Ausgewählte Rezension

8/10

"Agenda for Murder" (1990)

PLOT: A slick attorney (Patrick McGoohan) murders a blackmailer who threatens his political aspirations, making it look like a suicide. Columbo smells something fishy and targets the underhanded lawyer. Denis Arndt plays his buddy, a congressman with hopes of becoming Vice President.

COMMENTARY: McGoohan appeared as the antagonist in two prior episodes, "By Dawn's Early Light" (1974) and "Identity Crisis" (1975) and would return for the forthcoming "Ashes to Ashes" (1998). There's just something about his chemistry with Peter Falk that almost guarantees a quality installment, and so it is here. It's one of the better latter-day segments.

Wissenswertes
Third of four appearances by Patrick McGoohan as a murderer in the Columbo series. The other episodes are: Des Teufels Corporal (1974) (as Col. Rumford), Tod am Strand (1975) (as Intelligence agent Nelson Brenner), and Das Aschenpuzzle (1998) (as funeral company owner Eric Prince). Moreover, McGoohan directed this episode.

Patzer
Despite the fact that Finch and Mackey have been involved in criminal law for 20 years in Los Angeles, neither has heard of Lt. Columbo. It seems likely that the detective's reputation for busting murderers would have preceded him, and alarmed the suspects, particularly Finch, straight off.

Zitate
Lt. Columbo: "There was this Jewish lady walking down Beverly Drive, and coming the other way, this flasher guy in his overcoat. When he gets up to her, he whips open the coat. She looks at him and says, 'You call that a lining?'"
