- 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
A 1994 Columbo story that goes out of its way, even by modern Columbo standards, to remove the entrenched shackles of the style and execution exhibited in the original series.
The puzzling plot involves a piece of a black and white photograph found at the scene of a double murder in an apartment. An insurance investigator later comes forward providing Columbo with a ripped piece of paper partly showing the names of people who possess the other pieces of the photograph, which when wholly assembled, will identify the whereabouts of a hidden loot stemming from a bungled robbery a few years ago.
Undoubtedly, plenty of energy and ambition was plunged into this Columbo adventure at the conception stage, but the plot's positive properties are undone by a script which drags it's revelations around with it rather mundanely rather than inserts them with conviction. Also, the characters also lack a certain lustre and fail to raise the profile of the whole episode.
Columbo's donning of disguises means that he is hardly in his trademark mac and for die-hard fans this is a little hard to stomach, despite Falk's obvious self-pleasure in diversifying his character on screen.
Not a total washout by any means and mildly entertaining in its own way, the identity of the culprit (revealed about 5 minutes from the end) is however unsurprising and moreover, there is absolutely no opportunity for a battle of wits between Columbo and murderer, which was the hallmark of the original series.
A warning to all fans of the old 70's Columbo series: extreme broad-mindedness (or amnesia) might allow you to partially enjoy this episode, but it simply builds up the plot and fails to sustain it's intensity.
