i sort of liked this columbo movie its atmosphere and which was real thriller like and its approach even at times reminded me of film noir and in the movie its first 30 minutes or so. it really nice and done in a good old fashioned way and with the right camera angles and use of light. it doesn not mean instantly that this movie is a brilliant one though but its solid enough to consider this a good late columbo movie entry. it definitely a better movie than the average later columbo movie entry. 26 years after his previous columbo movie appearance and george hamilton returns once again to play the main lead opposite peter falk and again as the murderer and in a total different and new role of course. i liked him in his role and he was a good columbo villain and who gave the good old lieutenant some good competition. they had some nice sequences together. problem with the amodern new columbo movies always sort of had been that it do not feature a good well known actor opposite peter falk. this movie obviously doesn not suffer from this problem. but i must say though that this movie doesn not feature peter falk at this best. he has certainly played the character better and his performance isn not quite consistent enough within this movie and which is probably also due to he movie its director daryl duke and who also directed the really dreadful movie tai pan and among many other projects. it has a rather good and enjoyable story but the fact that the same sort of plot to cover up the murder had been used before in an earlier columbo movie also doesn not help of course. it got used before in the 1975 movie columbo represent playback. nevertheless it of course also still has plenty enough original moments of its own with its story and even though of course in essence every columbo movie is more or less the same. but oh well and that is what made the columbo series so great and consistent. if it ain not broke do not fix it. it also is true that within this movie more clues than usual are left out for the lieutenant and which doesn not mean that the movie its murderer is more stupid or sloppy but i more see it as the writers being more overly enthusiastic than others. it doesn not make the movie or story bad and it in fact perhaps even makes it more enjoyable and to see columbo hard at work and discovering all kind of small but important clues. luckily the movie is also filled with some enjoyable effective relieving columbo comedy. simply a good late columbo movie entry. positive .
