I have seen every episode of Columbo and savor every nuance and interplay between the characters. I believe Dabney Coleman is the perfect villain to fall into Columbo's 'web of intrigue' and there have been many expert encounters (Patrick McGoohan being among the cream). But Coleman so perfectly asserts his arrogance even while neatly stepping ever so blithely into the inevitable path Columbo uncovers. And while it may not be the cleverist of his arrests, just watching Coleman slowly dissemble is a delight for Falk and Coleman fans alike. Little Richard's part brightens it up as well and Shera Danese rounds out the piece beautifully.
