Trivia
The morning after Leslie makes the "drop", Margaret is watching Pacto de sangre (1944), a movie about a woman who kills her husband to collect on an insurance policy.

Errores
When Leslie Williams leaves her husband's 1971 Lincoln sedan at the stop sign and goes to a mailbox to mail the ransom note, she is startled by an approaching car. The car is a Corvette. However, as the car is shown driving away, the rear of the car is a 1971 Lincoln sedan.

Citas
Agent Carlson: Let's understand this one thing: if you start harassing this woman, I'm going to take it upstairs.
Lt. Columbo: Ah, just one minute, uh, Mr. Carlson. You see, it's like this: this is not just a kidnapping; this is a murder now... and I kinda figure that's my department. I'll see ya 'round.

8/10

Columbo's first bowl of chili in the series.

1. Peter Falk as Columbo has his hands full trying to prove his case against husband killer Leslie Williams played by the gorgeous Lee Grant. 2. Leslie's step daughter Margaret provides some help to Columbo, but I believe that she was fortunate that Leslie didn't decide to eliminate her step daughter as well! 3. I picked out one small interesting scene to mention. Shortly after Leslie takes her adversary for an airplane ride, he goes into a diner for a bowl of chili. Apparently our favorite detective has eaten there before because the cook knows that chili is Colombo's favorite dish. (In later episodes we see the lieutenant sitting down to enjoy a bowl of chili, but this is the first time we see this happen in the series). 4. In 2011 when the news reports came out that Peter Falk had passed away, I made my way to a greasy spoon diner and had a bowl of chili exactly the way Colombo liked it, with "ketchup and lots of crackers".
