Columbo JOUSTing with Fisher Stevens on a latter Columbo |
The doomed victim is an old friend who blackmails the soon-to-be killer, using a film reel of a stunt gone terrible wrong: a young woman died and the film was covered up long ago. The murder itself is dragged out and far-fetched, having to do with an electric gate on the Universal Studios lot after dark. But once Columbo snoops around the lot, and then ferrets inside the director's studio den, the complicated introduction is all but forgotten. Fisher Stevens does a good job as the guy who has everything at his fingertips, including a beautiful woman that turns out not so loyal. It’s fun seeing Columbo sitting on a crane while it swings back and forth during filming an action sequence. And you’ll never see the pint-sized Lieutenant being attacked by classic Battlestar Galactica Cylon Raiders ever again… so check this one out.
