Typical of busy character actors, Fiedler made his face (and voice) recognizable to millions. Fiedler knew he wanted to be an actor from his childhood days, when he had a full head of reddish-yellow hair. He made his first professional appearances onstage, branched out into live TV in New York and, then, during the 20 years he lived in Hollywood (1960-80), he turned up in many movies and an ever greater number of popular TV shows.

The positives are the character interactions, the comedy of Columbo waiting in line, and the refreshing feeling that Columbo might just lose this one. The problem is that Columbo never checked the victims stable, which he realistically would have done. That flaw highlights the omnipotent tunnel vision Columbo has towards his suspected killer in some episodes.

Falk-directed and you can see it in Columbo's performance-- a little more serious, a little less loopy. The villain's plot is smart, and the film does a good job of balancing how much he knows and what we don't know to make for an excellent denouement.

An interesting Columbo, worth a watch. Patrick O'Neal reminded me of James Stewart.
