7/10
The Elusive Lisa
15 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Had Lindsay Crouse not had a delayed flight and gone back to her office she would not have caught her partner Stephen Macht en flagrato with another woman. Crouse and Macht are psychologists and in fact sex therapists. But this liberated woman has some very old fashioned ideas about fidelity even though she and Macht are not in fact married.

She conceives a very interesting plan where she dresses most alluringly and creates a character called Lisa. Macht thinks this is a little role play and it is more than she realizes. As Lisa, Crouse takes him to a hotel room gets him good and primed and then shoots with I'm sure Macht in full salute below decks.

For Columbo this is a most interesting situation, he's chasing a suspect for a bit that does not exist. Let's say in catching Lisa, Lindsay got too well noticed which was the flaw in her scheme.

For some good comic relief Peter Falk gets to play a tuba. Turns out he was in the high school band and became a virtuoso. That Columbo surprises every story.

I wonder if Falk really ws playing the tuba or was that dubbed?
