He did indeed. Columbo Cup champion director. Not sure I ever really notice the directing in anything but that film has a couple of memorable bits. Like the weird close-ups on their faces in the restaurant.

Same here. Spielberg did catch the eye in the opening credits the first time around with this though.

Here's a close-up shot which lingers in the mind. Gross.

I think I've seen three episodes of it. They were in the Columbo complete boxset. All I can remember is a ventriloquist dummy. Presumably that's the puppet you refer to...?

Same. Just a dummy.

This show only had 13 episodes and scorched through four titles. Talk about backing away from your original idea, ridiculous stuff... a disaster by all accounts. 'Kate Loves a Mystery'... come on now.
