(aka 'Columbo: The Complete Third Season')
directed by
Jeannot Szwarc, Leo Penn, Boris Sagal, Richard Quine, Robert Butler, Alf Kjellin,
Nicholas Colasanto, and Ben Gazzara
USA 1973 - 74
In the detective series that inspired them all, acclaimed actor Peter Falk returns in his four-time Emmy-winning role as the wry and ruffled police lieutenant in Columbo Season Three.
Each episode in Season 3 of Columbo had a different director. It only proved that the strength of the TV movie series lay solely in the hands of the writers and the wonderful character acting of Peter Falk. The substantial cast support including far too many to name (I have attempted to include screen shots of most of them below, ex. Martin Sheen, Vincent Price, Robert Culp, Jackie Cooper, Donald Pleasance etc.) was another viable bonus, but Falk's enduring portrayal of slovenly Detective Lieutenant Columbo, would rise to become one of the most beloved and appealing characters in network television history. With the pattern of success aptly initiated by Season 1 and 2, the series simply continued to fine-tune and produce some of the best television of the 70's. Continually intriguing the series developed a devout and loyal following. This was intelligent and well-acted - and in comparison to today's sensational broadcast TV, filled with realty and further mind-rotting trash, Columbo represents part of the golden-age that I fear we will never see again.

| Comments: |
Like the previous two
Boxsest (Season 1 + 2) this is devoid of extras (interviews etc.) but
this one does include a kind of 'bonus' with the short-lived 'Mrs.
Columbo' experiment (Mrs. Kate Columbo - Kate Mulgrew - follows in her
husbands footsteps... as a reporter.). Unlike
Season 1 + 2, these are on opposite sides of
a dual layered DVD where before they were on single-sided discs (2
episodes each disc). On this set the optional French subtles have been
removed.
Image quality may be slightly
ahead of the other two releases - quite sharp with two of the episodes
being a little darker than the rest. All are progressively transferred,
except the bonus which shows some 'combing'. The DVD contains some of my
favorite episodes including 'Swan Song', 'Candidate for Crime'
and 'Mind Over Mayhem'. These are great for repeat viewing every
year or so - they never seem to lose their appeal. The best thing about them is the
price - you are getting 15 hours of entertainment here for less than $30
US. We strongly recommend! - |
