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.

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.
