Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The mysterious "Tanya Baker" figures into this case while Columbo and Keppel talk on the golf course. The same exact name was used "The Rockford Files: The Kirkoff Case (#1.1)" (1974), where Jim addresses the lady at the tennis club. This is no surprise as Stephen Cannell wrote both episodes. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Columbo arrives at a back office with monitors, he's being tracked by a videocamera. He arrives and sees himself live on the monitor, filmed from behind. What he sees doesn't match with his actual position, judging by a hand resting against a wall. more
Quotes:
Dr. Bart Keppel: [at an intersection] Which way?
Lt. Columbo: Beg your pardon?
Dr. Bart Keppel: Right or left? You didn't tell me where the murder was committed, Liuetenant, so I couldn't possibly know how to get there, could I?
Lt. Columbo: Turn right.
Dr. Bart Keppel: Nice try, though.
Lt. Columbo: Can't win 'em all!

Columbo has to match wits with Robert Culp again in this episode. I don't know offhand how many episodes that featured Robert Culp but I remember this one. He is a scientist who specializes in mental manipulation. I couldn't think of another way to explain it. Anyway, Columbo has met his match in this episode. Robert Culp's character kills somebody who wants to destroy his professional reputation as a top scientist who helps improves sales in grocery stores and other ways. Anyway, you have to watch how Columbo catches him. Like a typical episode, he becomes interested in his line of work but does not forget the victim or the crime. It's worth noting that it's pretty sophisticated in 1973 and I would watch it again if I have too but it's not my favorite episode of his or with Robert Culp.
