Framed By Fingerprints | Columbo 

I noticed however I didn't know what he had planned. That was definitely Epic!

@@elenawhyte9570 I owned a very heavy almost all-metal VCR at the time. I rewound that scene and just couldn't believe I missed it.

@@hblanche thanks for sharing that with me. Okay, I have to tell you my secret. I've got the collection on DVD and I watched that scene 77 * times. Am I crazy or am I a fan???

@@elenawhyte9570 I too own DVD's of every Columbo episode. Yes, we are both fans but we're definitely not crazy. :^)

@@hblanche I feel so much better now, thank you Henri!! Watching these DVDs especially now helps to keep my mind off what's globally happening with the pandemic. Glad we're both fans and not crazies!! Stay safe and be healthy!!

Love whenever there's a "killer tries to get Columbo taken off the case" plotline. None of them can imagine that another well-connected criminal has tried the same thing before! I bet Columbo's superiors are pretty bored of that trick. And of course Columbo, via Falk, plays the hapless flop perfectly. "Aw gee, they took me off da case..."

Don't forget the episode whereby the Police commissioner (Columbo's own boss) kills his wife and takes him off the case, or at least tries to misdirect him.

One two lettered response to the reveal of those gloves: HA!

For some reason I really love the 'yeah' at 7:15 too.

And what about the lawyer, Mr. Simpson (Don Ameche)? -- from the will reading scene, we know he thought something was suspicious, so he was probably just playing along as well, not letting on to Kingston that he was about to get caught.

they mocked him lmao

That’s why I came back

It's so good, but you can't help but think. Can we prove it? No. Oh.....

Terrific acting across the board

Superbly acted. I keep watching this over and over. Everytime it pops up as a suggestion I can't help but watch it.

@@mrbillradio Exactly. I must have watched it 50 times.

And so did I!

My all time favorite Columbo episode. Have watched it on a loop at times!

And his absolutely brilliant acting! Superb.

The interesting thing is had Columbo not been so thorough, Kingston could STILL have got away with it - or at least, used what few defenses he had to buy himself a bit more time. Columbo gradually pares away his remaining counter-arguments until he has nothing left. It's like watching an amazing game of chess - Columbo carefully removes anything he could use, then the reveal of the gloves is the checkmate.

R.I.P. him and Peter Falk

It's the wordless sputtering at the end that really seals it.

got to love when the bad guy thinks they've gt rid of Columbo by getting him kicked from the case only to find out actually he was never kicked

When they try to get Columbo off the case that makes them even more suspicious so they keep him on the case

I like how the look on everyone's faces when Columbo said no we're not looking for your finger prints and how Kingston face looked when Columbo pulled his hands out of his pockets with gloves on

We know what you thought, Mr Kingston! That was awesome.

That's the guy with the third eye in the Twilight Zone episode.

Hell yeah, it's always brilliant when the murderer tries to frame someone else and Columbo just ignores the false trail.

Kim Hunter was very well cast as the nerve-wracked Aunt Edna. Around this same time (fall 1971), she also had a good role in an episode of 'Cannon', playing the widow of a private-investigator friend of the title character.

@Ron MacKinnon She also played Dr. Zira in the movie planet of the apes.

Yes, it's ironic. A drowning man will clutch at straws.

That's not what entrapment means...?

Didn't realise that. Yeah respect to them all forget how old Colombo is. What an ending - superb stuff.!!

:(

Yeah, that was 50 years ago.

it was filmed 267 years ago

@@vborovikov LOL

And a fantastic actor

I love this episode too. Only thing as I was watching it I felt weird. It is like Columbo arrested Artemus Gordon. from The Wild Wild West. I always liked him

@Andrew Heller I have seen them all, Iove all of them

Aren't they all??? They think they planned it all so perfectly but their egos do them in all the time. spoilers: The last one in 2003 hide the body in his club how arrogant do you have to be!!! Right under his nose.

Sure but the real crime is that shirt and tie combo. The 70s were great.

+2bhonest: Has this been confirmed ?

"Are you calling me liar?!"

Sharp as a tack

He had the gloves on because he was secretly making plastic dollies in his secret laboratory in Colorado..😁😁🎈🎈🎈🛸🛸🛸🛸🐸🐸🐸

@@TheKonga88 I'm sure you're joking but I seriously think that he had those gloves on because the steering wheel of his car was very hot that day. What an amazingly wonderful coincidence!

@@jeprice08 He has 2,178 moon pies in his pockets. 🌕🌕🌙🌙🌙🌃🌛🌜🐭🐭🐸😂😂😂😂😂

@@TheKonga88 That's another joke! You got anymore?

@@jeprice08 Your volleyball is named Wilson and you painted his face with your blood. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👽👽🐸

@@lewisner That one got me to laugh. Good one.

To be chased by Colombo is like being nibbled to death by a duck. - Peter Falk

yer columbo storys were always like the turtle and the hair, he seems way behind the murder always feet a foot and thinking ahead but he catches them in there hast every time.

@@lewisner there is an episode where he is on a holiday cruise and he solves a murder on the ship ! , he never rests ! , its called troubled waters , greaat episode !

There is one thing you could do.....you could hire Perry Mason to defend you.

Damn right! Take that Sherlock!

That's not even a serious debate.

No contest! Ever since I started this excellent series I feel like I compare it to every other crime show and Columbo is always on top

You are too damn Right Bob, THE BEST EVER.

Totally agree, a total one off

You got it George, the look of surprise on Mr. Martin's face is epic. I agree, my favorite Columbo episode too.

Mine as well!

I went back to watch it again to see his hands stayed in his pockets.

I love how Kingston's elaborate plot to frame his aunt turned into his own trap! 😁

Yes, Ross Martin was a fine actor.

@Angie H. Give yourselves some point credit. You Americans created this superb show - the best detective series of a very good set.

@Angie H. "With a few exceptions, Shakespeare did not invent the plots of his plays." (Encyclopaedia B.) Yet who would belittle his genius for that?

It's right up there with the episode with Robert Conrad playing Milo Janus.

Kingston killed two people in this episode so at least Columbo can prove he killed one person .

Chris Evans. That was his own raincoat too

thx for stating the obvious

Exactly. I love Peter Falk's character. There could never be another Columbo. I was heartbroken when I found out he had passed away.

i keep hearing rumors that they want to remake this first it as was Mark Ruffalo then i hear with a female Columbo but i say no there is and always will be one Columbo and that is Peter Falks and also a new show just wouldn't work for one big reason you can't have Columbo without his cigar and with how the would is now that is never going to happen you can't smoke anywhere (i don't smoke)

@@jonnyrubberman : Metaphorically, to hazard a remake would be like trying to fart against thunder. Leave it as it is - for immortality.

Genius!

Yea I thought I was the only one who say that. I’m like y’all just going to leave that their 🤣🤣

@Banglatron hi Banglatron o/

Don't forget that Kim Hunter also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for A Streetcar Named Desire.

ohhhhhhhhh yeah,,,,,,,,,,,,zira......yes yes ......i never would of guessed that......you made the penny drop..........kerrrrrrrching lol........

YES!!! KIM HUNTER!! STELLLLLLLA!!!

💫✨ @@henriettaparks586 YESSSS! 🤩 GR8! 💫✨

Hunter's planet of the apes co star 'Roddy M'is in the episode 'short fuse'

The villian's face when he heard that Columbo was in charge of the investigation. 😯

Actually it might surprise you that Columbo's car is a 1959 Peugeot 403 cabriolet. Only 504 convertibles were manufactured that year. So it's a very rare classic car. Although even today it doesn't have much value as far as collectability, it's still a classic (even more so as being Columbo's car)

i have to tie up loose ends ...........

@Daniel Johnston tying up loose ends, something bothering him

Notice how anyone that says they’re “sorry to bother you“ isn’t sorry to bother you at all...they’re not one teeny tiny bit sorry.

@@foundgrace82 I was in the neighborhood!

lol

Crestfallen!!

I hope you understand the full import of what you're saying. There are witnesses here.

😆 😆 😆 He had the trembling lip and everything.

That look of horror on his face is great. He KNEW it was over for him.

O J must have watched this episode .!

Or at the end of his sleeve in this case!

Was almost like columbo was telling him fu

@@execatty m

Epic line and look....

Haha that look was really uncharacteristic of Columbo but it was funny as hell!

+Wallace Riggs: Has this been confirmed ?

Diane Crowder 3

He said "we are looking for your fingerprints" get it right....

No Columbo said 'I'm not looking for your fingerprints, I'm looking for MINE'.

That moment when columbo drops the mic

that's right YOUR fingerprints....heh,heh

Yeah it was, I have 56 gb collection , all 10 Season from pilot movie 'Prescription Murder' 1968. to 'Columbo likes the nightlife' 2003.

They don’t make detective shows like this anymore. One of the best endings ever.

Agreed.

Must have been a prominent part of the prop dept at Universal Studios !

Michael Bryant 💜

The takedowns were legendary but even more so because how both episodes the killers were particularly snobby and looked down on, mocked and laughed at Columbo more than any of the others and Columbo seemed to have an extra sense of joy being smug while showboating his epic skills in the take downs. Made it all the sweeter

Michael Bryant, Thx I’ll have to check those out

Man looks like he's about to start bawling

That show was in early 70’s Martin died in 81

@stangmaster 2 ..he died 10 years after this episode.

Yes he did! He was totally genuine. I forget that he's acting here and he's really devastated and scared.

Nothing foolish about that.

I'm not happy that Netflix stop showing it.

Eli

nothing foolish about that at all el

Got the complete DVD boxset myself. Love Columbo

I have 56 gb collection , all 10 Season from pilot movie 'Prescription Murder' 1968. to 'Columbo likes the nightlife' 2003.

rich cuadra If they were to show this to the kids over in America these days? They would be screaming "Look we were right, it's nothing but white privileged rich folk flaunting off their wealthy paintings & he was gonna frame her for it & that's how women are kept down by men & we are gonna continue to blame our problems on the white rich folk in Colombo films" 😂 It's nothing but rich, white, racist, misogynist, homophobic bla bla bla. This would be like kryptonite to them. It's their nightmare staring back at them. It's sad but it's true. Love the Colombo films by the way. Got the box set as a present & haven't watched any of them in awhile. Hooked on watching the bits n pieces on this channel.

the patrolman was black

Thank you have a great day

Somebody is having a shitty life.

I always liked Columbo and McCloud best when they were on NBC Mystery Movie. They were part of 3 TV shows that rotated each week (along with McMillan & Wife)! Later they added Banacek to the "wheel."

+Killing DeadThings: Has this been confirmed ?

@@michaellorusso4912 hope not

Yes he is dead :( he was a legend

Yes, a great line, "I don't even live here." Then Columbo explains how he rented the place that morning and changed the details on the file so that only the Commissionaire knew where the suspect lived.

Friend in deed has always been my favorite, but I have to say this one is super and the one with George Hamilton and the "eyewitness"
