As the newer entries of Columbo movies go, this one surprised me because it was quite good. The flashbacks are an interesting twist. The charming but unhinged female villain is convincing. I am also glad they dropped the cheesy music and kept things a bit more realistic. The ending has a nice twist. This is really a bit unusual for a Columbo movie because Columbo and his wife are the intended victims. The feel of this film is closer to vintage Columbo than some of the other newer movies. I notice quite a difference from the '89 series versus the '90s series. I feel they were tweaking things and getting back to the original formula with better results. Best moment : Columbo fixes breakfast at the end.
