Trivia:
Steven Bochco originally wrote this script in 1973 for the third season but it was not made because Peter Falk felt the villain was not interesting enough. A few years later, Bochco used the story for a 1977 episode of "McMillan & Wife" (1971). Falk apparently changed his mind by the time this episode was filmed. moreGoofs:

I really hated this one. I am an avid Columbo fan and have seen all episodes so many times, but this one is a complete dud. The story line is so dull and the acting by all is so wooden that by the end you really couldn't care what happens.
Peter Falk looks completely disinterested throughout and this one is really a big disappointment. The finale is so ridiculous it was a wonder that they didn't all start laughing at the absurd conclusion. I doubt if there would be a jury in the land that would convict the killer on the very flimsy "evidence" of his guilt. I would not recommend wasting a minute on this.
