- QuizThis is the fifth of six appearances by Peter Falk's second wife Shera Danese on the series.
- BlooperWhen Columbo shows up at Mo Weinberg's apartment, he looks through the key hole and sees Mo straight ahead in the kitchen, and then he sees Mo move across the apartment to his bedroom. The first problem is that a keyhole that can be seen through would require a skeleton key, and no apartment in any big city, such as L.A., would still be using skeleton keys in 1994 -at least not as the sole lock for a front door. However, assuming that the skeleton keyhole was in that door, then the second problem is that Columbo would have been able to see only straight ahead, i.e., tunnel vision. People are not able to pan across the room through a keyhole.

Recensione in evidenza
It seems that Peter Falk didn't mind veering from the "Columbo" formula from time to time, but the attempts weren't always successful. "Undercover" from season 12 is one example.
The big problem is that it isn't a script meant for Columbo, and very little was done to adapt it to our rumpled lieutenant. It begins in a precinct and concerns the hunt for pieces of a photograph, cut to resemble jigsaw pieces, that will tell the police where $4 million was hidden after a robbery six years earlier. When they are approached by the insurance agent (Ed Begley, Jr.) who couldn't recover the money, the captain says that Columbo and another detective (Harrison Page) can take it on.
It's not an altogether unsuccessful episode, but the beginning is offputting. It's not just the precinct set and a 67-year-old man getting permission from his captain, it's the fact that the dialogue and setup are just not the character in any way, shape, or form.
Later it becomes fun, when Columbo actually goes undercover as a low-life to track down the photo pieces and then as a Mafia godfather. Also, he has good scenes with the real-life Mrs. Falk, Shera Danese, and a fun scene with Tyne Daly, who plays an old hooker. However, this scene wasn't in tune with Columbo either as I don't think he would have kissed her on the lips.
Burt Young, who once played Columbo in Murder Can Hurt You - but the name was changed to Palumbo - is one of the people looking for the puzzle, and the absolutely gorgeous Kristen Bauer, now Kristen Bauer von Straten is Begley's girlfriend.
There is a little Columboism at the end.
I can't say I didn't enjoy this episode because it's hard not to enjoy Columbo and I always took him any way I could get him. I'm just disappointed that a little more effort wasn't put into the script -- it actually could have been a Movie of the Week with Falk playing a completely different character.
