It is superb - Falk’s presence and timing are impeccable. I like Burke’s Law too from that era - the black and white ones not the colour ones - not the same for the sharpness but great for panache and humour and guest performances. Both make you feel incredibly ‘good inside’. On the English side so does ‘Danger Man’.

What is NOT conveyed - and deliberately so - is that the C.I.A. operative is not shown to be arrested. As back in those days, any U.S. governmental agent involved in ANY questionable ( implied ) activity/outcome would have been subjected for review by the featured U.S. agency for approval. Apparently the C.I.A. objected to any scene showing the guilty agent even suggestively placed under arrest.

If you’re a Columbo officionado like me, as I suspect that you are, you will probably know that McGoohan played the murderer no less than four times in different episodes of Columbo down through the years. Peter Falk and Patrick McGoohan were old friends. He also worked as a director and even wrote the script for one episode so he had considerable in put into the show for a large chunk of its duration.

Great observation! Another actor would have not yet seen his mistake. Patrick, the master strategist, knew he messed up and he knew that Columbo knew that he knew. But it seems he enjoys playing the cat and mouse until the bitter end. Great interplay between two great actors.

@i.m.9918 3 года назад

But…. is it not reasonable for the Patrick McGoohan character to say he simply heard ‘rumors’ of a potential Chinese pull out from the Olympics? Something that is entirely plausible in his trade? This would seemingly gut Colombo’s assertion of him knowing something that had not been formally announced. McGoohan could even say he ‘speculated’ … given the meta-politics. Is this ‘really’ a court-worthy revelation of guilt? ??

@keith6706 3 года назад

@@i.m.9918 As Columbo said, absolutely no one expected them to do that, so someone making a joking reference to it, even someone who had inside information, would be met by confusion on the part of his listeners who'd have no idea what he was going on about.

I first saw Patrick McGoohan in 1985 on Broadway -- he was doing a play called "Pack of Lies" with Rosemary Harris. I was 18 years old and had no idea who he was. But I was riveted by his performance (in which he played, like in this episode, a spy.) He was a joy to watch -- just as he was in all of his TV and film roles, from "Columbo" and "Danger Man" to "Braveheart" and "A Time to Kill." One of the great underrated actors of the 20th century.

His will to put up a fight was mysteriously gone. After all, Columbo`s "evidence" is a phrase in which the bandit says: "(the Chinese) may pull out of the Olympics, but not of soy beans!" He says "may pull", not "may have pulled". He could always argue that the rumour was in the air that they MIGHT pull out in the near future, even if it had not happened yet. That would leave Columbo completely naked! In fact, I'm sure his lawyer would say so in the courtroom; as usual, Columbo is aided by the not-so-clever murderers, always ready to dig their own graves!

Patrick McGoohan played the bad guy in several episodes. This is my second favorite, my favorite is "By Dawn's Early Light" filmed at the Citadel. I attended a military academy and the episode was simply brilliant in the way it depicted life there and McGoohan as Col. Rumford was spot-on in his depiction of a devoted military man and educator (he won an Emmy for that performance!). McGoohan played in 4 Columbo episodes but also worked on the show as a writer, director and producer of several episodes. In fact, he directed this particular episode and filled it with references to "The Prisoner" where he played "Number 6", the role for which he is perhaps best remembered.

Patrick McGoohan was absolutely brilliant in this scene. His voice, delivery, demeanor - cant be bestest.

@somegirl558 2 года назад

This guy terryfies me. He is a brilliant actor. He played at least three different characters I remember and none I could recognize until some point... What a mask.

It’s so amazing how much fun both actors are having, so funny, but most of all - so well done, Patrick McGoohans voice is so striking, amazing

Colombo videos are great to watch in any era. Patrick McGoohan likewise. Another great actor.

There's so much I love about 'Columbo'. One thing that sticks out is that he can't be intimidated. If I remember correctly, even the Director of the CIA tried to get him to back off in this episode. Nope. Not Columbo. As far as the acting, they played it perfectly, trying to outwit each other at every turn.

You could tell these two were always having fun. I think they were having a little too much fun in 'Ashes to Ashes' but that can be forgiven because they are the magical two of the show.

What I really enjoy about this scene, and colombo's character, is sometimes Columbo confronts the killer, and he talks almost apologetically because the killer is certainly not as smart as him. But on this occasion, he's dealing with someone who is very intelligent and very devious, so Colombo is very very careful in what he is saying, with almost a deadly calmness and precision. Terrific! Work by Peter Falk, who by the way was good friends with Patrick McGoohan off screen

Have to appreciate not just Patrick McGoohan who was always outstanding, but all the high end television and motion picture talent making those great guest villain performances.

@javiergilvidal1558 4 года назад

Not so smooth; Brenner's will to put up a fight was mysteriously gone in a second. After all, Columbo`s "evidence" is a phrase in which the bandit says: "(the Chinese) may pull out of the Olympics, but not of soy beans!" He says "may pull", not "may have pulled". Brenner could always argue that the rumour was in the air that they MIGHT pull out in the near future, even if it had not happened yet. That would leave Columbo completely naked! In fact, I'm sure Brenner's lawyer would say so in the courtroom; as usual, Columbo is aided by the not-so-clever murderers, always ready to dig their own graves!

The line "What made you stay on it" makes me feel like McGoohan improvised it on the spot. It's such a sophisticated line.

This and "Ashes to Ashes" are two of my favourite episodes of "Columbo"!!! You could see, Falk and McGoohan enjoyed, playing against one another. Of course, any of the episodes, with Jack Cassidy, are included!!!
