Watched Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice featuring the great Robert Culp, so I wanted to run a little Robert Culp double feature.

carsini_wines_fan rated Fade in to Murder 4.5 stars

William Shatner is the actor Ward Fowler, known as the very famous TV dectective Lieutenant Lucerne. He murders his old flame and producer who was blackmailing him in a staged robbery, and Columbo is on the case. The interactions between Shatner and Falk are a hoot, as Shatner character Fowler seems very comfortable dealing with Falk's Columbo as if they were partners on the case, not detective and suspect. Also, the wardrobe department dresses Shatner in an amazing wardrobe, with ascot, hat, and cane.

carsini_wines_fan rated Now You See Him 4.5 stars

Columbo matches wits with magician Jack Cassidy, giving a delightful performance. There are some great mustache-twirling moments, the lieutenant momentarily wears a different coat that he does not enjoy, and learns some magical secrets as well. Using those skills in the grand finale sequence make this a memorable finish.

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 05:25:00 +0000

carsini_wines_fan rated Identity Crisis 4.5 stars

Patrick McGoohan returns as a consultant/counter-espionage agent who sets up Leslie Nielsen in negotiation gone wrong. There's a bit of Bruce Kirby, some Morty Jessup, and Vito Scotti and the lieutenant in rapid-fire Italian. Also a very deep dive into the business of visitor photos at an amusement park. We also learn that Columbo likes his hot dogs very charred. Creative direction, lovely banter, I'm still not sure how the lieutenant connected all the dots, but I find I don't mind. "Be seeing you, lieutenant." A new personal favorite.
