फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
With the destruction of his career a strong possibility, Anders hatches a mostly ingenious plan to murder the guy. However, of course, the plan is NOT perfect and Columbo is on the case....so sooner or later he's bound to get caught.
The crime is really neat and well thought out. But the actual execution left out some important details...so see the show and see how Columbo catches him. Well worth seeing and quite enjoyable.
"Murder Can Be Hazardous to Your Health" used the then (and I guess now, if you think about it) true crime shows as the situation for a murder. The murder is committed by a very successful, egomaniacal true crime show host, George Hamilton (in a nice bit of casting). His chain-smoking nemesis, who lost the job to him, played by Peter Haskell, attempts to blackmail Hamilton when he discovers a porno video Hamilton made with an underage actress in his salad days. Hamilton uses Haskell's cigarettes to deliver the death blow via poison, giving himself an alibi as well.
Columbo is brought in to find out what happened. You know the rest. Highly entertaining.
Hamilton plays the presenter of a big crime TV show (think the BBC's CRIME WATCH) who discovers to his displeasure that a rival has uncovered a dirty secret from his past. He kills the guy by poisoning his cigarette, and Columbo is soon on the case. One of the annoying things about this episode is the slow, drawn-out way that Columbo describes the clues and the like to the audience; he actually seems quite slow-witted, and was never like this in the old episodes.
Still, the mystery is a good one, and there's an ingenious climax. Plus, I find the comedy in this latter episodes to be as strong as ever, with the interlude in the dog parlour a highlight. CAUTION: MURDER CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH is a perfectly serviceable entry in the Columbo TV series.

- ट्रिवियाIn the closing credits of "Crime Alert", Alan J. Levi is listed as supervising producer, Todd London as co-producer, and April Raynell as writer. All three people performed those functions on this episode of Columbo (1971).
- गूफ़Anders could have simply removed the poisoning cigarette from Clarke's hand, and leave. Instead, he starts planting his own cigarette butts into the ashtray, and even one into the victims hand. An experienced Crime Psychologist as Anders, would never plant items that could incriminate him self, to a clean crime scene.
