"Ashes to Ashes" from 1998 is a great Columbo episode, with Falk coming up against repeat offender from past years, Patrick McGoohan, as a murderous funeral director. He also states that the pilot's license is in jeopardy for having done so. Directed by Patrick McGoohan. Their previous professional working association had been very creative and productive in their projects development. After they became lovers, he finished their personal and professional relationships but not without hurting her and, when she discovers Prince has stolen expensive jewellery off the body of a famous actress, she plans to expose him and finish him. Every episode (like in the conclusion of Ashes to Ashes) with his high pitched screaming, obnoxious voice? A woman clubbed to death, then cremated with stolen diamonds down her throat. "Ashes to Ashes" from 1998 is a great Columbo episode, with Falk coming up against repeat offender from past years, Patrick McGoohan, as a murderous funeral director. With Peter Falk, Patrick McGoohan, Rue McClanahan, Richard Riehle. I really do love this episode...Thank you, Sir Peter! It was almost like possessing a hidden super-power, which was even better when used against self-assured characters like Patrick McGoohan's. Columbo states that the helicopter pilot has committed a crime by allowing a woman to empty an urn of ashes over the Hollywood sign. Was this review helpful?

The twists and turns are ingenious. I'm a great Columbo fan and Ashes to Ashes certainly didn't disappoint me in any way, shape or form. Was this review helpful?

Eric Prince (Patrick McGoohan) is a failed British actor who became a successful funeral director in Hollywood.

It doesn't look like Columbo but a sort of cheap imitation. It was disgusting. Columbo...just great, nothing can be compared...and the "undertaker"...my sympathy was with the killer in this case.

Her husband had served in Vietnam & the urn containing his real ashes are disposed of later by our murderer. Was this review helpful? Was this review helpful? 27 out of 29 found this helpful. When she reveals to Prince her plans he kills her. While he may appear somewhat shambolic with his dirty raincoat or rambling train of thought, this is just a tactic used to lure suspects into a false sense of security. I was disappointed by this episode. He then goes to her house and changes the story she was working on to make it seem someone else wanted to get her. I'm not as much of a Columbo fan as my mom, but I recommend it for mystery and Columbo fans! Columbo: Ashes to Ashes Patrick McGoohan (1998) PG Certificate ... Lt Columbo Peter Falk. 4 out of 6 found this helpful. 1 out of 1 found this helpful. Patrick McGoohan, as stern and sometime wry undertaker Eric Prince, plays his role precisely and believably. Columbo himself also seems to be a bit slower in his actions and words as well. In fact he's in the funeral home chain business and is quite wealthy. 1 out of 1 found this helpful. It' the Columbo touch that you pity the criminal and love the detective. Was this review helpful? ASHES TO ASHES is one of the last Columbo movies made before Peter Falk retired from the role (I think there were only two subsequent stories filmed). A tremendous cast, by latter-day Columbo standards, including Rue McClanahan, Sally Kellerman, Edie McClurg, Richard Libertini, Aubrey Morris, and Ron Masak have a field day chewing up the scenery in clever scene after clever scene. He had played in previous Columbo movies. 10 out of 22 found this helpful. I understood perfectly! 3 out of 4 found this helpful. This episode is just great...Peter Falk's acting is great. Most of us Columbo fans think the two best guest actors were Jack Cassidy who played in three episodes & was always suavely villainous along with Patrick Mcgoohan. (And I've also been a fan of Patrick McGoohan's since his "Secret Agent" and "Prisoner" days.) Like many of the latter day episodes, it does seem to be a bit long and slow at times. But McGoohan does prove to be a pretty good opponent - he comes across as smarter and craftier than the usual suspects that Columbo dealt with over the years. Jack Cassidy (father of pop star David Cassidy) died in 1976 in a house fire &, surely, would have appeared in more Columbo's but for the tragedy. 0 out of 0 found this helpful. Peter Falk, as usual is splendid as Lt. Columbo. Just like the model in "Suitable for Framing"? Was this review helpful? The not-nearly-as-dumb-as-he-seems approach always did it for me. 5 out of 15 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? His job might be murder but it sure is fun watching him get the man or woman to be caught. A tremendous cast, by latter-day Columbo standards, including Rue McClanahan, Sally Kellerman, Edie McClurg, Richard Libertini, Aubrey Morris, and Ron Masak have a field day chewing up the scenery in clever scene after clever scene. The script is top notch, particularly in any exchange between Columbo and Eric and Verity's bitchy dialogue is a joy. The twists and turns are ingenious. Sally Kellerman plays Liz Houston convincingly. Prescription: Murder, the official introductions of Falk as Columbo aired as a TV movie in 1968. Then there are the performances, Peter Falk is exceptional once again as Columbo, no surprise really he is always brilliant as the character, while Patrick McGoohan is brilliant as Eric. Use the HTML below. Who the heck is "Chuck Huston" in this episode? He doesn't dumb down the role or the characters. When no one hears from her, the police are called in and Lt. Columbo is on the job. He mixes humor and seriousness with the most serious crime of murder. Everything was great... until the end.

It does have some flaws here and there. 3 out of 14 found this helpful.
