It reveals Columbo suspects a man must be involved because a girl like thats gotta have a man (another very dated concept). Who? Hes got 99 problems, but Jennifer Welles aint one of them anymore. As a diehard fan of Columbo, I thought his performance in Etude was first-rate. So what, comes the response from Benedict. Very entertaining. If Columbo knows otherwise he doesnt say so, although its not the sort of detailthat normally escapes him. Does anyone know the music that Alex was conducting to on the night of the murder?

I love John Cassavetes, but anyone else feel he should've done more research on how to move as a conductor?

A slightly unoriginal plot aside, this is a well-unravelled, holding Columbo story, highlighted by some thoughtfully conceived and executed sequences involving real-life friends Peter Falk and John Cassavetes; a fact which unquestionably amplifies the script's effectiveness. Shots of Alexs imposing mansion and fancy car establish his wealth or rather, his dependence on his mother-in-laws wealth.

The calibre of the supporting cast was suitably grand, too. #Sentimental Journey. I agree it is not note-perfect, the scene with Myrna Loy and the fogies is very badly played and one or two of the clues were a little too obvious too early especially the carnation at the scene of the crime(which the mystery revolves around) and while I loved the chemistry between Columbo and Benedict I personally would've liked more mind games between the two perhaps.

Given the friendship between Falk and Cassavetes, I'm a little disappointed that some of the interplay between them is less entertaining than it could be at times, especially during the scene where Columbo asks Benedict how much he pays in taxes, how much his house his worth, etc. According to IMDB, Mike the mechanic was played by Don Knight.

It sports a top-notch cast, including John Cassavetes, who was never handsomer or sexier, Anjanette Comer, Myrna Loy, and Blythe Danner. Another thing that bothers me is, the episode does a very poor job at concealing the fact that the music was pre-recorded. Peter Falk stars as the well-known Det.

Alas, we are stuck with Conductors who cannot conduct, musicians who cannot sync their pretend playing with actual music, magicians who rely on comic book magic tricks (Im looking at you, Great Santini) and directors who dont know what they are talking about (vis--vis Alex Bradey).
