Columbo is a friendly, verbose, and disheveled-looking police detective who consistently solves the most baffling cases despite his unprepossessing appearance and apparent absentmindedness. With a keen eye for detail and a meticulously dedicated approach, he shrewdly gathers evidence and secures indictments, often catching his suspects off guard. The long-running series features Emmy winner Peter Falk in the title role, along with a host of celebrated guest stars, including Suzanne Pleshette, Ida Lupino, Ray Milland, and Vincent Price.
