Try and Catch Me has to be one of my all-time favourite episodes of the Columbo series, of which I am a big fan of. The production values are as slick as ever, and the music is outstandingly composed and atmospheric. Try and Catch Me also has one of the wittiest Columbo scripts, and one of the most original and completely diverting(apart from a tad pedestrian first 10 minutes) story lines. Peter Falk once again embodies Columbo, and Mariette Hartley is appropriately sly, but other than the delicious writing Try and Catch Me is memorable for the unforgettable performance of Ruth Gordon, who looks as though she is having the time of her life, whether with Columbo or not. As much as I loved the performances of Susan Clark(Lady in Waiting) and Janet Leigh(Forgotten Lady), enjoyed the episodes and found their characters interesting, Gordon for me was the best guest villain actress on Columbo, she really is that good. Overall, a must catch, one of the best of the series, and certainly a favourite of mine. 10/10 Bethany Cox
