Daryl Dukes direction shows up here in a Columbo which is more intense than many & that intensity comes from the director. This 1990 Columbo is one of the longer ones that goes for 2 hours but this length flows unlike some of the later ones where the longer format drags. The original series shows were made for 90 minute time slots. Sometimes they seem better because they are shorter.
The opening credits include the rock song "She Drives Me Crazy" by The Young Cannibals & sets the tone for this one.
While the guest cast here is not as famous as some of the shorter ones, it goes by with a story that is not standard Columbo fare. There is a disappearance but whether or not there is a murder and who did it are not given sway which is unusual for a Columbo case. There are some major twists along the way. Columbo is literally shopping for a crime in this show, unlike others in the series.
The curves of the women models and the opening rock soundtrack give this episode a different flavor than almost any other Columbo.
