Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Dale Kingston is on TV lecturing about Goya, Kingston compliments him by saying he was the "penultimate artist." The word "penultimate" means "next to the last" so the word makes no sense in the script.

One of the first in the amazing and very famous TV series about the detective. The TV - Movies are always very interesting and this one is just another addition to that great series.
In this one Columbo follows and art critic who suspects of killing a man and stealing paintings. The bad guy always trying to cover up his crime never escapes Columbo's suspicions.
Like as I said, all very entertaining and interesting keeping you quessing to the end how the crime will be solved.
