Motivational research specialist Doctor Bart Kepple is set to lose his job, so he plots the perfect crime, to murder Vincent Norris, his boss, dropping in so called subliminal clues to outwit Columbo.
This surely has to be one of the best paced, most well imagined episodes of the show, incredibly well plotted, it was great to see Columbo face off against an intelligent foe, one that for the most part keeps quiet, and forces Columbo to work.
The opening sequences were terrific, that plot twist with the caviar was fantastic, so well imagined, it really worked to grab your attention.
Columbo is at his most irritating, if you were Kepple, you'd half expect him to pop up when you're in the bath, he's everywhere.
Robert Culp is excellent as Kepple, played the part very well, great scenes between the pair.
8/10.
