'Perfect Murder'.... 'There's No Such thing as a Perfect Murder, that's just an Illusion'......
Columbo really knows how to add Salt to the wound.
That is the Reason why i love him 😂😂😂😂
LOL
Jack Cassidy and Peter Falk, what duo they make!
Jack Cassidy's personal life was a bit strange, but the Columbo episodes with him were possibly the best.
Absolutely perfect pair...excellent contrast
I like it when Columbo knows when to get backup due to the murderer being more aggressive then usual.
Is that a Neomorph you have for avatar ?
In case anyone cares the "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party" that Sgt. Wilson typed was a common exercise for typing class. A more modern one being "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." which is used because it uses all the letters on an English keyboard.
Cool factoid, thanks.
@Jill Sweeney interesting, thanks.
I wonder if the reason it was replaced was because the first missive doesn't include the letter "z" or "x" Whereas the second has every letter of the alphabet in it at least once.
🤯
For the current generation: Yes, there is actually a thing call typing class that uses all five fingers of each hand.
Jack Cassidy, still one of the finest villains on the screen. Taken from us way too early....
He had STAR quality. A pity that his bipolar disorder contributed so to his professional decline and early death

@Angie H. Angie, Angie, Angie. When someone says: 'You're Bricking it', any idea what that means?
@Angie H. If anyone says 'You're Bricking it'. Do you know what that means?
Someone said that to me. Because 'brick' is a noun, hard to work out the context.
@Angie H. Angie, Angie, Angie. I thought you of all people, would be able to work out that phrase. What, with your interminable command of the English language, and all. It certainly has me stumped...
"just one more thing, sir..." Columbo then proceeded to grow several arms, all producing copies of the same letter from unknown places. some say he is still there, growing more arms and producing more letters.
"Just one more thing... FEAR NOT"
Cassidy did this role perfectly- he was really a great actor 👏
I think he took classes with a magician before shooting this episode,look at his posture and his gestures,he really incorporated the magician in this character,and this is what made him a great actor,he studied what a magician does quite well !!!
@@mkassis713 - Yes I agree - he was perfect in his Columbo roles - a great actor that deserved more roles, I’m not sure why he didn’t get the credit he deserved.
@@ssnoc I agree with your opinion,lots of very talented people are underrated actors,musicians,and so on.Not fair !!! It's too bad he died so prematurely as well.
@@mkassis713 Yes - you are right he did study with a magician prior to shooting, but he said he didn’t have enough time, so they had to use more pre-fab tricks then he liked - it all worked perfectly.
@@ssnoc I thought he learned something from a person in the magic business,even if he didn't have enough time to learn more,he did perform beautifully.
"you can see it", as he points at his glass eye. Ah, Mr. Falk, what a treasure you were
@Angie H. Thanketh thee. I taketh thy w'rds to heart
LOOL. I love the final gotcha tricks of Lt. Columbo..... Note- this bad guy wasn't totally bad, he was trying to give his daughter I believe, a better life.
@Angie H. Why would you write a business email style comment teaching the dude proper english. Bruh
@@samthebagman4643 She did that to me as well LOL,I told her she would make a good book editor.
@@mkassis713 definitely
Early episodes Columbo before 1978 are much better than latter episodes.
Yeah, the second series is cheap and caricature.
So true!
@Angie H. no matter
For Sho on that..
disagree
At the end, the music is Henry Mancini's song "Charade", made for the 1963 movie of the same name. A fitting song for the episode as well as a nice gesture to Mancini as he certainly got paid for that one.
It's a beautiful song, do you know where to find this version of it? I've only been able to find some sped-up takes with spaghetti-western guitar
I trying to remember the movie it was from. I knew I'd find the answer in comments!
Thanks for that! I was thinking something...'serenade'...I never would have remembered it!
I like that this clip is simply titled, "Columbo." Even if it was a mistake, this is simply Columbo at his finest, being Columbo.
Sergeant Wilson is a lot more humble this time around.
But still very useful to Colombo.
wilson was never arrogant. he was just a bit brash and ambitious. more than understandable from a young officer. healthy i would say, it denotes character and passion for his work.
@@regalecusglesne3022 Well, he definately dialed back his tendency to show off.
Maybe it's like Columbus implied, he got married.
Poor Jack died not long after this . . .
Really ??? That’s sooo sad 😢😢😢
Yeah, it was like 9 months I think. Really something. There's a couple websites that go into a bit of detail about the whole thing.
He burned to death in his apartment, the he fell asleep with a lit cigarette
This was the second & last appearance by Bob Dishy as Sgt Wilson with his first being in The Greenhouse Jungle. Good episode.
The smugness of Santini, even after when he knows he's done for that defiant look he gives Columbo before Columbo says 'Officer' and Santini's turning his head as the officer was about to touch his shoulder, nobody did arrogance and defiance like Cassidy and Mcgoohan.
This is my favourite episode, utterly entertaining.
Same as me in my top 5
Jack Cassidy was one of the best Columbo villains!!! 👍
Even the best, after Culp of course !
I liked Nicol Williamson too, he's definitely up there with Cassidy and Culp
Columbo, you’re the best.
He’s a legend
This is one of my favorites!! Jack Cassidy played an excellent role!!
I miss the Columbo TV series, along with its time period, the 1970's.
I was born in 1960, yes, good times in the seventies.
Aahhh...the 1970's...the absolute best decade of my life!
I certainly don't miss those lapels.
I don’t miss Columbo at all…..I watch episodes every Sunday on Channel 5😊.
@@rezathenightfly In retrospect, mine two. The late 60s were good, but the eighties onwards - forget it. I'm British and I'd like to be back in the long hot summer of 1976
Sadly, after this episode aired in 1976, Jack Cassidy would later pass away in December of 1976. The cause was smoking after the authorities concluded that they had found a burnt cigarette next to a couch he was resting/sleeping on..
This is easily one of my favourite episodes. Cassidy and Falk have fantastic character chemistry and their interactions are always a joy to watch. Between the "I knew you could do it" scene with the cuffs and this final showdown, there are too many good scenes to choose from.
Even the final thirty seconds hit hard. The score perfectly frames the scene as Santini is taken away. We see the sad look on his face as he glances around the room one last time, knowing that he'll never return. It leaves this very somber feeling that I just can't shake. Top notch Columbo all around.
I would have been more Sherlock Holmes than Columbo in a case like this. The Great Santini was being blackmailed by a man who looked like a mobster. Holmes, in a case like that, would probably have given him time to get away before he told Lestrange.
@@alangiles2763 I mean, blackmail is distasteful, but a former Nazi war criminal doesn't get a lot of sympathy from me...
Columbo still going strong in 2021 on metv n cozi TV.may they all R I.P.
Streaming on Amazon and other’s.
I know it was for dramatic effect, but when Santini destroys the first copy of the letter that the Lt hands him, they never explain why it was printed on flash paper.
Exactly my thinking.
Columbo’s already a trickster god, my suspension of disbelief goes a lot further for this show than other things
I feel very-very sorry about the real tragic ending of the actor who is playing the role of Santini - I just learn that he got burned to death while smoking and drinking alcoholic beverage on the sofa and sleeping, which allow him to face the tragedy of ending his life. God bless his soul, he looks great Man to me with an impressive character and personality.
My FAVORITE villain Cassidy was AWESOME, cunning and brutal, favorite Colomo villain
Jack Cassidy characters thought they performed the perfect murder each time he was on the show. One of the greatest actors ever!!!
Just watched this a couple of weeks ago on DVD. After watching every Columbo many ,many times someone should be a expert at mur dering someone.
LOOL. But many of these murder tricks do not apply in 2021, they are dated. But you must admit Columbo got every great actor of this generation to come on his show !!! Even "The Prisoner" McGoohan. Even "I Spy" Robert Culp ! Actually, in 2021, I think the percentage of murders solved is lower than in the past, as well as the percentage of IRS fraud schemes. But there was a bump in crimes just because of the boomer population bump, I'm sure, and that has subsided.
jack cassidy’s reaction, subtle even to a point when columbo says “officer” and shrugs the police officer off is superb story telling. don’t know if it’s the director or cassidy himself but it gives him away right there; escorted others rather than being escorted. he was working in the camps after all.
brilliant.
This 3:16 is how I'll hand in my notice to my boss after I say I quit
@0:24 Robert Loggia. Wow that guy has been around forever.
Jack Cassidy's third and last performance as the perp on a Columbo movie. I wonder if he would have been in more if he had lived longer.
Possibly, if he managed to stop drinking.
I'd imagine so. They brought Robert Culp back a few times as he was a great "bad guy" also.
One glance at Jack Cassidy's Santini and you know he is a criminal. Looks so sneaky with that hair, mustache and attitude.
Epic take down! Columbo in his element.
I have watched this episode several times and I always tear-up at the end as Santini is led away and the music plays. It is sad as not only are we bidding farewell to Santini, but also to Jack Cassidy.😥 Although I didn't realize he actually did another mystery movie after this one when he appeared on McCloud later in the year. I guess Now You See Him was shot in early 1976 and Mr. Cassidy died In December of that year. I was always a great fan of his work and enjoyed him particularly in the three Columbo appearances he made.
This was just on last night. Jack Cassidy played a great criminal.
jack cassidy, possibly columbo greatest villain
remember watching these as they premiered as a kid .. Cassidy was quite mesmerizing as both an actor and a villain ... one cool cat .. miss them all terribly ... R.I.P. :(
Here’s one of Hollywood’s great actors, Jack Cassidy. Both he & his son, David Cassidy are deeply missed.😢
Now You See Him is my favorite Columbo Episode 👍👍👍
This episode "Now You See Him" is my absolute all time favourite Columbo episode and I love the ending!
Mine too, For many reasons!
I find it quite moving as Santini takes one last look around the club before leaving, even though he was a Nazi you kinda feel sorry for him at that moment. It was also moving knowing that this was Cassidy's last ever role before passing away. A great talent, taken far too soon
Jack Cassidy was a memorable villain as the German war criminal, who became a successful American magician.
true story?
All I can think of is how well cut Santini's suit is... 😀 Just kidding. Perfect scene. 70s Columbo is the best Columbo. The 90s episodes pale in comparison, although Columbo is Columbo.
Wow Mr. Jack Cassidy simply dashing. Loved this episode
Sgt. Wilson's shoes ROCK!
Perfect perfect perfect
in awe in awe in awe
Didn't know it could be done this well!!
Jack Cassidy is one of the finest actors ever!!!!!
He was - but under-rated, I think then, and forgotten today, where lesser talent is now celebrated.
Columba’s best overall episode of 69 total… simply terrific from opening credits to the final ones. Jack Cassidy’s third criminal episode was his finest. Many fantastic episodes…. the was my fav 👍
Never make that mistake and underestimate Colombo, he is a lot more clever than he lets on.
He acts stupid on purpose to let the killers mock and underestimate him and he pounces to catch them out when they least expect it, showing them how deadly he really is, casually getting them to incriminate themselves by confessing to the murder.
Colombo lets the killers' ego and arrogance get the best of them and trap them and he was so humble and polite when he does it.
Nobody could play Colombo better than the late Peter Faulk. He nailed the character perfectly.
The 1970s........when Columbo was on the beat, and Henry Mancini was playing contemplatively in the background. An era to bask in....
(6:08) What I find interesting is that there is a 1979 movie starring Robert Duvall. That movie's title is "The Great Santini," the same as on the poster in this video.
And, "Santini" was Chris Reas' stage name
The music at the end is the theme tune from Charade (1963) by Henry Mancini. Thematically apt.
I enjoy your channel often and never seem to tire of Columbo. Thanks
Murder victim Nehemiah Persoff (102) is still alive.
Another of of those wonderful character actors.
Are you related with "Rob" Rensenbrink?
@@amina-pr8xt No
@@sabinerensenbrink6896 OK..
Guy at the beginning is Frank Lopez from Scarface.
It's a shame sergeant Wilson didn't appear more
Interesting title and thumbnail.
This was a great episode of Columbo!!
Robert Loggia was always awesome in anything he did.
Excellent as always, Columbo.
"So much for your letter!"
5:04 I always thought that was quite effective how Santini comes into focus as Columbo is reading off the typewriter ribbon.
Robert Loggia has a small role ...Later years he would reach celebrity status .
Falk and McGoohan made Columbo great. Jack Cassidy was one of many guest stars who all gave us outstanding performances. Lt Frank Columbo tv’s greatest detective.
I worship.that episode
Santini : "What ribbon?" *POOF* (burns ribbon) "Goodbyr Columo!" (*disappears in a puff of smoke*)
Another great scene and classy villain exit, this show really had the best ways a villain leaves the scene.
I was forward to watch the ending of this Episode! Best of congratulations to the writer, director and producer, also the Star, actors and actresses. They all did great job to please the viewers by creating an amazing entertainment from the reality of our daily Life.
I like that this episode is called a perfect murder and youtube connected a Michael Douglas movie by mistake. It's silly but made me grin. Lol
This is about the 3rd time Columbo has arrested Jack Cassidy for murder.
Probably would've more but Cassidy died 9 months after this episode.
one of the best episode
Frank sure climbed the ladder fast after that.
Absolute class.
This might be my favorite episode.
One of my favorites!
Oooohhhhh Jack Cassidy DELICIOUS 🤗
Absolutely! My favorite Columbo villain!
@@lisawilliams2013 Yeah sad to say, I think this was his last performance before his death.
@@Inglese001 I believe you’re right. I remember reading he had some other TV and film projects completed (including an episode of McCloud), that weren’t aired/released until after he died. ☹️
“I typed that 😁”
Just imagine how cool it would be if you could see it live!
Jack Cassidy as santini, the part was made for him.
Jack Cassidy Sr. He was one great CHARACTER
even the title is classic, thank you.
..i love this serie...
One of my favourite episode's
No video title (besides the "| Columbo" suffix found on all videos), description just says Season " Episode ". I think someone goofed and uploaded this a little early.
That last line was classic.
Columbo must've been so frustrated that juries kept acquitting Jack Cassidy...
I never caught before that when the cops were marching Santinin out, the background music is the theme from "Charade" - nice touch!
I spent my childhood watching Jack Cassidy get arrested for murder Sunday Nights on the "NBC Mystery Movie" with Columbo, Mcloud, McMillian and Wife, Hec Ramsey etc
As a kid this was probably the only episode of Columbo I enjoyed…All the episodes were above my 7or8 years old understanding…
Disposable typewriter ribbons - the original keylogger.
Jack ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To keep up the level of writing and acting they did for 30 years, is a magic trick in itself. I don't wanna know the secret. I don't want to spoil the magic.
🍷😂🍷 Colombo became perfect magician as a result of his investigation of magic.
Was Robert Loggia too. Frank Lopez in Scarface.
Nehemiah Persoff who played Jesse Jerome is still alive at 102 years of age!!
Thank you.
Fav ep
I’m glad they gave a bit more ending.
“Oh, I’m sorry, there is no such thing as a perfect murder. That’s just an illusion.” This really encapsulates the whole point of a Columbo episode: The murderer is the main character of any given story, trying to accomplish the perfect murder. Columbo is the spirit of justice who comes into their story, to reveal that no matter how much they tried, their plans will have a flaw that brings the whole thing down.
"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party"
