Amazon.com: Reviews for Columbo - The Complete Third Season: DVD:
June 11, 2007 wdanthemanw "wdanthemanw" (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews Vera Miles, Vincent Price, Martin Sheen, Donald Pleasence, Julie Harris, Jackie Cooper, Robert Culp, Jack Cassidy, José Ferrer, Johnny Cash, Ida Lupino and Richard Kiley are the most known guest stars of this third season. The quality of this season is not as constant as in the first two seasons but if you'll find here average episodes, you'll also find in season 3 the best Columbo episodes so far :
Columbo: Lovely But Lethal : **** Great performances by Vincent Price and Vera Miles. An episode that will make you quit smoking.
Columbo Collector's Edition: Any Old Port In A Storm : ***** In my opinion, the best Columbo episode so far. Donald Pleasence portrays a wine connoisseur who will finally be relieved from his guilt by our hero. If you want to see only one episode, take this one !
CANDIDATE FOR CRIME : **** A story by Larry Cohen. Columbo in the middle of a political campaign.
Columbo Collector's Edition: Double Exposure : **** Directed by Richard Quine. Columbo uses the same methods than Robert Culp's in order to confound him.
Columbo Collector's Edition: Publish Or Perish : ***** One of the best episodes of this season. With Mickey Spillane and a brilliant use of the split screen technique by director Robert Butler.
Columbo Collector's Edition: Mind Over Mayhem : ***** Lt. Columbo among the super talented. Curious but great episode with a child prodigy named Steven Spelberg and the comeback of Robby The Robot.
SWAN SONG : **** With Johnny Cash who sings two or three songs. Brilliant description of the peculiar world of the evangelists.
Columbo Collector's Edition: A Friend In Deed : **** Two murders, two different murderers. No problem for Columbo !
A DVD box set that should already be in your library.
