Movie Reviews of Columbo - The Complete Second Season
Movie Review: Excellent product. Lousy packaging.
Summary: 4 Stars
First, the good news. This DVD has 2 of the very best Columbo episodes. "Swan Song" and " A Friend in Deed" have excellent story lines, even for today. Child sex abuse,groupies, adultery and domestic violence are handled with tact and class. The points are made without being vulgar. The episodes aired on network TV in the 70's. Both are very well written. Did the writers win any Emmys? I must admit, I was hoping Johnny Cash got away. You see why celebreties and people of prominence feel they can get away with murder.
Now, the bad news. Universal Studios should be ashamed for putting out bargain bin quality discs. There is no inner leaflet describing each episode. No pictures or anything on the discs. When you open the cover, you feel something is missing,especially for $[...]. Excellent Amazon.com price and excellent material, though.
Summary of Columbo - The Complete Second Season
Peter Falk stars as a wry and ruffled Lieutenant Columbo who solves L.A.'s most puzzling crimes with his trademark wit and style.Genre: Television
Rating: NR
Release Date: 8-MAR-2005
Media Type: DVD
Armchair sleuths, get out your trenchcoats: Universal has released the sophomore season (1972-73) of the classic detective series Columbo, starring Peter Falk as the sage but rumpled police lieutenant. As with the first season, there's plenty of star power in front of and behind the camera to abet Falk in these eight 90- and 120-minute episodes: John Cassavetes stars in the season premiere, Etude in Black, as a philandering symphony conductor, with Blythe Danner and Hollywood legend Myrna Loy in support; Oscar winner Ray Milland is a scheming orchid grower in "The Greenhouse Jungle," co-starring Bradford Dillman and William Smith; Robert Culp and Dean Stockwell are a football team manager and owner, respectively, whose disagreements blossom into murder in "The Most Crucial Game"; and Jeanette Nolan offers stellar comic relief in "Double Shock," which features Martin Landau as identical twins--one of whom has murdered their uncle. Performances by Richard Basehart, Laurence Harvey, Leonard Nimoy, Anne Francis, Anne Baxter, and Mel Ferrer also highlight the season; direction by small-screen stalwarts like Boris Sagal, Jeremy Paul Kagan, and Nicholas Colasanto ("Coach" on Cheers) and scripts by Stephen Bochco also bring quality and style to the proceedings. Sadly, no extras are available in this five-disc set, but the stellar image and sound quality (and lack of commercials) should appeal to series fans and newcomers alike. --Paul Gaita
