Columbo plot

Every criminal makes the mistake of underestimating Lieutenant Columbo. He's a police inspector with an old crumpled raincoat, a cigar butt and a ramshackle Peugeot 403. He looks like an incompetent bumbler. But with his politeness and his much talk about his wife, he wrests a confession from even the most cunning murderer.

The third season features some of the best episodes. Every time it is fascinating to see how Columbo finds that one flaw in the near-perfect murder. The killer digs a pit for himself or allows himself to be entrapped. Sometimes he could get away with doing nothing. The fixed ingredients are present, but also original finds. A split screen and crosscutting are used to show simultaneous events. The detective work takes Columbo to various environments, from an election campaign to an institution for the gifted. It contains beautiful riddles and confrontations. The delivery of subliminal messages should be taken with a grain of salt.

Top actors such as Vincent Price, Vera Miles and Ida Lupino have a guest role. Celebrities like Johnny Cash and Mickey Spillane play a character that resembles themselves.

Favorite episodes: 1, 3, 6.
