Viewing Notes

Another episode of Columbo listed as a film on TMDb. Guessing because of John Cassavetes? Looks like Myrna Loy is also present. I’ve watched all of Season 1, Season 3 and still working thru S5 and S6. This is Season 2 opener so it’s longer (the opening ep is always longer 90+ minutes. Seems like one ep per season has been added to TMDb as its own thing. Weird bc Season 3 has some killer guest stars like Vincent Price and Donald Pleasence.

Anyways, in this ep John Cassavetes is the murderous orchestra conductor! He’s great but the story is just okay. Not a great season opener.
