#Columbo #PeterFalk #JackCassidy - Zábava
"I happened to be in the neighbourhood", "You're always in the neighbourhood". Loved the way Columbo always got under the skin of the villains...and Jack Cassidy was by far the best in my opinion.
And Robert Gulp
Yep, Robery Culp also good. Him and Jack played the villain several times I believe. Jack just edges it for me...I just loved the way Columbo got under his skin.
@@duckbilledplatyhate and..Roddy McDowell
And Patrick McGoohan
Cassidy looks so defeated when he says that the idea was the only good one he had, top notch acting from both columbo and cassidy
"Oh, you're always in the neighborhood!" 😅😅👍
I _love_ the ending to this episode. Cassidy delivers the perfect grin as Franklin submits to Columbo's barrage, reveling in the fact that while he may have been caught, he gave the detective a thorough run-around, before delivering the final twist: In a surprise to even the all-knowing audience, Franklin _did_ have one good idea for a book, and this was it.
He should have said, "Well if he did come up with the idea, then he wouldn't have fallen for it and called a lawyer
@@llarmstrong783 There would've been no need.
@@NetzachEnjoyer If hadn't have confessed a good enough lawyer could have gotten him off
All of Jack Cassidy episodes were great. And he does have a sharks smile.
Yes I agree he was great - my favorite one with Cassidy was - The Great Santini.
@@ssnoc
One of my favorites!
@@289cobra9 mine too
For real
Was he david cassidy' father?
Cassidy was one of the greatest murderer of the series. His "shark smile" fits perfectly.
good way to put it, "shark smile" lol
Why do you say "one of the greatest murderer"...singular?
@SNAKE PLISSKIN I agree, and I admit than even Robert Culp is "fighting for #1" in my ranking... He's totally on point. "The smart guy, who's used to be the smartest all the time", BUT... One more thing...
How about Patrick McGoohan but hey they're all good
George Hamilton has got the bigger shark smile.
"With this I think I got a conviction, don't you?"
Classic Columbo understatement! LOVE IT.
Steven Spielberg directed this.
Fantastic ending. When Franklin says a snarky, "You're going to arrest me?", Columbo responds with a condescending request to just confess as he's got him dead to rights. Then he calls him by his first name and tells him how sloppy he was. We can see Franklin's face is upset beyond just the accusation of murder, and once Columbo nails him with that note we see why: Columbo had repeatedly called him sloppy and attributed his genius to his partner, when it was his idea! Probably almost made him confess sooner. And then that creepy music comes in once he confesses. So good.
It was pride that led to his downfall. He couldn't stand for anyone, even the man he murdered, to take the credit for his idea. If he'd had a little less pride, he probably could have gotten away with it; I think a halfway decent lawyer could have gotten around that evidence.
Jack Cassidy is one of, if not the best Colombo villans in the series.
Jack tested Columbo twice more, appearing in two more episodes. Ep 22 Publish or Perish and Ep 36 Now You See Him. His great acting made those episodes so good to watch, as l have many times! 😄
The Great Santini.
Jack Cassidy really did nail the 'sinister' villian type spot on it's really a shame he went the way he did. RIP
Agreed. I wonder if he realized how much fans appreciated his talent.
@@trhansen3244 - Possibly not. Seems he was an unhappy drunk.
@@Richard_Straker You don’t need to be unhappy to have an addiction
@@Richard_Straker putting it politely.
He was known to be a mean drunk.
I was watching the "Murder By The Book" episode on TV. After he killed the woman, something funny struck me. I can see where a comedian could "get" this and turn it into a tv skit. PERSON AFTER PERSON AFTER PERSON COULDA SAW OR GOT "IN ON" HIS CRIMES, AS A WITNESS OR BLACKMAILER, OR BOTH. Then, he coulda killed them ALL, one after the other, became a serial killer then, and the "dumb" detective STILL wouldn't get that he was a killer,...a serial (by then!) killer. I smiled bscause that funny thought hit me. He, also coulda been "angered", by it continuing to happen as well. But, it would have been a VERY DIFFERENT show then. Hilarious, instead of devious.
0:18 You’re always in the neighborhood 😭😭😭
That line was so true. Both men were great actors!
No one can do the smug smile like Jack Cassidy ;)
Maybe Jack Nicholson... but that's about it.
@@shelbyherring92 Well, nearly...don't forget the great Patrick McGoohan.
Christopher Lee?
Hah the funniest line- "You're always in the neighborhood!"
Columbo... The best. Incomparable. There won't be another one like it. I have the complete collection and I never get tired of watching it.
Jorge Adas, where did you get the complete collection? I'd like to buy it.
Jorge Adas, yes send me the web site. If they don't send to usa I haven't lost anything. Thanks.
Falk and Cassidy are magic together.
I more or less know the dialogue by heart but I never tire of watching these Columbo episodes because Peter Falk was a truly wonderful actor.
He wrote it down because it was a good story idea. The irony is that he wrote down his own death scene and didn't even know it.
But he did know it. On the way to the cabin, he has a sense of deja vu and even mentions it to Ken. If he'd paid closer attention to that feeling, he'd have survived.
this must be the only episode where Columbo calls the villain or anyone by their first name.
"You're always in the neighborhood..." 😆😆😆
I absolutely love the camera angles on this episode!
Well it was directed by a certain Steven Spielberg
@@evo5dave Yes, a young Steven Spielberg already proving to be one of the greats at the age of 25!
Jack Cassidy, Bob Culp, Bob Conrad, Ross Martin, Pat O'Neal and the list goes on. But there is something about Mr. Cassidy that elicits contempt and admiration. The air is always fouled by his murders...it never abates or diminishes and every glance by him projects that dark lunacy.
Absolutely! And let's not forget Ruth Gordon and Johnny Cash! O loved those two episodes as well. It seems these guest stars also had a lot of fun playing off Peter Falk and being the "bad guy" with delicious abandon.
this episode is in my opinion by far the best columbo episode ever and it just so happened to be the only one directed by Steven Spielberg
"You wanna know the irony of all it. That is my idea"
"For the first one, not the second one that was sloppy"
I don't think I'll ever be able to forget these lines, and im not too sure why
I happen to be in the neighborhood,,,,
You're always in the neighborhood...ahh ahaha hah ah
The music at the end....pure class
Great episode! Jack Cassidy was in 4 or 5 episodes and I loved them all. Miss Lasanka the store clerk who tried to blackmail him was excellent too.
He was a superb actor.
three episodes
I never get bored of this. So great writing and acting.
If I recall, wasn't this the episode that Steven Spielberg directed?
Yes one of his first jobs.
It's astonishingly one of my favorite episodes and i'm surely not surprised that spielberg directed this
Jack Cassidy nearly had a patent on "Slimy, Smarmy, Two-faced, Back-stabbing Bad Guy" back in the 70s. *Nobody* could do them as repulsively as he. He was awesome. Did the same character, only gay, in "The Eiger Sanction" with Clint Eastwood and George Kennedy. Excellent. 👌👍😁
He was bi sexual. Terrific villain.
@@MrDavey2010 In real life, or his character in "Eiger Sanction"?
@@dank8865 In real life.
@@MrDavey2010 Ah, thank you. As you can see, I had no idea. We're only now learning these things. Admittedly, the knowledge is inconsequential as it has no bearing on any actor's ability (or lack thereof.) But some of this gossip, as all good gossip, is really fun. Like Marlon Brando and Wally Cox being a couple for many years up until Mr. Cox's death. I get a kick outta that as I picture them being a really fun pair to hang out with if talk shows and Hollywood Squares were any accurate indication 🤣😂🤣😂!!!
@@dank8865 Totally agree with you.
someone should make a mix of the ,,i was in the neighborhood, you’re always in the neighborhood “😅😅😅
Franklin obvously failing to realise that as Columbo is with the LAPD, he is likely to be "always in the neighbourhood".
Thank God for reruns of the best shows in American TV history. But Frank Columbo was the best detective ever. Even 20yrs later they were making Columbo episodes. But not as good as the original but still better than what's on tv today.
Why is it when Jack Cassidy plays the antagonist he always gets angry with Columbo and goes in on him? LMAO! When he was the murderer magician he got very angry with Columbo and went in on him just like he did in this eppy. LOL
The only thing Jack Cassidy ever did wrong was to be born about 15-20 years too late. He had such a debonair and sophisticated style that would have been perfect on screen in the late 30's and through the 40s. Unfortunately for him when he was coming into his prime in the late 50s that type had gone out of style somewhat, with Brando, Dean, Newman, and the other stars of that day projecting a more natural and earthy quality as opposed to the aristocratic and suave style of a lot of leading men in the previous era.
I think as a result he never quite achieved the success someone of his talent level should have reached. Jack Cassidy really had it all. He was amazingly handsome, very effective with both drama and light comedy, and could sing and dance. His Columbo appearances were always a treat!!
Totally agree, and I am convinced enough to watch his other material.
This was at the beginning of the series, and the way the ending is revealed is different from later episodes. Columbo is more direct, more willing to show his intelligence openly to the murderer here. Later on we would get the Columbo we remember, and the difference is stark
Not at all, he was direct in a couple of investigations. he was when he particularly disliked the "villain". In "Etude in Black" (SE02), he even unveil the murderer that he KNOWS it's him before officially start the investigation.
The great Santini still doesn't know that he will be arrested again soon at another episode
My top 3
1. A Bird in the Hand.
2. Columbo goes to College.
3.Murder of a Rock Star.
There is a Columbo cable channel on my Smartbox TV that plays series after series of the show, however, its rare that any goes all the way to the end. I've no idea what the idea is with that. Surely, whoever's behind the channel can lay hands on the complete series with all the episodes intact and in their complete format. Grrrr!!!
Just finished this episode last night. Currently watching one episode everyday until I hit the last.
He was great here, and in the episode in which he plays a magician (who is a Nazi fugitive). Fine actor.
I understand Cassidy was a nice man unfortunately had bipolar disorder and he divorced his wife, Miss Shirley Jones because he hated for her to be at the center of his vicious mood swings. I guess I'd have to say that sounds like one of the most selfless admirable things a husband can do for someone he loves.
Your right and Shirley Jones was David Cassidy's step mother
He suffered a pretty tragic death, too.
@@petergray7576 Yes, a fire... How unfortunate.
I heard he could be nasty, but also very nice. I guess that's why.
@@petergray7576 yes. He was renting a house from Nanette Fabray. He would flick his cigarettes at the fireplace. she warned him he might miss and he assured her he never missed.
Good one 💙
Spielberg really nailed this. Notice who has the height advantage as the scene progresses. At first it's Cassidy, but Falk towers over him in the end. Almost pantomime story telling.
Jack Cassidy was awesomely evil in this
Jack was the best of them all ...brilliant actor
They don’t come often, but I love those double twists at the end!
2:55 oh that shot was slick. Columbo isnt known for its artistic filming but that one is solid.
Jack Cassidy always had that grin 🤙🏻
Can someone help me on this one. Why does Colombo finding the story idea make the case so certain that Ken confesses?
Yeah, that's the weak point in the plot in this Columbo episode. Nevertheless, it's a brilliant episode!
Now You See Him I think was his last apparence. Sadly dying not long after from a cigarette after falling asleep on the sofa.
George Hamilton has got the better shark smile !
"I hate ta botha ya..."
The great Jack Cassidy is simply magnetic to the audience in every episode that he appears in. He was a very fine, distinguished actor indeed, and I've always greatly admired his work. As I've not seen this episode in a very long while, is there any way that Jack's character can escape conviction? I'm an Englishman, not American, so I'm not entirely sure if he has even a remotely viable escape route in the American justice system. Any ideas?
Top 3 of my favourite episodes.
Jack Cassidy was one of the greatest Columbo villains ever. We lost him WAY too soon.
Jack always played a good baddie
Someone said it absolutely right that Spielberg exposed a little bit of Peter out of Columbo especially in this (final) scene.
He played Ted Baxter’s older brother too
Steven Spielberg directed this episode.
horrible job by continuity in the cut at 0:15 :p Jack Cassidy is a full half meter off between the two shots
Jack Cassidy looks too much like William F. Buckley. That's no compliment.
Wow David Cassidy's father
and Sean's
I’ll be the first to say that I’ve never been in a courtroom, but to me there was really no proof anywhere that a lawyer could not discredit.
Typically tho that doesn’t matter. It’s about Columbo’s relationship with the killer and getting the killer to admit to the crime. Once you confess to an officer, it’s kinda done.
While the bullet and the victim's blood could've been found in the bungalow and blood also in the trunk of the murderer's car.
If you're going to apply real life to Columbo, then you need to consider that arresting the murderer doesn't actually end the investigation. It just means that he's behind bars and won't be covering his tracks. Almost all of Columbo's arrests are insufficient for a completely successful case, but it's easy to imagine that further investigation would prove productive.
Academic. As soon as the jury saw that the murderer was played by Jack Cassidy, they'd have been, "Of course he did it!"
@@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures ok, you got me on that one. Well said. 🤣🤣🤣👍
The Great Santini
This one is Murder By The Book; Jack Cassidy played the Great Santini in a later episode titled "Now You See Him"
@@jasonplatt2228 oh yeah. Great Santini was the better character
Columbo is a person in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
He's in your neighborhood
The lieutenant is a person in your neighborhood
A person that you see each day
And you can really hear when the dub kicks in
Can anyone identify what city they're overlooking? I'm guessing maybe Century City looking south.
Love the typewriter music at the end .. which they cut off 😒
Cassidy was one of my favorite Columbo villains. Culp was another one
I can see of Redd White inspiration from Ace Attorney in this
RIP Peter Falk and Jack Cassidy.
Ein Columbo Fan
Sie waren einzigartige Schauspieler! Die Arroganz der Schurken, die von Cassidy porträtiert wurden, war reizvoll zu sehen!
Sad end of life for cassidy, a Great actor. Also his son, David died young and offer for King alkohol.
Directed by Steven Spielberg!
Jack Cassidy was great. Closest thing Columbo got to a Moriarty, although obviously Mr. Cassidy wasn't playing the same character in his appearances.
I wonder if he really did come up with that idea or if he just convinced himself he did.
"how could you have been playing on your ps3 if the ps3 has no games?"
Jack Assidy!!
The other clip of this was better, there was more to it.
When I was a kid, I liked George Peppard in Banacek. I did not like Columbo or McCloud.
Now that I’m much older I can appreciate the later two.
Robert Culp and Jack Cassidy……. Tough call
Szabó Gyula's voice is much better for Columbo than the original Peter Falk voice.
Oiliest man in show business. Jack Cassidy was definitely one of the greats
A wants to kill B but makes it look like B and A weren’t together because B made a phone call…that may well be a mystery idea Adam told Eve, it’s so old. 🤨
Jack Cassidy's voice makes me angry inside
The Lily character clearly wanted Ken himself as much as the money, or more. If only he'd stayed on her good side that way, instead of committing the "sloppy" second murder.
My Boss in the office
Why do they post the same clips over and over?........
0:05, 1:04, 1:07
It doesn't matter but I can't help wondering if any of the criminals were convicted. I am surprised he didn't go after him for Miss LaSanca's murder. Suspects should shut up but they think they're too smart to be caught
Partrige tease
Does Columbo call Cassidy's character by his first name "Ken" at about the 2:19 mark? did Columbo ever call his quarry by their first name?
This was one of the first two pilot episodes of Columbo before his personality was fully developed.
Nobody could go as smoothly from faux charm to surgically-precise arrogance like Cassidy.
Déjà vu
Takes effort to show how it's done. By unscrupulous folks that had you buried alive right j4. Smoke em out
He doesn't have a conviction at all.
Jack Cassidy, hmmmmm
Arrogant bad acting . But still made Columbo episodes a success.
Clobumbo couldn't crack a wall nut much less a case ...
