Colombo always gets his man or woman!

I grew up in the 90's. When I saw this room, the 4 post bed, the color scheme, furniture, even the lights on the mirror. It's a time capsule of 90's interior design. Obviously this is a mansion and surrounded by money so the implication is that every choice was intentional and very much in keeping with the style of the time. The way the killer is dressed, his hair, all of it. And 1970's Columbo is just wandering around and doing his thing :) This show is nostalgic for me in so many ways. But 2 years ago I got Columbo on DVD and swiftly rewatched all of it. When we got here it was just another warm feeling. I love this show. And I love seeing how many others still do. Also the addition of Hector Salamanca was icing on the cake.

For those that don't know, this is from 'Columbo Cries Wolf', which is one of my all time favorite Columbo episodes. The episode has the distinction of being one of the few episodes in the series where Columbo shows up before the murder takes place, even moreso because the murder doesn't happen until the last act.

One of things that I like about this episode is the musical score. I'm not sure what it is, but there is something haunting, sad, yet beautiful at the same time regarding the music.

I loved how Ian Buchanan's Scottish accent came through; when he said the word "murder." This was in an earlier scene of this great episode. In this shown scene Columbo totally deconstructs the villains' machinations. But one of the villian's turns on the other in a novel twist to the Columbo formula.
