The first I heard of McBain was Ranier Wolfcastle's rendition of him in The Simpsons, so imagine my surprise to learn of a real life author by the name of Ed McBain and that this 1994 instalment of Columbo is based on an Ed McBain novel. Anyway, this instalment ain't for everyone but I enjoyed it for what it was and the fact that it was released in 1994 and set in Los Angeles meant it was a big year for murders and the trial of the century. I can imagine Colombo would have solved that double murder with much ease really.
Tyne Daly makes a return to Columbo but playing another character. Ed Begley, Jr also guest stars.
More significantly, when I saw Undercover, I didn't realize Burt Young, who had a role in Undercover, had passed away just a month earlier.
