Genre: Drama
aka: Columbo: Prescription Murder
Director: Richard Irving
Cast: Peter Falk, Gene Barry, Katherine Justice, William Windom, Nina Foch, Virginia Gregg, Anthony James
Dr. Flemming (Gene Barry) commits the "perfect" murder when he does in his wife. Thus sets the scene for the first in a long line of "Columbo" films.

The series was taken from a Broadway play starring Thomas Mitchell.
