@GeneralSirDouglasMcA Год назад

Yes agreed, there were many angles to this. The brother was wrong about Peter, and was mostly right about Beth. Apparently, Beth’s actions and decision-making in the past had led to the family’s overbearing protection. Of course, I still think they went a bit overboard at the beginning of episode. Threatening to fire Beth’s fiancé was taking it a bit too far.

'Airplane' brought out the intense woodenness of Leslie Nielsen's pre-1980 television and movie performances in wide-screen glory. To the actor's (and no doubt his bank account) credit, he fully embraced the new self-mocking image and made a nice name-above-the-title autumn Hollywood career as Lt. Frank Drebin, Mr. Magoo, Dracula, a comical Richard 'The Fugitive' Kimble parody, et al. Godspeed, Mr. Nielsen.

Susan Clark was the wife of Alex Karras who was a four-time Pro Bowl player with the Detroit Lions, where he played from 1958 to 1970. As an actor, Karras played Mongo in the 1974 comedy film Blazing Saddles. He also starred as George Papadopolis, the adoptive father of Webster Long (Emmanuel Lewis), in the ABC sitcom Webster (1983-1989) along with his wife Susan. They were married in 1980 and remained so until Alex's death in 2012.

Mongo is great. An unforgettable character, such that if you ask someone who has probably seen Blazing Saddles, even decades ago, if they remember Mongo, without naming the movie, many people will name Blazing Saddles. Can I remember any other character name, even Gene Wilder's character - no. (Sisko kid, maybe? )

I laughed out loud at your description of Beth's boardroom outfit. I have to admit I kind of like how bold and outlandish it is, and how it matches her bold and outlandish behavior in that scene. No one in that room can believe their eyes and neither can the viewer. Somehow it all works.

@RyKinder Год назад

In regards to your sentiment of “Beth didn’t need to murder her brother” because she could have gone off with Peter anyway: I think the motive of it just being that she wanted to be with Peter was a slight misdirect. I think her true intention was primarily to take over the family company. This is why she had her car ordered in advance because she anticipated being a new position of power. Additionally, even if we were to believe that it was about Peter… her brother put it into her head that nobody would love her for her, that any suitor would be after her for her position in life. This put doubts in her head that Peter actually loved her. So she figures if she runs the company, even if he’s only after her because of that - he’d be less inclined to leave her if she ran the company. Also she likely figured he’d love her more if she promoted him because her brothers words obviously stuck with her and she assumed he might be right.

@WatchitforDays Год назад

Very well thought out, Ryan. This is a good hypothesis and deeper than I give the episode credit for. Thank you for sharing, I loved reading your thoughts!

@radzewicz Год назад

Interesting theory. They never developed this idea in the episode but it does go a long way towards explaining where the prior car order came from, which to me seemed to have come out of nowhere, and in explaining how she was able to jump quickly to the proposition that maybe Peter wasn't the right man for her after all. I didnt like your theory at first but on second consideration it does explain a few things in her personality, including how she was able to point her gun at Columbo, that it wasnt all about Peter, it was about control. Fits with the title too. Very interesting.. Good one.

This episode just aired on the Hallmark channel this past week during a Columbo marathon, which sent me down a rabbit hole of watching Columbo episodes on Prime. I think what really stood out about this episode, despite the flaws, was Beth. Of this first season, Beth is the most interesting and memorable female character so far, and Susan Clarke plays her with a wonderfully insane intensity. I love it. Thank you for this witty and detailed recap. I really enjoyed it!

@Jamietheroadrunner 4 месяца назад

I just saw “Feud: Capote vs the Swans” and I’m wondering if this episode was actually based on ‘the shooting of the century’, the murder of a NYC socialite by his wife Ann Woodward, who claimed that she thought her husband was a burglar when she shot and killed him in the middle of the night. He was about to divorce her so people were suspicious, lol. Grand jury refused to indict and her mother-in-law was horrified by the publicity and wanted it all to go away, so people think she might have also helped her elude justice, even tho she always hated her.

Lady In Waiting is one of my favorite Columbos, and your review of it is so much fun. I love how you catch small details I've never noticed, such as the GM keys on Bryce's key ring. The production could have used someone with your attention to detail, because those keys should have instead been FoMoCo keys for his 71 Lincoln Continental. And since you mentioned Edna's Continental in Suitable for Framing, I can't help but offer more Continental trivia. Edna's Continental is also Paul Williams' car in Ransom for a Dead Man. Maybe Edna bought it from Leslie.

@beatlesfansam 2 года назад

This episode ranks up there for me, and I really enjoyed your review of it. I thought that Susan Clark and Leslie Nielsen both had strong performances in their respective roles. Beth's metamorphosis both in terms of appearance and behavior was remarkable, and Susan Clark did a great job there. Nielsen was good in a more understated role as someone who clearly loves Beth but is having a difficult time understanding her changes as the episode progresses. The scene with him and Columbo at the drive-in diner was great, and also demonstratea the trust that begins to build between them and eventually ends up helping him crack the case. Beth started out as a sympathetic character, and even though her behavior as the episode progressed made it difficult to feel that way about her, in a way I could understand her acting out like that after years of being repressed and not supported by her family. It wasn't just her father and Bryce, but even her mother, as the face slap scene demonstrates. Like you, at first I thought Beth's "are you really?" comment was about Columbo being married rather than his compulsive nature. The most humorous part of your review was when you described Beth's boardroom scene outfit - "as well as some furniture upholstery for a jacket" 🤣 I also loved the "Airplane!" references you threw in throughout.

@@WatchitforDays Thanks! One other thing that occurred to me (one more thing ... 😉). During the boardroom scene, where Beth is talking to Peter after Columbo left, she said "well if I've changed it's because I thought you'd like a more exciting woman". I wonder if part of her metamorphosis was a reaction to what Bryce said to her about Peter only being interested in her for the money, and as a result she was trying to be more edgy to please Peter (even though in reality that's not something she needed to do).

Over the years of watching and rewatching Columbo episodes is I've noticed two recurring patterns. You see it in most episodes if you are looking for it. There is usually some dialog where the victim trash talks the murderer. For this episode it's the scene that you pointed out where Bryce basically says Beth is a big loser and why would her bf be interested in anything but her money. The other pattern is the murderer trash talking Columbo before the big finish.

And it's always a bigger treat to see Leslie Nielsen in a serious role, the man had some incredible range. I can see why Columbo never warmed up to Beth, the woman is a walking iceberg, no redeeming qualities whatsoever. I had the same thought about Columbo appaarently entering Beth's house in the end without proof of a warrant (something he likes to flash a lot in the series) but we can give our boy just a little leeway, right?

Good afternoon! I came across your your channel by accident (as it came up on my feed). I am a HUGE fan of Columbo (my late grandmother and I would watch them together). When I would be at work, she would record them on VHS for me and, even, edit the commercials out as well. When I got home, we would watch them together so this show holds a special place in my heart. I was hooked on your channel after watching your first review and have been binge-watching them all ever since! You do an outstanding job and I'm, very much, looking forward to many others from you! Universal should hire you to do commentaries for the dvds as you are very concise, humorous, and in my humble opinion, have all of your facts together when you present these for us all to enjoy. Again, thank you for all that you do and I will be buying some of your soap! Uh, excuse me ma'am, just one more thing...don't mean to be a bother to ya...I will be buying some of your soap as well!

@WatchitforDays 2 года назад

What an incredible comment you left me! Thank you for sharing that sweet story about your grandmother and you enjoying Columbo together. Those are special memories! I appreciate your wonderful kindness you've shared with me full of encouragement! Thank you very much! Thank you for considering a purchase from my soap shop, too! I need to make some Columbo themed soaps soon so I can entice my Columbo fans to buy some soap 😊🫧

I love lady in waiting. I also love how you’re using Airplane! Funny, I’m not sure I remember a single episode of Columbo that shows blood other than Blueprint for Murder when blood was discovered on a Western Hat… later in the 1989 revival, they showed plenty of blood. The building where Peter Falk and Leslie Nielsen are eating the hamburgers, was at the time called, Tasty Freeze.. malts and shakes were their specialty.

@WatchitforDays 2 года назад

I remember we see a little blood on the Troubled Waters episode when the singing lady got shot in the back. I just like having a little fun with all the bloodless murders :)

@lesliemonteiro6157 10 месяцев назад

From watching this movie, my first takeaway was the Chadwicks were such a dysfunctional family. I love the sarcasm that you had for Beth's mother. I never in my wildest dreams thought that same Susan Clark in Columbo was actually one of the main characters on Webster. She was tremendous on Webster, and she was great in this Columbo episode. Leslie Nielsen was not really Leslie Nielsen that we grew to love in this Columbo episode. He was so dull in this episode. It was like he was just there in this movie. BTW, I love how you mix Leslie's scenes from the Naked Gun to compare and contrast the Leslie we grew to love to the obscure Leslie in Columbo. Columbo and the dog interacting was my favorite part of the episode. How about Columbo being so poised when Beth tried to shoot him. Nice job mentioning and including this factioid about Peter Falk being a diva. I never thought he would do this again.

Your sharp-eyed/eared observations and wry comments make for a solid entertainment! :) . In keeping with the comedic elements of the series, the studio should consider adding your posts as a special feature on any episode reissue. Perhaps you should arrange a pitch meeting! Re those extras with hundreds of uncredited roles, surely the pay couldn't be such that they could earn a living that way. But for those in their working years, how could they have such flexibility in their schedules to be so available? I think there's a script potential with such a main character having this occupation as a central component. A comedy perhaps? And perhaps you should bring this idea and/or a script outline to your pitch meeting? :)

Though Bryce was a bit harsh, but he honestly was right to keep his sister in line, he was sadly wrong about Peter Hamilton. However, once you find out the reigns were gone from her, she turns out to be more vicious, far more nasty, and certainly shows us why her Brother and her Father before, had concerns about her. Honestly, I think had Bryce and Peter had a chance to talk man to man, and Beth hadn't tried this hairbrained scheme, perhaps a real understanding would have been found and the conflict settled.
