Columbo's little wry smile when he says" well you must have heard something..."

[@drstanfordfblade]

When Columbo says he can’t get a handle on the case, he has a handle on the case...

[@michaellorusso4912]

+Stanford Blade: Has this been confirmed ?

[@chiensyang]

This meant Columbo saw the holes within the alleged murderer's alibi. Columbo needed the alleged murderer's to clarify the alibi so Columbo could either clear the alleged murderer or catch the alleged murderer's lies.

[@Aethelhald]

When he says he can't get a handle on the case he's actually saying "I know you did it, I don't know how you did it... but I have a rough idea."

[@dinky19810]

That fact that columbo comes back to the house around the same time when the murder took place and reenact the scene makes him the most brilliant detective to ever do it.

[@bishopaz]

That look Columbo gives when the guy goes on his rant. He knows he did it.

[@Romulan2469]

Columbo knows he's got him. The little details and inconsistencies bother Columbo and you just know that he's already figured out how to finally get this guy.

[@phdtobe]

When at the end of this clip when Columbo hears the killer’s excuse for why the door could have opened on its own, he turns his face away with a look of calm disgust and expectant incredulity.

Oskar Werner was great here playing the murderer. I only wish he played the murderer in more Columbo episodes along with Roddy McDowell or Ross Martin who also only played the villain once.

[@preving]

Agree. He was a fantastic actor!

[@mortalclown3812]

It must've been wonderful being a part of these episodes: Actors, directors, etc. Btw, Norman Lloyd only directed one, and he's still alive at 105. Imagine that.

[@bobbyfrancis8957]

@@mortalclown3812 Not much longer.

[@halholbrookspussy]

According to those who were there, Oskar Werner was a raging alcoholic who gave the COLUMBO production team more trouble than any other guest actor. He threatened to quit, didn't show up to the set at times, and also threatened to leave the country during filming. The fact that they got the show done at all was, apparently, a miracle. This according to anecdotes of those who were there.

[@kkarx]

@@halholbrookspussy Cool story

[@mortalclown3812]

Werner's alcoholism would kill him. His photos prior to his death in 1984, just 9 years after filming this episode, are almost unrecognizable.

[@diamondhands8505]

In almost every episode there is a moment when Columbo knows he has his murderer- sometimes when he whistles sometimes with just a look 😗😉

"i don't like guns" i love that line reminds me when Columbo has to take a gun shooting test and doesn't everything he can to not take that test

[@CorndogMaker]

The only time in the series that the detective ever fires a gun. But it's better than any action series

[@SuperBajafresh]

He said he hates guns. I concur.

[@РомаПетров-ж1н]

While watching I thought why would he asked another officer for a gun, when we know he carries his one (when he introduced himself as an insurance agent it was pointed out). Then I realized he just don't want to clean after usage. X)

"Is the safety on or off!" It's like a mechanic saying, "Could you point the wheels out for me!"

I really like this scene, for me, it shows - just for once - Columbo really stuck. He never brings an officer with him unless he's planning on arresting a suspect and here he thinks he has his man only for the suspect to wriggle his way out of it with a contrived but logical excuse. Great great writing!!!

[@martinfinn1550]

Yes it did open as a result of Columbo's shot and at timecode 3:12 one can see it automatically closing again.

[@davidalexander3320]

It really didnt though. In the end it was the ticket still on the table in the video that did it. The door thing didnt really make a difference. They cant even prove the noise that she heard and that opened the door came from downstairs. It could have come from outside her window for all they know.

[@johnfinnegan8474]

If the noise came from outside why didn't the security guard hear and investigate it, not to mention her husband who was still in the house at the time? It would be an amazing coincidence if a noise came from outside her window loud enough enough to have opened her bedroom came around the same time her mother was shot. Detectives like Columbo are not to big on coincidences when it comes to murder.

@Angie H. Indeed it is; I've been on a Columbo binge recently, and he's in EVERY video posting irrelevant quotes, often just the same Tennesee Williams one over and over again. What's the point?

[@jeffzest8393]

The 4:3 aspect ratio of Peacock is incorrect. No bars should exist at the top and bottom, just the sides. To see how done correctly, view Columbo on Amazon Prime (however, Amazon Prime does not have latter episodes, and after the third season the episodes are not in HD).

[@patrickjohnson5658]

I remember on regular TV broadcasts years ago there were slight bars on the top and the bottom of the picture as well as on the sides. The solution was to set the ratio setting on the television set to 14:9 aspect ratio to eliminate the top and bottom bars and reduce the side bars width by half. If there was heavy bars on the top and bottom of the screen as well as the sides, then I would select "cinema zoom" to eliminate them.

[@jeffzest8393]

@@patrickjohnson5658 That distorts the picture. Whoever encoded this should go back and fix the aspect ratio. I have had complaints on a few of my videos that had an incorrect aspect, and I would back and uploaded the correct ratio.

[@patrickjohnson5658]

@@jeffzest8393 Not on my TV it didn't. My 14:9 zoom selector zoomed the picture horizontally and vertically in proportion, not just horizontally. I have never seen peacock so I am just wondering is the actual picture there in normal proportion apart from the bars at the top and bottom? If the picture is not in proportion to begin with 14:9 aspect zoom won't bring it into proportion.

[@johnfinnegan8474]

When I first saw this scene many years ago I couldn't help wondering why didn't the murderer use a silencer on the gun? After all his wife was sleeping upstairs and the shot could have awoken her and she could have checked the time, and it would not match the time when the security guard said he saw the shooting on the monitor, and her husband said he had left the house for the gallery.

That box of sand must have been about 25 kg. at least. No way the officer could have carried it like that.

[@thedriveway8297]

The bit with the revolver could have been a good line for emphasizing Columbo's deliberate lack of firearm use ~ All the officer had to say was: "It's a double-action revolver, Lieutenant, it doesn't have or need a safety."

[@patrickjohnson5658]

The guard should have been observant enough to realise the shooting on his security monitor was just a video recording. The giveaway was that it had video dropouts typical of analogue video tape recordings of of the period. If it was just a live feed direct from the security camera it would not have any distortions or signal dropouts on it.

I have been wondering that too so I looked into it further. It is because Peacock, the new streaming service of NBCUniversal who also own the rights to Columbo, has only been launched since mid April this year in the US and is currently only available there due to broadcast rights issues. Using a VPN on your device to disguise which country you are in and make it look like you are in the US might work.

If, as he claims, he doesn't like guns . . why didn't Columbo get the cop to shoot the gun ? . . and he could've gone up the stairs to do what the other cop did. THAT would've made more sense . . Don'tcha think ?

[@johnfinnegan8474]

Not really. Maybe there was a clue at 2:53 where Columbo asks the suspect did he want to put his hand in his ears because the shot would be very loud, and he replies he can handle it. So that was a clue to Columbo maybe the reason he could handle it was because he used a gun before in the house and knew how loud the shot would be.

It is rare. The only other episode I recall Columbo firing off a gun was in the cruise ship episode with Robert Vaughn as the murderer, when he fires the murder gun into an old mattress so he could extract the bullet, to compare with another bullet he found in the ships laundry room I think it was, to see if they matched the same gun.

[@artmallory970]

iirc in one ep. Columbo fires a gun into a water tank so they can check it for ballistics

The house is meant to be a high tech gadget house because Mrs Van Wyck is wheelchair bound, they establish pretty hard in the episode that clapping your hands opens a door, Columbo was pointing out that her bedroom door opened because the loud gunshot sounded (to the door) like a softer (normal) clap

@@abisnow1843 Ah, I missed that bit.

[@fobwatchful]

I don't understand this one. Why should a sound make a door open? Maybe a change in air pressure would if a door is not shut completely, but a sound? Also why should it open when Columbo claps his hands like he does from INSIDE the room?

[@nethansingbeil356]

I'm not sure that this is the right answer, but the wife is bound to the wheelchair, and the reason why the murderer spends so much money is to make her life as simple as possible. So, by making the door open to sound, it saves the complexity of the wife having to open the door when it is hard for her to do so. I hope this is the answer you were looking for.

[@jllore1917]

Mr. Van Wyck was a gadget expert. The house was transformed this way because of his wife being in a wheelchair. All of the doors in the house opened by a clap of the hand.
