The episode is unwatchable. It's not columbo.
I'm working through the series from one to seven.
Patrick Mcgoohan has already shown he can't direct in a previous episode. Identity crisis has all the trademark pretence you see when actors try and direct. You've got the silly close ups, pretentious lighting and camera angles etc etc.
Amazingly Patrick was given another chance to make an awful episode. He did this with alacrity.
What's happened to Columbo here? He's nasty, intolerant and very antithesis of this legendary movie detective.
I always remember when Paul Michael Glaser was allowed to direct episodes of Starkey and Hutch. They were dreadful as Paul did exactly the same things as Patrick did here.
Why they let him loose I'll never know as Paul never failed to deliver garbage time after time.
I haven't the heart to give this episode the one star it deserves.
Sometimes actors have too much power and influence. For Peter falk should never have been allowed to have Patrick direct again after the first rubbish he made.
An appalling episode that is totally unwatchable.
