Columbo Filming Locations Revealed for the episode "Identity Crisis" starring Peter Falk, Patrick McGoohan, and Leslie Nielsen. Filming Locations Identified and Revealed by Jim Benson, co-author (with Scott Skelton) of the upcoming book, The Ultimate Columbo:(www.UltimateColumboBook.Com), includes the following:

"Identity Crisis" aired on November 2nd, 1975. Starring Peter Falk, Patrick McGoohan (in his second Columbo appearance), Leslie Nielsen, Bruce Kirby, and Otis Young.
Also the debut of Patrick McGoohan as a director for Columbo, "Identity Crisis" tells the story of Nelson Brenner (McGoohan) a corrupt, double-dealing CIA agent (McGoohan), who murders a fellow agent (Leslie Nielsen) who suspects Brenner is a double agent involved in money laundering.
As director and partial writer, McGoohan crafts a complex story covering a vast geographic territory: Santa Monica to Long Beach, Burbank to Beverly Hills.
Except for three minor scenes, "Identity Crisis" was shot entirely on location. A rarity, especially for 1970s Universal TV productions.

I didn't fly out from Washington to have coffee, Nelson.

He certainly didn't order coffee at Sinbad's!

Its a shame they tore down enchanted hill.

[@thetvtimemachine]

A tragedy. Especially since to this day, nothing has been built to replace Enchanted Hill--it's still a baren, vacant lot.

Kill the music man, it sucks.
