Trivia
Columbo investigates the murder of a Los Angeles woman who failed to arrive at a scheduled meeting in London. Columbo says he's investigating the disappearance as a favor to his old friend, Detective Chief Superintendent Durk of Scotland Yard, a character from S.O.S. Scotland Yard (1972).

Goofs
Columbo appears in the opening credits walking around the pool *before* any crime is committed. He can be seen in the upper left of the screen when Alan Scarfe's name appears in the credits.

Quotes
Sir Harry Matthews: These cigars are worth $6 an inch.
Lt. Columbo: Oh well in that case sir, I don't need this second one. I already had two in the helicopter.
Sir Harry Matthews: [grabs a handful] Then I insist you have a lot more.

Columbo gets it wrong!

Yes, Columbo gets it wrong or does he? This is an excellent Columbo story which adds a neat twist to the usual formula. Falk is lively throughout and by setting it in the glamour world, there are plenty of opportunities for comic moments. Very well paced and a treat to watch.
