Whenever a Columbo story deviates from the familiar plot (colorful killer commits crime, Columbo smokes out killer, Columbo becomes a pest in the process), the writers somehow are never able to match the quality and interest of most traditional episodes. This episode deviates in the extreme, and the result is a major flop.
Would you believe: Columbo never faces the villain till the very end?!!
Frankly, I was tempted to turn it off about two-thirds through.
Oh, the sacrifices we self-appointed reviewers make!!!
