bottom of the screen as well as the sides, then I would select "cinema zoom" to eliminate them.

If the picture is not in proportion to begin with 14:9 aspect zoom won't bring it into proportion.

The guard should have been observant enough to realise the shooting on his security monitor was just a video recording. The giveaway was that it had video dropouts typical of analogue video tape recordings of of the period. If it was just a live feed direct from the security camera it would not have any distortions or signal dropouts on it.

The door was automated to open in response to any loud enough sound. You can also get the opposite, fire doors that can close automatically if a fire alarm goes off.

If, as he claims, he doesn't like guns . . why didn't Columbo get the cop to shoot the gun ? . . and he could've gone up the stairs to do what the other cop did. THAT would've made more sense . . Don'tcha think ?

Not really. Maybe there was a clue at 2:53 where Columbo asks the suspect did he want to put his hand in his ears because the shot would be very loud, and he replies he can handle it. So that was a clue to Columbo maybe the reason he could handle it was because he used a gun before in the house and knew how loud the shot would be.

The suspect with the German accent is invariably guilty.

Lol he doesnt even close the door.

The bit with the revolver could have been a good line for emphasizing Columbo's deliberate lack of firearm use ~ All the officer had to say was: "It's a double-action revolver, Lieutenant, it doesn't have or need a safety."

I wonder if this channel has stopped uploading Columbo video clips? There hasn't been an upload of a new clip in over 2 weeks.

I have been wondering that too so I looked into it further. It is because Peacock, the new streaming service of NBCUniversal who also own the rights to Columbo, has only been launched since mid April this year in the US and is currently only available there due to broadcast rights issues. Using a VPN on your device to disguise which country you are in and make it look like you are in the US might work.

Gena Rowlands starred with Peter Falk in the film (A woman under the influence). She won the Oscar for her part. Peter Falk helped finance the John Cassavetes film with an injection of $500,000 of his personal money. The film received critical acclaim. The film is on KZread. Peter Falk is Great in it. Best of friends performing together. I have her autograph.

I'm not sure that this is the right answer, but the wife is bound to the wheelchair, and the reason why the murderer spends so much money is to make her life as simple as possible.
