[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 276956, member: 33"] I completely agree. [I]A Stitch In Crime[/I] is one of my favourite episodes, definitely in my top 10 best episodes, possibly in my top 5. So many elements come together to make it one of the greats: a strong plot, clever murder, great performance from the murderer, fascinating interactions between Columbo and the murderer and a really good gotcha. One of the great Columbo scenes because he is usually so cool and laid back so when he losing his temper you can't help but to take note that it's something significant. The Leonard Nimoy character is a nasty piece of work and Columbo knows it but his usual understated interrogation of his main suspect doesn't seem to be working and this gets to him. I remember vividly the look of surprise on the face of Leonard Nimoy's character, it's almost fear, when Columbo bangs the water jug on the table. Great description of the man and why I thought he was an interesting murderer. Sadly, he was played in a way that didn't give him a particularly strong screen presence and that weakened the impact of the episode. I seem to like this episode more than most people. It's not one of the best but it's still a good middle-ranking episode. I thought the premise of the murder was an intriguing one and I really liked the gotcha. [/QUOTE]
