ट्रिविया
A bust of Alfred Hitchcock is prominently displayed between the two arcade games in Alex Brady's office. Hitchcock was a shareholder in MCA-Universal studios and spent his last 20 years at the studio.

गूफ़
Columbo spots a couple of ice cream sodas left on the counter in Alex Bradey's office, known as his "boys' club". One glass is almost full, and the other about half-full. Not only can the viewer see this, but Columbo comments on it at length, theorizing with uncanny accuracy how the full and the half-full glasses show what happened earlier, when the victim (Fisher) was visiting Bradey's office. The moment Columbo leaves, Bradey rushes to the soda glasses to destroy the evidence. Inexplicably, both glasses are now nearly empty.

Columbo: [referring to the water bed] You know, I've never tried one of these. My wife, that's Mrs. Columbo, she tried to get me interested.
Alex Bradey: [after Columbo lies on the bed] Well, how do you like it?
Columbo: Well, to tell you the truth, sir, it feels all swimmy. Makes me wonder what Mrs. Columbo had in mind.

A fun Columbo

A Steven Spielberg type director murders an old friend who has uncovered the director's murder of a young woman years earlier. Columbo investigates, and we are treated to him walking around a studio and spending time in this young man's opulent dressing room, complete with a soda fountain. Columbo, of course, helps himself to a sundae.

This is one of the better "comeback" Columbos of the '80s and early '90s, with a delightful performance by Fisher Stevens as the director, who, despite a childlike quality is a total jerk. Nan Martin and Molly Hagen also turn in good performances.

There's a rumor that Steven Spielberg ghost-directed this episode. Hard to know, but the director does seem to have been modeled on him - not the murder part, though.
