    The first Falk Columbo was a TV movie "Prescription: Murder". There's a second TV movie, "Ransom for a Dead Man". Then the regular series begins as part of the NBC Mystery Movie show. The first of those, "Murder by the Book" was directed by Spielberg (so 3rd episode overall).

    Anyway, as mentioned in my initial (now very old!) review of I MARRIED A DEAD MAN, MRS. WINTERBOURNE was inadvertently responsible for introducing me to Cornell Woolrich, so I'll forever have a weird fondness for it, even though I can't in any way claim it's a "good" film, pfft.

    The TV Movie "Prescription: Murder" debuted in 1968. The follow up "Ransom for a Dead Man" aired in 1971. The TV series was part of the 1971 NBC Mystery Movies. A rotation between the TV series MacMillan & Wife, McCloud, and later Hec Ramsey. An entire year of Columbo could amount to just 5 shows.
