Prescription: Murder (1968 Richard Irving)

After a coolly executed murder in the style of Hitchcock or Chabrol, it's all talk, talk, talk as a young Peter Falk doggedly pursues wooden Gene Barry and lover Nina Foch across various Universal backlot sets.

Columbo or the writers overlook my genius Q's observation that the shattered glass would have been on top of the corpse.

Interesting how the old Hollywood greats end up in TV of this era - thus we have Ray Rennahan, who worked on GWTW, on camera, and very polished it is too. Newcomer Dave Grusin, on the other hand, is seasoning his jazzy late sixties score with one of them new fangled synthesizers and tape echo. And there's a Westmore (Bud, brother of Perc and Wally) doing makeup.
