When Columbo came back after an 11 year hiatus, the show was never as exciting as the earlier episodes. That is until It's All in the Game. This episode took me back to the glory days of Columbo where the chemistry between murderer and cop kept me highly entertained while Columbo asked all manner of questions no one else on the planet would even think of (let's face it, this is a man who could solve a murder by finding a piece of used chewing gum 3 blocks down the road and an empty wrapper at the scene of the crime! NB: This never happened so don't go crazy trying to figure out what episode, even though that would have been a highly fantastic plot!) anyway, i digress - this episode was every bit as good as some of the best episodes in the 70's and Faye Dunaway gave a brilliant performance. Written by Peter Falk and acted to perfection. 10 out of 10.
