Film star Janet Leigh plays an aging actress who wants to be in the limelight again. Sadly, she married a doctor who provides a comfortable and secure life but it's no love match but he does take care of her well. Even though, they are in separate bedrooms. There does seem to be some kind of relationship. He tries to reason with her and her foolish dream to star on the stage again playing the roles she loved to do. Anyway, I loved Janet Leigh's performance and she was truly an excellent actress in this episode. Columbo and her character have humorous and tender moments as well. When we get to the end of the episode, we feel sorry for the prime suspect because we had no idea of the truth behind the crime. I love the maid and butler/chauffeur who are devoted Johnny Carson fans. Unlike other Columbo episodes, this episode has a twist and surprise that others don't have.
