Jack Cassidy pops up again as another scheming and conniving scoundrel, and general all round nere-dowell.
Here he is reincarnated as The Great Santini the grand master of illusions, himself replete with concealed skeleton.
This is a 2nd Columbo Episode featuring magicians though they both involve Murders, this is no way near as gruesome.
Columbo is looking rather neater than usual this time replete with, new haircut and coat supplied by his misses as a present.
But, can Columbo ever really be happy in anything in the way of new clothes?
Inspector Columbo is teamed up again with Sargeant John Wilson, and we are reminded of his characters personality.
Sgt. Wilson is an officer who loves to stick by the book of police procedures, and particularly keen to be efficient and punctilious.
What a complete difference in personalities and approach, between Columbo vs Sgt. John Wilson.
Neither of them can seemingly quite appreciate or want to contend with the other, that's certainly what comes across to me.
Columbo is really a solo performer which may appear as a daft observation, as he is invariably seen in situations surrounded by other officers.
But if you watch him at work he is thoroughly emersed, in what he is about. And Columbo really doesn't want to have to be bothered with having to put up with Sgt. John Wilson.
