[@michellepazey6398]

The emotions: tensions, frustration, and fear of Columbo’s car and driving-this is magic. Storch gave everything to this scene. Falk gave his all, too. Terrific interplay. 🥰 Had a family friend drive us to the hospital for my dad’s serious operation; we couldn’t get out of the back seat because the car door wouldn’t open. It was like this scene. The tension of the day was pierced by the outbursts of laughter as we pulled up and are pushing, pulling and banging on the squeaking door. This clip brought back that memory so clearly. And, the operation was successful!! Gotta watch this scene again.

[@jacksak]

Yes, and where are great actors and personalities like this today? There are hardly any!

[@GhostDrummer]

This was great! 3:25 “Your eye has to be trained…” what an awesome line considering Peter only had one eye.

[@tonym994]

didn't even think of that. my grandfather from Italy had a phony eye. and coincidentally, he resembled Peter Falk, w/ or w/ out the eye situation. in fact, I thought Falk was Italian, he's played so many of them. he was 100% Jewish.

[@tonym994]

as Peter O'toole said (as the famous stage actor)in 'My favorite year', on his deathbed, "dying is easy. comedy is hard'. all the great comic actors (Falk among them, see the original 'in-laws')can handle drama. when you have to be funny on cue, it's great for your acting skills. my boy Larry was funny in a very serious scene.

Peter Falk is an all-time likable, great actor and personality. We need him today with shows like this.

[@michellehart644]

@Jack Sak. I adore Peter in Columbo. Something you should all know. Peter loved some of his fellow actors. I mean , REALLY respected them. His co-stars or small parts were CHOSEN by him. It was not an accident. His best friend in real life was John Cassavetes. (Played orchestra conductor who murdered his mistress). Jack Cassidy, William Shatner, Robert Culp starred multiple times. His real life wife (gorgeous Shera Danese) was great in every episode. Lush scripts, scenery Etc but you can BET they all had a lot fun. 🌹💋🙏🏽

He’s telepathic.

[@danguid2753]

Maybe he's a ventriloquist!

[@googiegress]

I was thinking the same thing. Possibly part of the issue is that with how far he is from the woman, he would not be muttering with only lip movement, he would be opening his mouth and moving his jaw. Maybe changing his facial expression. Instead what I suspect happened is there was no dialogue there during the shoot but later they decided the opening to the scene needed some context and added the audio in editing.

Love the comedy the mannerisms Peter Falk brought to his character, other episodes, when he gets pulled over for vehicle check, lights not working , faulty winscreen wipers etc,. And the look of disbelief on the policeman's face when Colombo tells them he a detective on the force, and others when people want to see his badge , who just can't believe he's on the force,. Brilliant.

[@ralphstreemkejr.]

Greatest driving instructor scene since Paul Lynde in Bewitched (before he became Uncle Arthur). I can imagine this is how a frustrated driving instructor would really be. Great performance by Storch. ‘She backed into a mailbox. A MAILBOX! Can you picture THAT?!’ You can’t help but feel sorry for the exasperated Storch in this scene. The poor guy! What driving instructors must deal with! Columbo: ‘I should do more walking myself.’ Larry Storch: ‘Indeed, you should!’ Fantastic!

Shows what a good actor he really is....good comedians are often great actors!

[@NurmYokai]

The way Columbo smiled, after getting an assurance of a signed affidavit. Makes one wonder if the bad driving was an act to obtain that result. 1. Columbo would have researched Mr. Weekly in advance. And known where he worked and lived. 2. How do you rattle a driving instructor? 3. Columbo's actions are rarely without purpose.

Yes. I remember Larry Storch with Forrest Tucker and Ken Berry in "F Troop." It was very funny. Forrest Tucker played a murder victim to Patrick O'Neal's effete murderer in an early episode.

What a truly fantastic scene with two very good actors & the humour that the script made it one of the lieutenant's finest moments...keep em coming as they are a great look back on Peter falk alias lieutenant columbo the best detective ever.

[@Tim_the_Enchanter]

The lieutenant's car is a character in the show, of course, and this glimpse of Columbo -- the consumate observer as a detective -- as a terrible driver is a fantastic addition to his character. And, of course, Larry Storch plays the long-suffering, jumpy driving instructor brilliantly.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

"We're going to turn at the next block." But he doesn't say left or right. ... No way. As a former driving instructor, and one who has many times accompanied a student to take the driving test administered by the state, there is NO WAY an experienced driving examiner would make that mistake! But, hey, the script writers did the important things right, and that's what matters.

[@danguid2753]

We can imagine that at this place only one access is authorized to turn.

[@tonym994]

yeah. he also didn't give the driver a proper 'heads up'. he was already at the intersection when he says "were turning at the next block".but I agree it was mostly well done.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

Actually, I missed a smaller, but also important point: I was taught--and I expect this goes for all driving instructors and driving test examiners--not to say, "Turn left at the next corner," but rather "At the next corner turn left." The reason is that the student or person being tested is likely to be A) very nervous and B) hyper-willing to please. So there is the chance that as soon as you say, "Turn left," they may make an unsafe left turn, responding to your command without thinking, before you even have a chance to say, "... at the next corner." So FIRST you tell then when/where, then you say what to do.

I guess I'm the only one who noticed that a driving instructor got into a car that had NO rear view mirror and said nothing... priceless. But to be fair, those pesky things are generally missing anyway (and now after reading this you're never going to miss it again!!!)

[@ralphstreemkejr.]

I didn’t notice that, and I usually do! Good eye! I’ve seen the absence of many a rearview mirror on plenty of shows over several years, both comedies AND dramas. I’m guessing they do that so the mirror doesn’t obstruct the actors’ faces from the camera pointing at them from the ‘tow car’ in front that’s pulling them. Always a pet peeve of mine. Sometimes you actually see the little square mirror holder, all by itself with no mirror on it, stuck to the inside of the windshield where the mirror USED TO BE! How stupid that always looks! Hate that! I prefer a realistic look, and no rearview mirror definitely AIN’T THAT! Hey producers, just get a smaller mirror, and have the actors sit a little farther apart so the camera sees both their faces. But make sure there’s a frigging REARVIEW MIRROR! It looks ridiculous and unrealistic otherwise. Okay, I’m done now!

[@RRaquello]

@@ralphstreemkejr. It was artistic integrity vs. artistic license and they choose license. Anyway, it's only a movie so not something to worry too much about.

[@ralphstreemkejr.]

@@RRaquello Correct, nothing to worry about. But as a TV and movie buff, that always bugged me. Looks so stupid and fake. I haven’t seen many missing rearview mirrors in movies, but I’ve seen it in LOTS of TV shows. I guess film directors care more about realism and authenticity than TV directors do.
