Columbo (1977) [TV]
Columbo Season 7
director: 詹姆斯·弗劳利 actor: 彼得·法尔克 / 鲁思·戈登
《神探可伦坡》(Columbo)是一个有名的经典美国电视电影,由彼得·福克(Peter Falk)主演。自1968年~2003年期间,共69集。本片叙述一名总是穿着一件皱巴巴的棕色风衣,顶着一头乱发,嘴里叼雪茄,开着一辆老爷车的洛杉矶重案组的刑警主角法兰克·可伦坡(Frank Columbo)。看似不修边幅的他,总是以敏锐的推理能力侦破各种案件,并让犯人无从抵赖。
本片每集独立成篇,一大特点是每集中客串演出犯人角色的全为名演员与名人。另一特点是剧情采用固定的倒叙推理形式;先描述犯人作案的情形,而后描写可伦坡从与嫌疑犯的交谈及证据中确定其嫌疑,逼得犯人不得不自白。犯人原以为天衣无缝的杀人计划,都逃不过他的锐眼。他的一句名言是:‘世上没有完美犯罪’。
倒叙推理,着重如howcatchem(如何抓住犯人),而不是常见的whodunit(谁是凶手)、howdunit(手法)或whydunit(动机)。因此在日本若出现倒叙推理的作品,往往会被叫成‘神探可伦坡或古畑任三郎风格’。日本著名编剧 三谷幸喜 从小就可伦坡迷,长大后更是创作了’日本版神探可伦坡’-《古畑任三郎》。

Night of 100 Stars
director: Clark Jones actor: Jane Alexander / Peter Allen
The most glittering, expensive, and exhausting videotaping session in television history took place Friday February 19, 1982 at New York's Radio City Music Hall. The event, for which ticket-buyers paid up to $1,000 a seat (tax-deductible as a contribution to the Actors' Fund) was billed as "The Night of 100 Stars" but, actually, around 230 stars took part. And most of the audience of 5,800 had no idea in advance that they were paying to see a TV taping, complete with long waits for set and costume changes, tape rewinding, and the like. Executive producer Alexander Cohen estimated that the 5,800 Radio City Music Hall seats sold out at prices ranging from $25 to $1,000. The show itself cost about $4 million to produce and was expected to yield around $2 million for the new addition to the Actors Fund retirement home in Englewood, N. J. ABC is reputed to have paid more than $5 million for the television rights.
