The Most Crucial Game is the third episode of the second season of Columbo and the twelfth episode overall. It first aired on November 5, 1972 and was directed by Jeremy Kagan. In addition to Peter Falk as Columbo, the episode stars Robert Culp (in his second of appearances in the series, in three of which he plays the murderer), Dean Stockwell and Valerie Harper.

Paul Hanlon is without doubt a very angry and vocal man which means the viewer spends much of the episode listening to him shout and complain noisily at almost every opportunity. Indeed he can be barely seen as being nice and calm with any character in the whole series.

As ever with an early episode, the sub plot is rather non-existent. The most we get is Columbo wanting to listen to the game and never being particularly able to due to the necessity of doing detective work!

Robert Culp - Culp, to me, is the best of the recurring killers. One only needs to contrast the Hanlon character with the previous season's Brimmer to see that Culp is capable of very diversified acting. While Brimmer is dignified and mostly quite personable, Hanlon is loud and relatively uncouth. Jack Cassidy, on the other hand, is the arrogant, egotistical, condescending snake in all three murderer roles. So the range of Culp's characters is wonderful.

Flamboyant television chef Dexter Paris and his identical twin brother, conservative banker Norman (both played by Martin Landau), are supposedly not talking to one another. But both disapprove that their uncle Clifford Paris (Paul Stewart) has become engaged to young, beautiful Lisa Chambers (Julie Newmar). One of the brothers kills uncle Clifford by dropping an electric mixer into the bathtub while he is bathing, electrocuting him. The body is moved to the gym to make it seem like he had a heart attack while using an exercise bike. Clifford's lawyer, Michael Hathaway (Tim O'Connor) reveals to the twins that a new will exists, one which he is willing to \"lose\" for a price. However, Chambers, who became fearful when Columbo questioned her, also has a copy of the will, and thus she is murdered too. Unlike most Columbo episodes, this has a whodunit element which is not resolved until the end of the episode. Dabney Coleman plays Columbo's colleague, Detective Murray. Jeanette Nolan plays Mrs. Peck, a sharp-tongued, fastidious, loyal housekeeper who is appalled by the \"terrible mess\" Columbo makes in the house.

In \"The Most Crucial Game,\" Columbo solves the murder of the owner of a football team in the same way. In the episode, he is certain that a phonecall made by Robert Culp's murderer was pre-recorded, placing Culp in a certain location in order to give him an alibi - almost identical to Taffy's strategy in PF. Columbo tirelessly searches for something in the recording that SHOULDN'T be there (a car, a bird, anything), only to discover that there was something which SHOULD have been in the background that wasn't - a Cuckoo clock which would have been heard in the background of the phonecall at the time it was made, which is nowhere to be heard in the recording. 59ce067264
