Louis Jourdan plays a dashing blackmailing murder suspect in this Columbo mystery. But the biggest surprise is that the director's seat is occupied by a young Jonathan Demme, later elevated to A-list status through 1990's The Silence of the Lambs, which won him an Oscar. No awards were won here, but this ingenious mystery is full of inventive little touches which marked Demme out as a talent to watch.
