columbo movie have be go downhill for year and this year it may have reach the bottom . peter falk give the same uninspired performance and come over a creepy in this movie . a be usual in this series and crime scene protocol be unheard of so plausibility be always lack . brenda vaccaro chew the scenery and pull pantomime face and andrew stephen be a pretty unconvincing lady man . ( his faint and though and be a hoot . ) the script be by the number and it delivery patronising . they should never have bring columbo into the ninety and just leave u all with one or two happy memory of clever plot and good script and sharp characterisation .
