sorry to repeat myself over and over and but here another great columbo episode . i guess that why i be such a fan most episode really be great . the best episode always have a standout feature of some sort and and in this case the murderer and his accomplice be possibly the young ever columbo villain . after watch a lot of episode where columbo and his adversary act like close friend and it good to see an episode where temper fray and bad feeling rise to the surface . it just give an episode a bit more drama and bite . columbo be rapidly onto the fact that the two student who claim to be help him be not very secretly laugh at him and feed him false clue . he happily play along and deliberately turn up the bumbling in front of them to make them underestimate him . but of course he know instantly when they be talk baloney . the murder itself be another complicated one and along the line of the bye bye sky high iq episode and with a sophisticated chain reaction of event that manage to kill the intended target while provide the assassin with a seemingly watertight alibi . in the intervening year between 1978 and 1990 and the technology have move on from record player and firecracker to remote control car lock system and hidden camera . stephen caffrey put in a great performance a justin rowe and the obnoxious and spoilt student . gary hershberger be low key but good a his yes man friend cooper redman . and it nice to see robert culp a mr rowe and justin dad . a very satisfying episode in all way .
