Has anyone seen The Andersonville Trial (1970)? Jack apparently did some great work in that. Whatta smile! The first P.B.S. primetime special to win an Emmy award. I remember seeing that!

I haven't been to the Columbo forum in years. I thought the lady who went under the name Cassavetes45(?) was an absolute sweetheart. I had chatted with her briefly on the "Johnny Staccato" IMDb message board. I was saddened to learn that she died in 2012. I just watched STACCATO. Complete series on DVD. Still have it if you're interested in buying or trading for it. Also have MAN WITH A CAMERA fs/ft

Someone on the Ultimate Columbo Site message board finally spotted Ms. Martel in Double Exposure. When Kepple goes to plant the gun in the Norris house, Mrs. Norris leaves just before he goes inside. Coincidence? Long wait? No...she gets into a car with Arlene Martel. Kepple's confederate, Tanya Baker was obviously helping clear the way for him. The rest of the scene must have been cut. Incorrect. That wasn't Martel that was an actress named Alma Beltran playing Mrs. Norris's housekeeper. It's more evident that Martel's role was intended for scenes that took place before the opening shot of the episode because I'm convinced the episode was filmed as a two hour show and then hacked to 90 minutes. Very possible. The blackmail plot always struck me as weak, which is one reason I don't rate this at the top. Btw check out Kepple's demeanor as Chuck tries to shake him down. Culp was. marvel!

I'm shocked that it has taken me ten years to get in here and state my complete agreement with Jim P's initial assessment as noted in the thread title. Much as I love many others named here (especially Lee Grant, Ross Martin, Ruth Gordon, Shatner & Nimoy, and Donald Pleasence) - these are my faves. I've grown to love Double Exposure best among equals - mostly because it is probably the best "two hander" of them all. For example, the scene on the golf course is perfect, with some fine ad-libbing. Two pros having a ball.
