PLOT: A commissioner at the LAPD (Richard Kiley) provides an alibi for his neighbor (Michael McGuire) after he kills his wife in a fight, but the commissioner expects the same in return.
COMMENTARY: This is sort of an obscure Columbo flick, but it shouldn't be. Kiley is charismatic as the devilish villain and the plot makes interesting changes to the formula. The fact that the murderer is Columbo's boss is a nice twist. The beautifully exotic Arlene Martel shows up for a cameo. The film runs 1 hour, 38 minutes.
GRADE: A-
