"they could have, but after they were dead...who turned the lights off?"
Bam that perfectly sums up how quickly and capable Columbo thinks and comes to his conclusions
She should have just confessed at that point. She knew the jig was now up.
reminds me of the situation around the death of the actor who played alfie in little rascals (yay youtube)
the shooter said he pulled a knife on him, but they found a knife that was still folded shut under the body and the shooter said he must've put it away...after he was shot in the groin and collapsed...hmm...that's some amazing fortitude and concentration. the police didn't follow up, i guess because they didn't have a columbo on the case. (the shooters son told them the story his father gave them wasn't true...and they ignored that too)
@@mm-yt8sf In real life most cops are actually quite incompetent
The grand bores were just, er, boring and evil.
"I do wish everyone would stop asking me that."
Wonderful!
Another example of the murderer assuming others are as corrupt as they are. She tried to frame her niece but she didn’t even know what the heck that valuable art was.
Yeah, I saw that too
What I love most about the shows is, in many cases, the murderer has this slow, gradually dawning realization that the dim cop in the rumpled raincoat is not so dim. And that they might not be as safe as they thought.
That's usually where they start trying to "shore up" their plan. And just like struggling in quicksand, it just makes them sink faster, because the more moving parts you add to a machine, the more likely something will break down or not work with your original idea.
I liked the episode where the chef is told the guy he ate dinner with was poisoned and runs right back to the murder scene.
Like the line from Sir Walter Scott's poem "Marmion":
-- "Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!"
In several episodes instead of directly proving the murderer guilty, Columbo proves that they are trying to cover up their guilt.
@@wizardsuth That's exactly what happened in the episode with Jackie Cooper, his last stunt trying to make himself look like the victim only implicated him in a fake "self-hit" that also proved the murder bullets were his. 😅
I find her the most dark & conniving of all the murderers - there aren't many where Columbo doesn't strike up a relationship in some way. Lytton is ruthless, cold and calculating.
Probably because she wanted to give him that nice replacement raincoat
@@slake9727 I can't think in this coat !
I love the line, “I do wish everyone would stop asking me that.”
Any line that is both applicable and different is interesting. That one works.
Yeah
....are we not gonna talk about the fact that Columbo COMBED HIS HAIR? To look more well-kept for the Watch Salesman?
No.
I almost didn't recognize him!
Hahaha! That’s right!! LOL!
well-kempt*
ohh i did think something was odd in that scene but i just figured maybe this was from an episode when he was younger....and i didn't realize he looked normal in other scenes...so i guess i shouldn't apply for a detective job 🙂
I know some people aren't a big fan of this episode, but I like it. I'm always so moved when she asks Columbo if she can take his arm as they walk out of the room together at the end. She knew she was done for, but she was going to leave in her own way, and on her own terms.
Agreed.
Not a big fan? You got that right!!! This is one of the most boring episodes ever.
It is, honestly, one of my very favorite episodes. Columbo and Miss Litton are well matched. I also think Columbo likes Miss Litton.
one of the saddest parts is that the aunt was really her mother the whole time. the constant pain of having to lie to your own daughter because of a terrible family.
Yeah, but then the mother framed the daughter for the murder, or at least for the burglary. One of my favorite episodes love Joyce Van Patten, but Miss Linton gets none of my sympathy
I didn't get that very well...Is she really her daughter ? Why wouldn't anyone tell Janie ?
@@redaidrissi3236 it was the 1970s and with Janie being about 20 years old it means that she was born in the 1950s, and people just did not discuss acknowledge unwed Pregnancy at that time
@@lindaschulman1789 but when columbo visits Janie in prison he tells her that her « mother » was already pregnant before she even got involved with the father. So who’s the child ? That’s confusing lol
@@lindaschulman1789 not excusing her actions, just saying the situation is sad.
Tim O'Connor had a long life and a long career, lived to be 90 and was doing TV and movies for 60+ years.
There isn’t a crime investigation show as good as Columbo this days. If only they cared to make great show like that one.
Monk is pretty good too.
@@retroanim true
I do think Knives Out tried to encapsulate the idea of "we know who did it, but will they get away with it?"
@@retroanimlove me some Monk
There is a new show called Elspeth that has a Columbo-like feel.
Ruth "Janie, it wasn't true what he told you about my killing your father. Was it, lieutenant? You lied about that, didn't you? Tell her it wasn't true. Tell her. It was all such a long time ago it couldn't matter to anyone anymore. Only to Janie."
Columbo "Yes ma'am, it wasn't true. I lied about that."
Ruth "It won't be necessary to use the tapes as evidence, lieutenant."
Columbo "Yes, ma'am."
Ruth (calmly prepares to leave with Columbo, then pauses) "Lieutenant, may I take your arm?"
Columbo "It's my pleasure, Miss Lytton."
I remember when she also played a nun and mistook Columbo for a homeless man 🤣Very good actor - also the drunk witness was a great actor too. On of my favorite scenes that.
Yes, Joyce Van Patten is an excellent actress. I love that nun episode, too. Lol.
I think the drunk you mean was played by Vito Scotti, a regular in the Columbo stock company and a wonderful player.
Oh ... that coat !
@@MarkMcCluney Yes that's him. For some reason his scene sticks in my mind - his mannerisms and humor. Plus Columbo laughs twice in the whole scene and the laugh seems genuine as both times are partially off camera. We rarely see Columbo laugh - smile yes - but laugh is rare. I'm sure the William Shatner camcorder laugh is a real laugh too.
@pressureworks LOL! Yes. Her assessment of his coat was correct. But he just LOVED the old thing.
That watch salesman seems a very nice guy. I'd buy from him.
Him seeing thr tag on her coat and caling it endearing is the best summation of Columbo. He sees these killers for what they are, regular people. Complicated, conflicting, and human.
😮
That woman is creepy AF. Even if I didn't see her kill somebody I would think she killed somebody.
Exactly, had a guy who worked at the local cemetery as a customer late 80s, he looked cold 🥶 and strange, scare the hell right outta ya ,😅 forget about it
I love it when he went to a fancy salon instead of his regular barber and he hated his hair cut, lol.
It always the littlest simple things that gets these murderers caught. Details matter!
LOL . . . the public phone booth!
I love the interior sets of Columbo.
Tim O'connor, Dr Elias Huer in "Buck Rogers in the 25th century"
I love the scene with the jeweler and Columbo's watch - I remember WAY back around 1968 or so (I was just into my teens) when I bought my first Timex watch with the 'perpetual' calendar display........every February and the months that had 30 days I had to manually wind ahead so the numerical display would read "1". It was just the norm back then! I spent countless nights late at night in bed staring at the luminous dial and listening to that barely audible beeping 'alarm'. Great memories!
Gotta love that bronze age, byzantine, golden belt buckle. No issues right there 😄
The question is - was it Bronze Age or Byzantine or neither? lol
@@ferocient And if Bronze Age, how do gold?
@@MrMyers758 they had gold stuff in the bronze age
Byzanz (Byzantion) existed already for about 1000 years before Emperor Constantin the Great renamed it to Constantinople and made it the new capital of the Roman Empire. There is a Bronze Age Byzanz.
@@MrMyers758 Take the Nebra sky disk as an example for a Bronze Age artifact with gold plating.
I always felt they wrote Columbo as being too pleasant towards the murderer in this particular episode. She was a complete psychopath who committed 2 premeditated murders without a hint of unease or remorse, in fact she even seemed to take some pleasure out of it.
Easily one of the most evil, sadistic killers on the show (unlike many of them who kill in the moment, or are being blackmailed, abused, etc).
when he's leaning over the body the other guy's face is so close to his...and i thought he was going to get burned by the cigar or at least cringe from smokers breath, but he seemed to be completely at ease...
Van Patten was so good as the kindly mission nun in Negative Reaction.
3:39 nice use of That music from Psycho.
A very underrated episode. Joyce Van Patten and Celeste Holm do a wonderful job. I've always liked Joyce's spunky styled characters. First noticed her in "The Odd Couple" series. Celeste Holm was always a looker. Even in her older age. My favorite scene is when Columbo and Ruth Litton were speaking about her marital status. I don't know what Columbo read about her but, he looked shocked when she said "old maid", and how the camera zoomed in on him. A tiny bit of levity. 😂 A really good episode all-in-all.
Is this how the murderer ended up becoming a nun? Was that her redemption arc? I'm really surprised Columbo would never recognise her. later on. It's not like he was in the habit of not noticing things.
It's not the same character. Many actors returned to Columbo in different roles.
Robert Culp's prison must have had a revolving door.
Was "habit" an intentional pun?
10:13 Nice eye trick. Only one eye is moving.
You gotta love the bandana wallpaper.
Wow. TWO murders in a row! I don't recall that happening, except for a gap between them in an episode... 🤔
There's an incongruence. The belt buckle is dated bronze age, but the old lady admonishes the girl for not knowing what is it despite being taught byzantine history. The byzantine empire rose in the early middle ages, millennia after the end of the bronze age.
This one is one of my favorite episodes, and arguably, I think the suspect is the most dangerous one Columbo ever faced. She could've killed him. Even if she'd have gotten caught, she might've done so out of sheer spite if Columbo didn't handle this properly.
She should have given both of the victims night vision goggles.
RIP dude's eardrums after firing a gun in a phone booth.......
Van Patton is still alive!
I love the old TV shows cop forensics.
Writer: The body is in a phone booth? How do I show everyone how serious the cops and Collumbo are taking this case.
Director: I got it. Let's put all the cops that showed up to the crime scene in the phone booth with the body! Then Collumbo can smoke his cigar while laying on the body to do "forensics".
He isn't smoking it. Many cigar smokers will leave the cigar in their mouths when they go out.
It's a cigar smoker thing. If you know you know.
What sure shot she is!
Schaeffer is supposed to have turned his watch forward at midnight. What if he happened to turn his watch before midnight? It's a possibility. And that Janie uses the buckle as an ashtray could just be a diversion on her part. Any lawyer would tear this to shreds in court.
Why not show the whole reveal ??
Of course, in the scenario as it is presented, there would be no powder residue on the hands of either victim. It wouldn't have taken Columbo to figure out that something was off.
That's actually the charm of this show. Forensics take a backseat, and I think there's even one episode later when testing for residue is some newfangled thing forensics came up with. We live an era where tv detectives are all about intimidating perps or using so much science even a dullard would spot the murderer. Watching Columbo brings you back to an era of cat and mouse game between very human characters.
Another one of the many episodes where the murderer does the #1 thing a murderer should never do when talking to an investigating detective: have a debate trying to prove why his theory is wrong.
She had to put up with Uncle Simon before this.
I have No secrets, only One 😅
Hilarious hair
🫡Colombo pesters you into telling on your yourself 👊🏾
He should have asked for half up front 😅
What a sniper she is!
I have never seen this episode. I will have to find it now Agreed she seems very cold
I've seen it, unfortunately.
God that haircut lol
Where's the ending?
i loved the fact that they showed that women can be ruthless murderers too.
Wheres my Gerty.
Its the buck rodgers guy.
OH YEAH ,
**********
man, could you imagine all the negative reviews the kids would leave these days if they bought a calendar watch and then found out they'd have to set it every month.
They wouldn't be able to read it
@@michaelstone3069 valid point. 😂
@@michaelstone3069 I know what you mean. I cannot believe how many young kids and even young adults were never shown how to read a clock. Very odd.
The niece is Elaine May's daughter.
Checkin on his fine new hair in the mirror 😎
Gerty
😮
Oh you can’t upload that as the episode and not include her confessing!
The episode never included her confession.
Who does she represent?
Watch it at 2x speed and it's all done in 6 1/2 minutes!
What no ending.
It's OK, you didn't miss a thing.
Please don't go crazy with the ad breaks - only a 3 min gap in between them is unreasonable, and encourages people to either not watch your channel or use an adblock (in both cases, that would reduce your revenue).
Is that the channels fault or just CZcams themselves serving them up. My solution is to download the clip to my PC and watch it offline and with no ads.
@@patrickjohnson5658 it's channel . Automatic adds added at beginning and end and user can add more if they want.
why couldn't the lights be off and someone had a flashlight?
If they did have a flashlight, it would still be on one of the bodies.
26th!😅
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wheres my Gerty?
This episode is decent, but it gets a little slow and boring
Maybe Starsky and Hutch was more your thing then.
It is good, but overall it is a less than capital episode.
@@robin231176 No not at all. I love "Columbo" and have seen many many episodes. This one is just meh
It's dreadful, probably one of the worst episodes. And I say that as a diehard fan.
Is it just me, or is the security guard the worst actor in the history of acting?
Is it me, or is this one of the most boring episodes ever?
Second!
1st comment lol
The actress who portrays Miss Lytton is a terrible actress!
Those hairstyles were ridiculous. Almost as bad as mullets. Made in america, of course, too bad nothing else is except weapons and war.
what a ridiculous comment on a video of a show made in america.
@@TheJacklikesvideosnot just that but the hairstyles were everywhere, not just America.
Those coiffures were global.
A silly remark, really. A great many good things came out of the U S A, but being a world power there would inevitably be some entanglements in war. Being British, I’m very glad there was American involvement in WW2, otherwise, as they say, I’d be speaking German now, and I never could get the hang of their irregular verbs !
Unplug the fukking technology and lets live a normal life Hollywood is Satanic
Why on the ship assassination was important the powder marks on the gloves, but here that the killed guy got none, it was not checked and was not important? That would have ruled out that he was the assassin of the curator. And about the curator... did he go to work with a gun? lol
