Featured review
Did anybody notice "Helen Crump"??
Aneta Corsaut portrayed Andy Taylor's girlfriend/wife in the top-rated (Number 1!!) TV show, "Andy Griffith." Yet, three years later, she goes by barely noticed in a series of guest supporting TV appearances, as with her Nurse Morgan walk-on here. Interesting.
Overall, a great "Columbo" episode, minus the overacting of the previous two installments.
Perhaps the script goes a bit overboard in portraying Columbo's slovenly appearance and behavior, and I certainly do not want to watch him eat another meal, ever again.
Jared Martin is excellent in his brief appearance, and Geer plays the type of character he specialized in bringing to life. Nimoy is indeed a bit "wooden" at times, but I assume that's why he was cast in the role. Anne Francis's second "Columbo" outing is fine.
Director Averback specialized in TV movies, pilots and series episodes, so the production is professional, is not somewhat pedestrian.
Does anybody know what building is used for exteriors of the hospital?
