Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Factual errors: In one of the several scenes in this movie featuring Columbo in his bar/restaurant hangout, we see him clearly dialing an 8 digit phone number. The only time he would be correctly doing this if he were dialling 1, followed by a 7 digit number (which we can see he is not). more
Quotes:
Columbo: My handwriting is so bad sometimes I think I should've been a doctor. more

This is my favourite Columbo of all time. Not only is it my favourite Columbo but it also stars one of my favourite actors in Donald Pleasence. Pleasence and Falk form a great chemistry the way they start to trifle around about making wine. At this point the viewer is treated to some of Columbo's best idiosyncratic traits that has made his character so famous. I was hoping that Pleasence and Falk would team up again for a second Columbo but my hopes came to an end when Mr.Pleasence passed away in 1995.
