Does anybody remember the episode in which Colombo, with the opportunity to dine at Chasen's in Hollywood / Beverly Hills, is so bewildered by the selection and shocked by the prices, that he gives up and says something like, "I don't know, just give me a bowl of Chili (for which the restaurant is known worldwide)? Great example of an inside joke.

I don't think I've ever seen Columbo show fear before. That is, until he met Mrs. Peck. That lady was terrifying and she wasn't even the murderer. The most interesting part of this episode was Columbo's interactions with a thoroughly unhinged Mrs. Peck. The scene where Dexter Paris ropes Columbo into appearing on his cooking show was also delightful. As @columbophile on Twitter informs me, legend has it that scene was adlibbed.

The murder plot was incredibly complex, thought up by a member of the Sigma Society (high IQ organization like Mensa), and not only did Columbo crack it, but he set the murderer up to give himself away. Excellent acting by Theodore Bikel (who was actually a member of Mensa). It also guest starred Sorrell Booke (Boss Hogg in Dukes of Hazzard) in a short (and delightful) turn as the murder victim, Bertie Hastings.

Some highlights:

 

The excellent montage where clips of the murder are reflected in the murderer's (Culp's) glasses.

 

Columbo asking the golf pro for lessons, talking through the whole thing, and then crushing the ball like a golf pro, much to the amazement of the pro.

 

When Ray Milland's character discusses the good fortune that the murderer's car wouldn't start, Columbo soon after mentions tricks the guys in his neighborhood used to play, such as stuffing potatoes in tailpipes, leaving Milland to wonder if he had something to do with it. ;)

 

What are your favorite moments from this episode?
