I began to watch the Colombo episodes since 2 months ago. Some are interesting, some are good. Honestly, When you 're in the mood, you understand easily how he solves the plot. When I began this one, immediately, I thought that Peter Falk was largely inspired by the french movie by Henry-Georges Clouzot, "Les Diaboliques", in which two women (the wife and the lover) decides to murder the man using them, for the money and for sex. In that movie, based on a novel by Boileau and Narcejac (french writers of the novel used for the plot of Vertigo), it's not clearly established that the two women have a love affair; in the Jeremiah Chechik remake, it's more evident. So, the pot of this Colombo episode reminds me that french novel (Am I clear ? lol) But I have to admit, Falk wrote an interesting approach. It touched me, and this is a very special plot in Colombo's episodes. It's very interesting how the lieutenant reacts to Dunaways's character, how the story develops. To me, since the very first episode, this one is the most elaborate, the most truly heartfull and I'm sure the writing and the acting of Peter Falk has an importance. It's my opinion of course but this episode is very interesting for multiple reasons.
