Eric Wagner, The owner of a football club is killed in his swimming pool, his murderer makes it look like an accident, Columbo smells a rat.
I think this is a pretty great episode, it's excellent, one of the most clever mysteries I can think of, a real mind twister.
If you're a sports fan, I think you'll find some extra enjoyment here, which of us hasn't felt like owners of our favourite clubs haven't run them into thr ground, or fleeced them, fortunately extremes like this aren't on the cards.
The visuals are nothing short of breathtaking, the scenes from those hills, stunning.
I had to laugh, Columbo is constantly surrounded by athletic, built up guys, and there he is, in his raincoat, cigar on his top lip. Check out those extras, they earned their wages.
Robert Culp is excellent here, he's somewhat petulant, a little temperamental, but definitely convincing as the villain of the piece.
9/10.
