Columbo the Complete Boxset [Blu-ray]

Product Information

Und heute: sechs kreisrunde Kunstoffscheibchen in einer Jewel-Case-Schutzhülle verstaut via Internet um ca. Since each episode runs almost 70-90 minutes, there are only ever 2-3 episodes to a disc ensuring a nice high healthy bitrate. The people producing these boxsets haven’t promised interviews or commentary from Spielberg or any of the stars who played murderers.

Peter Falk's Columbo is one of the all-time greatest American TV characters, and this is why he will always be remembered. Some episodes reveal density fluctuations that affect delineation and depth, so the consistency of the visuals is not the same across the board.Or in the case of the fifth season episode Identity Crisis, you got both Nielson and McGoohan (who also directed)!

And, in perhaps my favorite bit of stunt casting, Johnny Cash stars as a philandering gospel singer in “Swan Song,” where the man summarily dispatches his shrewish wife, played by Ida Lupino, in a rigged plane crash.

The first of several Peter Falk “Columbo” appearances on Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show”, 9/15/72: Falk on the couch wearing his raincoat: “Listen, Johnny, I don’t wanna plug the show…. Another of the show's trademarks was the high-profile stars who played its murderers, including John Cassavetes, Vera Miles, Martin Landau, Dick Van Dyke, Ruth Gordon, and Leonard Nimoy. Columbo, Peter Falk's rumpled TV detective, is coming to Blu-Ray this year, courtesy of Kino Lorber. Both portrayed detectives who didn't play by the rules, but Columbo of course had the "inverted mystery" structure, where the audience knew who did it at the very beginning, and the trick was showing how the detective worked his way backwards from the crime to implicate the murderer.

But he’s very natural and unforced on the roast, as befits someone who is quite comfortable in the character’s skin.The show has always been entertaining in any format, but it’s a real treat to watch the show looking so fresh. The DVDs switched to 16x9 with season 5, but honestly, I think S4 was also filmed protected for widescreen but Universal wasn't doing widescreen releases at the time they initially released that set.
