Wealthy Clifford Paris is set to marry a much younger woman, but one of his nephews has other ideas, Columbo has to investigate whether it was TV chef and personality Dexter, or bis more serious twin, businessman Norman.
A classic episode, an excellent end to the second series, it's intriguing, suspenseful and pretty funny. It's about the first time that Columbo's sloppy dress and cigar smoking activities actually irritate someone.
To my knowledge, this is only the second episode so far, which could be classed as a whodunnit, we are made to wait until the very end to learn the identity of the killer.
The scenes between Columbo and Mrs Peck were a joy, Jeanette Nolan was wonderful, loved her constant irritations about her TV show being interrupted. Also loved those scenes of Columbo on a TV cookery show, Falk was so natural.
Martin Landau was excellent I thought, a really good actor, he convinced me as both of the characters, more than enough differentiation.
Very good.
8/10.
