This episode is a tough review for me. I feel like if given a longer running time this episode could have justified a 70 review. The setup was solid, the interactions with Columbo better than average, and the killer uniquely interesting. Columbo had a good investigation going, but I would have preferred more of the details be solved on screen. Some borderline misogynistic scenes also caused me to lower my review.

This one seems to come around on tv quite often. Bikels baddie is archetypal in his haughtiness and snobbery, a real pleasure to watch getting taken down.
