this be the second entry in the regular columbo series and and it hold up well today . a i be able to look at it closely now on dvd and see how it be construct and i be very impressed with the direction of bernard l. kowalski ( who direct the fine macho callahan as well a countless tv episode ) watch how the post murder action of the killer be show on a split screen effect on his two eyeglass and watch how the murder itself be show in montage fashion and watch the point of view shot from the perspective of the corpse . also and the wild but impressive avant garde musical score from note jazzman gil melle be incredible and help so much to create atmosphere . and the support performance of brett halsey a the golf pro be wonderful such subtlety and complexity in a role that nine out of ten time would be a one dimensional cutout . the formula have not yet be set when this episode be film and so there be still some surprise in columbo method . of course and falk and robert culp and and ray milland be the high quality actor and it a pleasure to see them work all men be familiar from many other role yet lose themselves in their character here . in all and this entry in the columbo series and many of the others be as well craft a a very good feature film .
