I always loved the Gil Melle tune that plays here and in a few other first-season episodes, and it’s a shame it was never used again. But Falk’s performance was off. Blueprint for Murder The episode builds to a classic resolution which is kick-started from the moment Columbo steps into the planning department to get permission to dig up one of the piles of the building - things balance distinctly on the edge as we think Columbo has uncharacteristically made a mistake....One slight minus point - Falk seems compromised by the fact that he is required to stand both infront of and behind the camera: Columbo's harassment in trying to trap the murderer is almost mirrored in Falk's intermittently stiff and stern performance as the detective. I do think though that this feels more like an episode of television than any of the preceding episodes, each of which felt more like films – albeit ones created on a restricted budget.
