House Boy: Pat Morita it actually WASNT the money. True to form, the two seem to revel in each others company, although I dont feel they zing in the same way Falk and Jack Cassidy do. Sadly, Alex's mother-in-law also happens to be the Patron-of-the-Arts and is pretty much the purse string that Alex's career hangs by, so leaving his wife by any means is not an opinion so, despite the ultimatum only having two choices, Alex plumps for a third murder. This is as good as TV gets. Pretty poor addition to the columbo catalogue and considering its invariably the earlier ones that are the best quite incongruous. I dont always wear one. Its now that Lieutenant Columbo is called into action. Im a big fan of Beckman. Of course, Columbo becomes as interested in classical music as he does anything else involving a crime. If I were a musician in his orchestra, I would be very confused. TV show line-ups didnt come much stronger. But, in terms of *acting* alone, I think Cassavetes does a great job in this episode, as does Myrna Loy. Coincidentally, in both episodes, the murderer was a conductor. When he was conducting the score for the documentary, he looked like he was doing jumping jacks. Much of the movie is obviously padded to fill a longer fun time on television. Given the friendship between Falk and Cassavetes, I'm a little disappointed that some of the interplay between them is less entertaining than it could be at times, especially during the scene where Columbo asks Benedict how much he pays in taxes, how much his house his worth, etc. The Thinman movie series amongst many that they did together. Nothing beats the simple pleasure of seeing Columbo indulging in some cheeky Chopsticksactionat a deserted Hollywood Bowl. Your comment regarding how Benedict and Franklin would not of let themselves be trapped into confessions Carries no weight. It is definitely Beethovens Symphony #6 part #4, The correct term is movement not part. Flying into a temper, Benedict orders an immediate change to the concert program while raging at Jennifers lack of reliability. If I were a musician in his orchestra, I would be very confused. Andif youll hear me out, Ill state my case. For my money, the centralclue just isnt compelling enough. Although all signs point to a suicide, little things immediately bother Columbo. So far so good, then, but does Etude in Black live up to the hype? So what, comes the response from Benedict. Columbo: tude in Black Cast & Crew All titles Director Showrunner Screenplay Cast Cinematography Music Production Design Producer Editing Sound Art Department Visual Effects John Cassavetes stars as a suave but amoral Classical music conductor named Alex Benedict who feels forced to murder his pianist mistress after she threatens to tell his wife(played by Blythe Danner) and more importantly his mother-in-law(played by Myrna Loy) who owns the company he works at, about the affair. columbo 50 years ago. tude in Black is the first episode of the second season of Columbo and the tenth episode overall. That way, Benedict would have far less wriggle-room in a court of law. So scenes that could have been raced through were drawn out to the nth degree. For my money, the centralclue just isnt compelling enough. The return journey to Jenifer Welles house. And thanks, as ever, for reading. The friends worked so well together. Lizzi Fielding: Myrna Loy Not sure if other releases match but the Japanese discs of Columbo all include the original version of Etude in Black in addition to the padded version. In memoriam: the Columbo stars we lost in 2022. Columbo suspects otherwise. Will it come back to haunt him? At Jenifers place. Rather enjoyed it. Those episodes are damaged by the longer running time because scenes become a bore something thats largely avoided in Etude. We learn later that the carnations are a rare type, grown specifically for Benedict by his wife in their garden. tude in Black sees killer conductor Alex Benedict murder his girlfriend without baton an eyelid. Lovely stuff. Before the killing, however, Benedict has gotsome work to do. He was frantically waving his arms around never in time with the music. Columbo: tude in Black (1972) was originally written by Steven Bochco as a regular 90-minute episode; however, it was decided at the last minute to make it into a 120-minute episode. As a diehard fan of Columbo, I thought his performance in Etude was first-rate. Having canvassed many a fans opinion on the matter over a period of years, Im fully aware thatEtudeis treasured by a high percentage ofColumbofans. She was, however, awarded a special career statuette in 1991. Audrey: Dawn Frame I dont think Benedict would cave in on the evidence of the lapel flower. A solid and classic Columbo, probably would rate somewhere in the 20s of all the episodes for me, and for this fantastic series thats darn good. Similarly Benedict had a way out. Of all the Columbo villians, he had the most disagreeable disposition I can remember. The music is a sheer delight, and part of the reason why this episode holds a special place in my heart. But, in terms of *acting* alone, I think Cassavetes does a great job in this episode, as does Myrna Loy. Likewise actors, who were not trained as dancers or martial artists and so on, had trouble expressing themselves through their movements (hence the use of stunt and performance doubles). And the wonderful news is that Etude is the latest episode to be made available in full to keen viewers via the official Columbo YouTube channel. Cant believe no one has mentioned the great Myrna Loy, one half of the greatest whodunit duos to ever grace the screen with William Powell. I found the clues to be given away too easy. For example, one concert at the Hollywood Bowl in the 1970s featured the LA Philharmonic playing alongside the rock band Deep Purple. A bit too long and padded, but otherwise memorable entry. Alex Benedict: John Cassavetes Hes a kind of burned-out old guy that the Lts using for exposition about the victim and its like, ok, is he the coroner or a neighbor, or a figment of Columbos imagination, or what? Such moments are always to be treasured 25 Composed by Frdric Chopin Performer by Anjanette Comer The title of this episode is derived from the name of this piece. Most damning of all, Alex goes back for his flower while the police are there, drawing Columbos attention to it. It reveals Columbo suspects a man must be involved because a girl like thats gotta have a man (another very dated concept). Co-starring Lee Grant, Harold Gould and Patricia Mattick, its a big-budget spectacular that wowed viewers and critics alike And, last but not least, we welcome Dog into the fold. The emergence of Alex Benedict at the housealso provides some food for thought for Columbo as he witnesses the Maestro picking up a flower from the floor near the piano and attaching it to his lapel. Lt. Columbo is on the case. For me, her scenes singularly fail to provide the injection of humour that I suspect was the intention. But for all the murder smarts, Alex makes two blindingly simple errors. Etude in Black ranks for me around the low-B level. If Columbo knows otherwise he doesnt say so, although its not the sort of detailthat normally escapes him. COLUMBO series Ep: ETUDE IN BLACK Contributor Names Nicholas Colasanto (director) Dick De Benedictis (composer) . The entire symphony orchestra would normally wear pink carnations and Benedicts being absent on concert footage would alert Columbo to his potential guilt. If nothing else, one has to admire his chutzpah but I really dont consider his actions very plausible if avoiding attention was his goal. Poker Face: whats in it for Columbo fans? Im no expert, but isnt a conductors baton supposed to be caressed rather than wielded(no double entendres intended)? I know nothing about its methods of creation but appreciate the end results. Unlike Colasanto, DiLea was a total amateur or newbie who had never acted before. The main problem for me is that the audience notices the missing carnation almost at once (check the freeze-frame on Benedict looking down in horror at his empty lapel). There is the point that a flower wouldnt necessarily provoke a confession. With the carnation clue in mind, I put forward a tantalising alternative path the episode could have followed to lead to a much more damning indictment against Benedict. You can see shes pregnant in a couple of shots (while playing tennis) and shes hiding her belly in others (handbag in front of her while sitting at the Hollywood Bowl). And when we says nap, what we really mean is ice-cold, premeditated MURDER. The head, like Janice Benedict suspiciously eyeing her husband, cantever fully commit. Etude in Black marked the first episode (pilots excluded) with the longer 90+minute running time, which would have been 2 hours on network TV including ads. I found the clues to be given away too easy. So far so good, then, but does Etude in Black live up to the hype? Score by: Dick De Benedictis. Unfortunately while the Japanese Bluray set includes the original version its only in SD with HD reserved only for the padded version. For one thing, its very likely Columbo spots the flower straight away. In later episodes it became clear that there wasnt always enough material to justify the longer running time. There is something like three-quarters of the show left, but the case is already solved. Awards The key and fun to watching Columbo is trying to figure out what clues he will use to trap the killer. His admission of guilt seems too convenient a way to paper over this rather feeble gotcha, which makes for an unsatisfying finale.

Columbo points out suicide notes are usually handwritten (Alex counters that Jenifer typed everything because her handwriting was illegible). One thing that really bothered me throughout this episode is the unrealistic way that John Cassavettes portrayed a musical conductor. Reading the backstory from Koenigs excellent book, Shooting Columbo, confirms this. At that time, the LA Philharmonics conductor was Zubin Mehta, but a guest conductor may have led the Orchestra for Beethovens 6th Symphony. One senses Janice has the moral fibre to bounce back from this blow and get back on with her life at some point something that cant always be said for the many wronged wives of the wider series.

The scene eats up more than five minutes without ostensibly progressing the plot at all. This is one of the few 'cop shows' I ever watch because it's based in human interaction and pyschological issues, not in violent shocks. Did Coach from Cheers direct this episode? The aggression displayed by Columbo here was dialled right down when he returned to screens three years later Nothing beats the simple pleasure of seeing Columbo indulging in some cheeky Chopsticksactionat a deserted Hollywood Bowl. On the other, itsmired in plot holes that prevent it delivering the sucker punch the lavish settings and big budget set it up for. There is the point that a flower wouldnt necessarily provoke a confession. Peter Falk and John Cassavetes were good friends since working on Husbands (1970). But not so with Columbo.

Columbo / tude in Black 50th / Ltd. As far as actors, Anthony Hopkins got it. The head, like Janice Benedict suspiciously eyeing her husband, cantever fully commit. Cassavettes is given no room at all to even think his plan out without Columbo harassing him every moment possible. This two-hour TV movie was also prepared in a 90-minute version which played on Canadian television, and is reputed to be the superior of the two cuts. Columbo at his most irritating (SPOILERS), The plot is not as good as normal and the lead pair misfire still OK for fans but not up to the standards of the series (spoilers). The cheating doesnt prove the murder and the ending could more so prove Alex was cheating, rather than being a murderer. Then upon Paul pleading with her, she takes him back, but only in-between seeing Alex.

Why doesnt the Lt set up the scene with the cigar-chomping Sargent, instead? Would love to listen to it on spotify. There is only one red herring Audreys pointing the finger at Paul instead of Benedict and I dont recall anything specific following that line The moment anyone sees that carnation, Benedict is a dead duck. Blythe Danner plays the semi-suspicious wife, Myrna Loy her rich mother and James Olson a trumpet-playing former beau of the mistress. Not only is he toting the keyboard around, he actually strikes a couple of keys. Hes an English actor, his accent is a North Western one and sounds Mancunian to me. Where did it come from?

Benedict claims it fell off as he removed his coat there and then. Because he often wears a carnation and had just taken his coat off, he might simply have assumed the one on the floor was his and picked it up.
