Anecdotes
When Columbo goes to the private detective, hired by Hugh Creighton (Dabney Coleman) to check on his mistress, the series pays homage to classic film noir "private eyes". The name of the private eye is Sam Marlowe. This is a combination of the names Sam Spade and Phillip Marlowe. Sam Spade was the fictional private detective of Dashiell Hammett's 1930 novel, The Maltese Falcon. Phillip Marlowe was the fictional character created by Raymond Chandler in his 1939 novel "The Big Sleep". Additionally, there is a statuette of a black bird on the windowsill in Sam Marlowe's office that looks like the famous bird from Le faucon maltais (1941).

Gaffes

Citations
Lt. Columbo: [reading off a card] You have the right to remain silent, you know if you give that up, anything you say can be used against you. You have the right to retain an attorney... you have the right to... what the hell is that?

With Columbo, you can't go wrong!

I am one of the biggest Columbo fans. I just love Peter Falk and his most famous character, Lieutenant Columbo. In this one, Dabney Coleman plays a wealthy corrupt attorney who kills his rock star girlfriend and sets her male lover with the crime. We don't actually see the crime since it's not Columbo's style to show a victim in a degrading matter. We are only given hints of what he does to her. It's fine by me. Columbo episodes are always tastefully done rather than carelessly graphic. What makes Columbo episodes so entertaining is the empathy for the victims regardless of judgment. Dabney Coleman as a popular LA criminal defense attorney tries to outsmart Columbo but fails. No criminal is smart enough to beat Columbo.
