i agree with most of the columbo fan that this movie be an unnecessary change of format . columbo be a unique cop with unorthodox police method . this movie look like a remake of any other ordinary detective drama from the past . and that be the disturb point and because columbo be no ordinary detective . there be two part in this film that leave me intrigue . first and i can not figure out the title of this movie . it be mislead . maybe a good title would have be the vanish bride or something similar . second and columbo hide a piece of evidence without offer the reason ( to the viewer at least ) why he do it . i do not feel betrayed and just disappointed . i be glad peter falk go back to the usual columbo .
