Peter Falk looks so young. He's kind of a jerk in this one, although he was being a jerk to the accomplice of a psychopathic killer so I shouldn't hold that against him.
In recent discussions of "The Goldwater Rule", it was pointed out how far psychiatry has advanced since the '60s. Psychiatrists back then were Freudians. They declared Goldwater unfit for office due to toilet training and oedipal issues.
So a psychiatrist like the one in this movie might not have recognized his own psychopathy and thought he was just being logical when he slept with his patient and murdered his wife.
I didn't like the ending. There was at least one later episode where Columbo uses the same trick to catch the killer. Anyone could have done that.
