Rating: - SEASON ONE, EPISODE FOUR
The fourth episode of this first season, SUITABLE FOR FRAMING, was broadcasted on Nov. 17th, 1971. It's also possible to watch this episode in the DVD standard by purchasing Columbo - The Complete First Season or also in VHS Columbo Collector's Edition: Suitable For Framing. Hy Averback, the director of the episode, is mostly well-known for having directed I Love You, Alice B. Toklas! with Peter Sellers in 1968.

Rating: - Great Ending
There's something about the Columbo character that makes these movies fun to watch.

Jackson Gillis' first script for the show is beautifully thought-out and boasts a ingenious and justly celebrated final curtain.
Rating: - The Best Columbo Ending of All Time!!!
Ross Martin starred as Artemis Gordon in one of my favorite shows of all time: "The Wild, Wild, West." Seeing him duel with Columbo is a treat. Whereas Artemis was laid-back and mischievous, Ross Martin's portrayal of art critic Dale Kingston embodies the worst traits of a professional critic: cold, calculating, manipulative and arrogant. He makes the perfect antagonist for the rumpled detective. Kingston appears to cover all his bases, leading everyone (but Columbo) to think what he wants them ... Read More
Rating: - THREE REASONS TO MAKE THIS ONE YOURS
REASON 1: Ross Martin, one of the screen's most versatile actors
REASON 2: Kim Hunter, giver of great performances in everything from "A Streetcar named Desire" to the original "Planet of the Apes"
REASON 3: Without a doubt, Peter Falk as one of fiction's most intriguing detectives
Hey, for what more could one ask???
