Anecdotes
At one point in his investigation, Columbo picks up a 1959 dime and mentions to Brady that it's "one of those old silver ones. I betcha that's worth 40, maybe 50 cents." It is true that all pre-1965 dimes (as well as quarters and halves) were made out of silver (90% silver, 10% copper, to be exact). And his estimate of the value being approximately four times the face value is correct.

In 1965, the metal composition for dimes and quarters switched to 75% copper and 25% nickel. Halves switched to a composition of 40% silver. In 1971, halves switched to 75% copper and 25% nickel, same as the dimes and quarters.

Dr. Steadman: Well, perhaps the lieutenant would like to see a menu?
Columbo: Ah, that won't be necessary, sir.
[as Maitre D' walks away with back turned,]
Columbo: I'll just have a BLT on white toast and cream soda.
Maitre D': [Maitre D' abruptly turns around, and while filling out menu, says] One embarcadero garni.
Columbo: Thank you very much.
[Looking at Dr. Steadman's plate]
Columbo: What are they, snails?
Dr. Steadman: Escargo dipped in garlic butter. Flavor is fantastic.
Columbo: Oh garlic, that's what I smell. What's it for?
[pause]
Columbo: To kill the taste of the snails?
Maitre D': [Returning with plate 5 minutes later] Your embarcadero, sir. Garni.
Columbo: Ah, excuse me, I just ordered a B.L.T., what's all this?
Maitre D': That's garni, sir.
Columbo: Oh. Well, to tell you the truth, I'm not feeling too hungry. Maybe you could put this in a doggie bag and I'll eat it on the plane?
Maitre D': [With expression of disdain] Of course, sir.
Columbo: Thank you. Ah, just the sandwich. The garni... you can keep the garni.

One of the more fascinating entries of the later Columbos

Rest in Peace Mrs Columbo is not one of my favourites of the brilliant Columbo series, but I still find it a very good episode. While it does drag in the middle, it is one of the more fascinating later Columbos, having an intriguing flashback-driven story, clever dialogue that is both amusing and tense and some great scenes especially the restaurant scene and the ending. Rest in Peace Mrs Columbo looks beautiful too, with some atmospheric scoring, slick editing and crisp direction. Peter Falk perhaps has given better performances of the series, but he is still gleefully enjoyable, and Helen Shaver is excellent in her meaty and quite unhinged role. Support roles are taken by Ian McShane and Roscoe Lee Brown and both are among the more interesting support performances of the later episodes.

In conclusion, fascinating. 8/10 Bethany Cox
