One of the better Columbos I have seen - great to see Columbo surprised by the evidence and then playing off one culprit against the other.

A good investigation by post era Columbo standards.

Frankly, I wish we had Karl Mueller as Columbo's forensic sidekick for atleast a decade before this.

A weaker, later Columbo, a little padded out (2hrs) and dumbed down (10 mins of explanation at the end!) but still enjoyable.
