Содержание
Введение
Американский криминальный драматический телесериал «Коломбо» (/k//ə/'/l//ʌ//m//b//oʊ/) – американский криминальный драматический телесериал с Питером Фолком в роли лейтенанта Коломбо, детектива по расследованию убийств в полиции Лос-Анджелеса. После двух пилотных эпизодов, вышедших в 1968 и 1971 годах, сериал первоначально транслировался на NBC с 1971 по 1978 год в рамках ротационного проекта «The NBC Mystery Movie». Затем «Коломбо» выходил в эфир реже на ABC с 1989 по 2003 год. Коломбо – проницательный и умный детектив из рабочего класса, узнаваемый по своему помятому бежевому плащу, скромному поведению, сигаре, старому Peugeot 403, любви к чили и невидимой жене (о которой он часто упоминает). Он часто выходит из комнаты, чтобы вернуться со словами: «Только еще кое-что», и задать решающий вопрос. Персонаж и сериал, созданные Ричардом Левинсоном и Уильямом Линком, популяризировали формат «инвертированного детектива» (иногда называемый «howcatchem»). Этот жанр начинается с демонстрации совершения преступления и его исполнителя, поэтому сюжет обычно не содержит элемента «кто это сделал», то есть определения, кто из подозреваемых совершил преступление. Вместо этого он сосредоточен на том, как преступник, известный зрителю, будет в конечном итоге пойман и разоблачен. Улики, которые Коломбо находит, чтобы раскрыть дело, иногда показываются зрителям заранее, но чаще – только в конце эпизода. Подозреваемые в убийствах в сериале часто являются состоятельными представителями высшего общества, что заставило некоторых критиков увидеть в каждой истории элемент классовой борьбы. Подозреваемые тщательно заметают следы и поначалу пренебрежительно относятся к косвенной манере речи Коломбо и его кажущейся некомпетентности. Они становятся все более встревоженными, поскольку его навязчивое поведение постепенно выявляет улики, уличающие их.
American crime drama television film series
the television series
Columbo (/k//ə/'/l//ʌ//m//b//oʊ/) is an American crime drama television series starring Peter Falk as Lieutenant Columbo, a homicide detective with the Los Angeles Police Department. After two pilot episodes in 1968 and 1971, the show originally aired on NBC from 1971 to 1978 as one of the rotating programs of The NBC Mystery Movie. Columbo then aired less frequently on ABC from 1989 to 2003. Columbo is a shrewd and intelligent blue collar homicide detective whose trademarks include his rumpled beige raincoat, unassuming demeanor, cigar, old Peugeot 403 car, love of chili, and unseen wife (whom he mentions frequently). He often leaves a room only to return with the catchphrase "Just one more thing" to ask a critical question. The character and show, created by Richard Levinson and William Link, popularized the inverted detective story format (sometimes referred to as a "howcatchem"). This genre begins by showing the commission of the crime and its perpetrator; the plot therefore usually has no "whodunit" element of determining which of several suspects committed the crime. It instead revolves around how a perpetrator known to the audience will finally be caught and exposed. The clues Columbo finds to help him solve the case are sometimes revealed to the audience beforehand, but often not until the episode's end. The series' homicide suspects are often affluent members of high society; it has led some critics to see class conflict as an element of each story. Suspects carefully cover their tracks and are initially dismissive of Columbo's circumstantial speech and apparent ineptitude. They become increasingly unsettled as his superficially pestering behavior teases out incriminating evidence.
Эпизоды
После двух пилотных эпизодов шоу первоначально транслировалось на NBC с 1971 по 1978 год в качестве одной из ротационных программ The NBC Mystery Movie. Затем «Коломбо» транслировался на ABC менее регулярно, начиная с 1989 года под эгидой The ABC Mystery Movie. Последний эпизод был показан в 2003 году в рамках программы ABC Thursday Night at the Movies. Почти в каждом эпизоде зрители видят, как преступление происходит в самом начале, и знают личность преступника, как правило, состоятельного члена общества. Когда Коломбо появляется в сюжете (он редко появляется в первом акте), зрители наблюдают за тем, как он раскрывает дело, выявляя противоречия между правдой и версией, представленной ему убийцей (или убийцами). Этот стиль детективной истории иногда называют «howcatchem», в отличие от классического «whodunit». С точки зрения структурного анализа, большая часть повествования, таким образом, представляет собой развязку, что обычно характерно для самого конца истории. Эпизоды, как правило, строятся вокруг персонажей, зрители наблюдают за реакцией преступника на всё более настойчивое присутствие Коломбо. Когда Коломбо впервые появляется в эпизоде, его гений скрыт от зрителя его неряшливым, дружелюбным и обезоруживающим поведением. В то время как детали, и в конечном итоге мотивы, действий убийц всегда демонстрируются зрителю, истинные мысли и намерения Коломбо иногда остаются скрытыми до конца эпизода. Иногда он начинает насвистывать мелодию «This Old Man», когда все детали складываются воедино. Коломбо обычно поддерживает дружеские отношения с убийцей до самого конца, а иногда даже после признания или разоблачения, несмотря на то, что оба персонажа осознают свою антагонистическую позицию. Детектив обычно подозревает убийцу в течение нескольких минут после встречи, или даже раньше, часто основываясь на его реакции на новость о смерти жертвы. В свою очередь, убийца почти всегда сразу же проникает сквозь небрежный и рассеянный вид Коломбо, замечая его скрытый аналитический ум, и, соответственно, предпринимает шаги, чтобы отвлечь его, маскируя улики, манипулируя свидетелями, подбрасывая фальшивые улики, чтобы направить Коломбо по ложному следу, и/или притворяясь раздраженным, чтобы избежать обысков и допросов. В некоторых случаях убийца даже насмехается над Коломбо за его неспособность доказать его вину. В характере Коломбо есть две стороны: обезоруживающий и неряшливый детектив и скрытый гений-следователь. Гений иногда ярко проявляется в его глазах, как, например, когда иллюзионист Великий Сантини сбегает из полицейских наручников, которые Коломбо нарочито ему надевает во время представления («Now You See Him»). В некоторых случаях, таких как мстительный пожилой писатель в эпизоде «Попробуй меня поймать» и смертельно больная и заблуждающаяся актриса в эпизоде «Забытая леди», многие зрители находят убийцу более симпатичным, чем жертву. Каждый эпизод обычно заканчивается тем, что Коломбо доказывает вину убийцы, хотя в некоторых эпизодах, таких как «Лебединая песня», убийца признается или спокойно сдается полиции. В сериале редко пытаются обмануть зрителя или внести неожиданный поворот в сюжет. Исключением является «Последний салют коммодору», где Роберт Вон тщательно избавляется от тела, но позже выясняется, что он прикрывал свою жену-алкоголичку, которую он ошибочно считал убийцей. Иногда Коломбо устраивает убийце ловушку, чтобы спровоцировать признание. Например, в эпизоде «Кинжал разума» Коломбо подбрасывает жемчужину, являющуюся уликой, в зонтик жертвы, что приводит к компрометирующим действиям Николаса Фрейма и Лилиан Стэнхоуп.
After two pilot episodes, the show originally aired on NBC from 1971 to 1978 as one of the rotating programs of The NBC Mystery Movie. Columbo then aired less regularly on ABC beginning in 1989 under the umbrella of The ABC Mystery Movie. The last episode was broadcast in 2003 as part of ABC Thursday Night at the Movies. In almost every episode, the audience sees the crime unfold at the beginning and knows the identity of the culprit, typically an affluent member of society. Once Columbo enters the story (he rarely appears in the first act), viewers watch him solve the case by sifting through the contradictions between the truth and the version presented to him by the killer(s). This style of mystery is sometimes referred to as a "howcatchem", in contrast to the traditional whodunit. In structural analysis terms, the majority of the narrative is therefore dénouement, a feature normally reserved for the very end of a story. Episodes tend to be driven by their characters, the audience observing the criminal's reactions to Columbo's increasingly intrusive presence. When Columbo first appears in an episode, his genius is hidden from the viewer by his frumpy, friendly, and disarming demeanor. While the details, and eventually the motivations, of the murderers' actions are always shown to the viewer, Columbo's true thoughts and intentions are sometimes concealed until the end of the episode. He occasionally begins to whistle the tune "This Old Man" as the pieces begin to fall into place. Columbo generally maintains a friendly relationship with the murderer until the end, and sometimes even after their confession or incrimination, despite both characters being aware of their adversarial positions. The detective usually suspects the murderer within moments of their meeting, or even earlier, often based on their reaction to the news of the victim's death. The murderer in turn almost always immediately sees through Columbo's scruffy and absent minded manner to his underlying investigative intellect, and accordingly takes steps to divert his efforts by disguising evidence, manipulating witnesses, manufacturing evidence to lead Columbo towards a different suspect, and/or feigning irritation as an excuse for declining requests for searches and interrogations. In some cases the murderer will even taunt Columbo over his inability to prove their guilt. There are two sides to Columbo's character: the disarming and unkempt detective and the hidden genius sleuth. The genius sometimes starkly manifests itself through his eyes, as when the magician The Great Santini escapes from police handcuffs that Columbo coyly presents him during Santini's show ("Now You See Him "). In some instances, such as the avenging elderly mystery writer in "Try and Catch Me" and the terminally ill and deluded actress in "Forgotten Lady", many viewers find the killer more sympathetic than the victim. Each episode is generally concluded with Columbo proving the killer's guilt, though some episodes, such as "Swan Song", go on to show the killer confessing or quietly submitting to arrest. There are few attempts to deceive the viewer or provide a twist in the tale. One exception is "Last Salute to the Commodore", where Robert Vaughn is seen elaborately disposing of a body, but is proved later to have been covering for his alcoholic wife, whom he mistakenly thought to be the murderer. Sometimes, Columbo sets up the murderer with a trick designed to elicit a confession. An example occurs in "Dagger of the Mind", in which Columbo flips an evidentiary pearl into the victim's umbrella, bringing about incriminating activity from Nicholas Frame and Lillian Stanhope.
Развитие и характер
Персонаж Коломбо был создан командой писателей Ричарда Левинсона и Уильяма Линка, которые заявили, что Коломбо был частично вдохновлен персонажем Порфирия Петровича из романа Фёдора Достоевского «Преступление и наказание», а также скромным священником-детективом отцом Брауном из произведений Г. К. Честертона. Другие источники утверждают, что на образ Коломбо также повлиял инспектор Фише из французского триллера «Дьяволы» (Les Diaboliques, 1955). Первое появление персонажа состоялось в 1960 году в эпизоде телевизионного антологического сериала The Chevy Mystery Show под названием «Enough Rope». Левинсон и Линк адаптировали этот эпизод из своего рассказа «May I Come In», который был опубликован под названием «Dear Corpus Delicti» в журнале «Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine». В рассказе фигурировал полицейский лейтенант по имени Фишер. Первым актёром, воплотившим образ Коломбо, был характерный актёр Берт Фрид, коренастый мужчина с копной седых волос. Коломбо в исполнении Фрида носил помятый костюм и курил сигару; в остальном он мало походил на того Коломбо, которого мы знаем сегодня. Тем не менее, персонаж оставался узнаваемым и использовал некоторые из тех же приёмов, чтобы сбить подозреваемых с толку и отвлечь их внимание. В ходе развития сюжета всё более испуганный убийца оказывал давление со стороны окружной прокуратуры, требуя отстранить Коломбо от дела, но детектив давал отпор, используя свои связи. Несмотря на то, что Фрид был указан третьим в титрах, он получил почти столько же экранного времени, сколько и убийца, и появился сразу после первой рекламы. Эта задержка появления персонажа в повествовании стала определяющей чертой структуры сериала «Коломбо». Этот телеспектакль доступен для просмотра в архивах Paley Center for Media в Нью-Йорке и Лос-Анджелесе. Левинсон и Линк затем адаптировали телевизионную драму в театральную пьесу «Prescription: Murder». Премьера пьесы состоялась 2 января 1962 года в театре Курран в Сан-Франциско, с Оскароносным характерным актёром Томасом Митчеллом в роли Коломбо. Митчеллу на тот момент было 70 лет. В постановке также снялись Джозеф Коттен в роли убийцы и Агнес Мурхед в роли жертвы. Митчелл умер от рака во время гастролей пьесы; роль Коломбо стала его последней работой. В 1968 году по той же пьесе был снят двухчасовой телевизионный фильм, который транслировался на канале NBC. Авторы предлагали кандидатуры Ли Джей Кобба и Бинга Кросби на роль Коломбо, но Кобб был недоступен, а Кросби отказался, посчитав, что это отнимет слишком много времени от игры в гольф. Режиссёр Ричард Ирвинг убедил Левинсона и Линка, что Фолк, который с энтузиазмом заявил, что «убил бы за возможность сыграть этого копа», справится с ролью, хотя он был намного моложе, чем представляли себе авторы. Изначально задуманный как фильм недели, «Prescription: Murder» представляет Коломбо в исполнении Фолка, противостоящего психиатру (Джин Барри). В этом фильме психиатр даёт новой аудитории точное описание характера Коломбо. Благодаря успеху фильма NBC запросила создание пилотного эпизода потенциального сериала, чтобы оценить возможность регулярного продолжения персонажа, что привело к созданию девяностоминутного телевизионного фильма 1971 года «Выкуп за мертвого человека» с Ли Грант в роли убийцы. Популярность второго фильма послужила стимулом для создания регулярного сериала на канале NBC, премьера которого состоялась в сентябре 1971 года в рамках ротационного цикла «The NBC Mystery Movie»: «McCloud», «McMillan & Wife» и другие детективные истории. По данным TV Guide, первоначальный план заключался в еженедельном показе новых эпизодов «Коломбо». Однако Фолк отказался от такого плотного графика, учитывая его постоянную работу в кино. Сеть договорилась о показе эпизодов «Коломбо» раз в месяц по средам. Высокое качество «Коломбо», «McMillan & Wife» и «McCloud» во многом объяснялось дополнительным временем, затрачиваемым на каждый эпизод. Термин «wheel show» (шоу-колесо) был ранее придуман для описания этого формата, но ни одно предыдущее или последующее шоу-колесо не достигло такой долговечности или успеха, как «The NBC Mystery Movie». «Коломбо» сразу же завоевал популярность в рейтингах Нильсена, а Фолк получил премию «Эмми» за свою роль в первом сезоне шоу. Во второй год сериал «Mystery Movie» был перенесён на воскресные вечера, где и оставался на протяжении семи сезонов. Шоу стало ключевым элементом воскресного вечернего эфира NBC. «Коломбо» регулярно транслировался с 1971 по 1978 год. После отмены сериала NBC в 1978 году «Коломбо» был возрождён на канале ABC в период с 1989 по 2003 год в нескольких новых сезонах и нескольких телевизионных фильмах, снятых специально для телевидения. Гардероб Коломбо предоставлял сам Фолк; это была его собственная одежда, включая ботинки на высокой подошве и поношенное пальто, которое впервые появилось в «Prescription: Murder». Фолк часто импровизировал особенности своего персонажа (шарил по карманам в поисках улик и находил список покупок, просил одолжить карандаш, отвлекался на что-то неважное в комнате в драматический момент разговора с подозреваемым и т. д.), внося эти детали в свою игру, чтобы сбить с толку своих коллег по съёмочной площадке. Он считал, что это помогает сделать их смущённые и нетерпеливые реакции на выходки Коломбо более искренними. По словам Левинсона, фраза «ещё одна вещь» (one more thing) появилась, когда он и Линк писали пьесу: «У нас была сцена, которая была слишком короткой, и Коломбо уже покинул сцену. Мы были слишком ленивы, чтобы перепечатывать сцену, поэтому мы вернули его и заставили сказать: «О, ещё одна вещь». Это не было запланировано». У Фолкa диагностировали деменцию в конце 2007 года. Во время судебного процесса 2009 года по поводу его ухода врач Стивен Рид заявил, что состояние Фолкa ухудшилось настолько, что он больше не помнил, что играл персонажа по имени Коломбо и даже не мог его идентифицировать. Фолк умер 23 июня 2011 года в возрасте 83 лет.
The character of Columbo was created by the writing team of Richard Levinson and William Link, who said that Columbo was partially inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment character Porfiry Petrovich, as well as G. K. Chesterton's humble cleric detective Father Brown. Other sources claim Columbo's character is also influenced by Inspector Fichet from the French suspense thriller film Les Diaboliques (1955). The character first appeared in a 1960 episode of the television anthology series The Chevy Mystery Show, titled "Enough Rope". This was adapted by Levinson and Link from their short story "May I Come In", which had been published as "Dear Corpus Delicti" in an issue of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. The short story featured a police lieutenant then named Fisher. The first actor to portray Columbo, character actor Bert Freed, was a stocky character actor with a thatch of gray hair. Freed's Columbo wore a rumpled suit and smoked a cigar; he otherwise had few of the other now familiar Columbo mannerisms. The character is still recognizably Columbo and uses some of the same methods of misdirecting and distracting his suspects. During the course of the show, the increasingly frightened murderer brings pressure from the district attorney's office to have Columbo taken off the case, but the detective fights back with his own contacts. Although Freed received third billing, he wound up with almost as much screen time as the killer and appeared immediately after the first commercial. This delayed entry of the character into the narrative of the screenplay became a defining characteristic of the structure of the Columbo series. This teleplay is available for viewing in the archives of the Paley Center for Media in New York City and Los Angeles. Levinson and Link then adapted the TV drama into the stage play Prescription: Murder. This was first performed at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco on January 2, 1962, with Oscar winning character actor Thomas Mitchell in the role of Columbo. Mitchell was 70 years old at the time. The stage production starred Joseph Cotten as the murderer and Agnes Moorehead as the victim. Mitchell died of cancer while the play was touring in out of town tryouts; Columbo was his last role. In 1968, the same play was made into a two hour television movie that aired on NBC. The writers suggested Lee J. Cobb and Bing Crosby for the role of Columbo, but Cobb was unavailable and Crosby turned it down because he felt it would take too much time away from the golf links. Director Richard Irving convinced Levinson and Link that Falk, who excitedly said he "would kill to play that cop", could pull it off even though he was much younger than the writers had in mind. Originally a one off movie of the week, Prescription: Murder has Falk's Columbo pitted against a psychiatrist (Gene Barry). In this movie, the psychiatrist gives the new audience a perfect description of Columbo's character. Due to the success of this film, NBC requested that a pilot for a potential series be made to see if the character could be sustained on a regular basis, leading to the 1971 ninety minute television production, Ransom for a Dead Man, with Lee Grant playing the killer. The popularity of the second film prompted the creation of a regular series on NBC, that premiered in September 1971 as part of The NBC Mystery Movie wheel series rotation: McCloud, McMillan & Wife, and other whodunits. According to TV Guide, the original plan was that a new Columbo episode would air every week. However, Falk refused to commit to such a busy schedule given his steady work in motion pictures. The network arranged for the Columbo segments to air once a month on Wednesday nights. The high quality of Columbo, McMillan & Wife, and McCloud was due in large part to the extra time spent on each episode. The term wheel show had been previously coined to describe this format, but no previous or subsequent wheel show achieved the longevity or success of The NBC Mystery Movie. Columbo was an immediate hit in the Nielsen ratings and Falk won an Emmy Award for his role in the show's first season. In its second year the Mystery Movie series was moved to Sunday nights, where it then remained during its seven season run. The show became the anchor of NBC's Sunday night lineup. Columbo aired regularly from 1971 to 1978. After NBC canceled it in 1978, Columbo was revived on ABC between 1989 and 2003 in several new seasons and a few made for TV movie "specials". Columbo's wardrobe was provided by Falk; they were his clothes, including the high topped shoes and the shabby raincoat, which made its first appearance in Prescription: Murder. Falk often ad libbed his character's idiosyncrasies (fumbling through his pockets for a piece of evidence and discovering a grocery list, asking to borrow a pencil, becoming distracted by something irrelevant in the room at a dramatic point in a conversation with a suspect, etc. ), inserting these into his performance as a way to keep his fellow actors off balance. He felt it helped to make their confused and impatient reactions to Columbo's antics more genuine. According to Levinson, the catchphrase "one more thing" was conceived when he and Link were writing the play: "we had a scene that was too short, and we had already had Columbo make his exit. We were too lazy to retype the scene, so we had him come back and say, 'Oh, just one more thing.' It was never planned." Falk was diagnosed with dementia in late 2007. During a 2009 trial over his care, physician Stephen Read stated that Falk's condition had deteriorated so badly that he could no longer remember playing a character named Columbo, nor could he identify Columbo. Falk died on June 23, 2011, aged 83.
Гостевые звезды
В сериале снималось множество приглашенных звезд в ролях убийц и других персонажей. Некоторые актеры появлялись в нем неоднократно, каждый раз исполняя разные роли; среди них – Джек Кэссиди, Роберт Калп, Тайн Дэйли, Джордж Гамильтон, Патрик МакГухан, Лесли Нильсен, Дик Ван Дайк и Уильям Шатнер.
The series featured many guest stars as murderers and in other roles. Some actors appeared more than once, playing a different character each time; among those actors are Jack Cassidy, Robert Culp, Tyne Daly, George Hamilton, Patrick McGoohan, Leslie Nielsen, Dick Van Dyke, and William Shatner.
Режиссёры и сценаристы
Премьера первого сезона "Убийство по книге" была написана Стивеном Бочко, а режиссером выступил Стивен Спилберг. Джонатан Демме снял седьмой эпизод сезона "Убийство под стеклом". Джонатан Латимер также был сценаристом. Актер Бен Газзара, друг Фалька, снял эпизоды "Друг на все случаи жизни" (1974) и "Неспокойные воды" (1975). Сам Фолк снял последний эпизод первого сезона, "Чертеж для убийства", и написал эпизод "Все дело в игре" в десятом сезоне. Актер Николас Коласанто, наиболее известный по роли тренера в сериале "Cheers", снял два эпизода: "Лебединая песня" с Джонни Кэшем и "Этюд в черном". Патрик МакГухан снял пять эпизодов (в том числе три из четырех, в которых он сыграл убийцу), а также написал и спродюсировал два эпизода. Винсент МакИвити был частым режиссером, и ему был отдан юмористический комплимент в виде упоминания персонажа с его фамилией в эпизоде "Под прикрытием" (который он и режиссировал). Два эпизода, "Не время умирать" и "Под прикрытием", были основаны на романах Эда Макбейна из серии "87-й участок", и поэтому не полностью соответствуют стандартному формату детективных историй Коломбо с инвертированным сюжетом.
The first season première "Murder by the Book" was written by Steven Bochco and directed by Steven Spielberg. Jonathan Demme directed the seventh season episode "Murder Under Glass". Jonathan Latimer was also a writer. Actor Ben Gazzara, a friend of Falk's, directed the episodes "A Friend in Deed" (1974) and "Troubled Waters" (1975). Falk himself directed the last episode of the first season, "Blueprint for Murder," and wrote the episode entitled "It's All in the Game" in season 10. Actor Nicholas Colasanto, best known for playing Coach on Cheers, directed two episodes, "Swan Song" with Johnny Cash, and "Étude in Black". Patrick McGoohan directed five episodes (including three of the four in which he played the murderer) and wrote and produced two. Vincent McEveety was a frequent director, and homage was paid to him by a humorous mention of a character with his surname in the episode "Undercover" (which he directed). Two episodes, "No Time to Die" and "Undercover", were based on the 87th Precinct novels by Ed McBain, and thus do not strictly follow the standard Columbo/inverted detective story format.

Columbo No. 7 on its 50 Greatest TV Characters of All Time list. In 2012, the program was ranked the third best cop or legal show on Best in TV: The Greatest TV Shows of Our Time. In 2013, TV Guide included it in its list of The 60 Greatest Dramas of All Time and ranked it 33rd on its list of the 60 Best Series. Also in 2013, the Writers Guild of America ranked it 57th on its list of 101 Best Written TV Series. In December 2023, Variety ranked Columbo #85 on its list of the 100 greatest TV shows of all time.

Международный прием
"Коломбо" имел международный успех во время своего первоначального показа и был синдицирован в 44 странах. Согласно статье 1989 года в Chicago Tribune, когда производство "Коломбо" было остановлено и новые эпизоды не могли быть показаны в Румынии, правительство опасалось, что могут вспыхнуть беспорядки, и Госдепартамент США попросил Фалька записать специальное обращение для трансляции по румынскому телевидению. Фальк повторил эту историю в своем выступлении на Late Show с Дэвидом Леттерманом в 1995 году и в своих мемуарах "Just One More Thing". Хотя текст речи Фалька был опубликован в рамках утечки дипломатической переписки США, остается спорным, действительно ли отмена "Коломбо" могла привести к беспорядкам или каким-либо массовым протестам. В 2014 году в Будапеште, Венгрия, на улице Миксы Фалька был установлен памятник лейтенанту Коломбо и его собаке. По словам Антала Рогана, тогдашнего главы района города, Питер Фальк мог быть родственником венгерского писателя и политика Миксы Фалька, хотя пока нет никаких доказательств, подтверждающих это.
Columbo was an international success during its initial run and was syndicated in 44 countries. According to a 1989 article in the Chicago Tribune, when production of Columbo stopped and no new episodes could be broadcast in Romania, the government feared that riots could break out, and Falk was asked by the U. S. State Department to record a special announcement to be broadcast on Romanian television. The story was repeated by Falk in an appearance on Late Show with David Letterman in 1995, and in Falk's memoir Just One More Thing. While the cable containing Falk's speech was released as part of the United States diplomatic cables leak, it is disputed whether riots or any kind of mass protest were imminent due to the cancellation of Columbo. A statue of Lieutenant Columbo and his dog was unveiled in 2014 on Miksa Falk Street in Budapest, Hungary. According to Antal Rogán, then district mayor of the city, Peter Falk may have been related to Hungarian writer and politician Miksa Falk, although there is no evidence yet to prove it.
Возобновление популярности в 2020-х годах
В 2020-х годах несколько изданий в СМИ отметили возрождение популярности «Коломбо» среди гораздо более молодой аудитории. Slate процитировал фан-страницу «Коломбо» на Tumblr, где говорится, что главный герой «воплощает тип мужественности, который очень привлекателен для многих представителей ЛГБТК+». Collider и BBC подчеркнули нестареющий характер игры Питера Фолка. GameRant предположил, что сериал – это «уютный просмотр», а его повторяющийся характер легко становится основой для интернет-мемов.
In the 2020s, the renewed popularity of Columbo with much younger audiences has been noted by several media publications. Slate quoted a Columbo fan page on Tumblr as saying that the titular character "represents a kind of masculinity that is very attractive to a lot of queer people". Collider and the BBC emphasized the timeless nature of Peter Falk's performance. GameRant suggested that the show is "comfort viewing" and that its repetitive nature easily engenders Internet memes.

DVD-диск
По состоянию на 10 января 2012 года Universal Studios выпустила все 69 эпизодов "Коломбо" на DVD. Эпизоды выходят в том же хронологическом порядке, в котором они были первоначально показаны. 16 октября 2012 года Universal выпустила "Коломбо: Полное собрание сериала" на DVD в Регионе 1. Поскольку эпизоды "Коломбо" с 1989 по 2003 год демонстрировались очень редко, по всему миру были выпущены различные DVD-наборы. Во многих странах 2-го и 4-го регионов все эпизоды были выпущены в виде 10 сезонов, 10-й из которых включает последние 14 эпизодов, от "Коломбо идет в колледж" (1990) до "Коломбо любит ночную жизнь" (2003). Во Франции и Нидерландах (также в Регионе 2) DVD были сгруппированы иначе и выпущены в 12 сезонов. В Регионе 1 все эпизоды, начиная с 8-го сезона, сгруппированы по-другому; эпизоды, которые первоначально транслировались на ABC, были выпущены под названием COLUMBO: The Mystery Movie Collection.

In France and The Netherlands (also Region 2), the DVDs were grouped differently and released as 12 seasons.

Блю-рей
Полный сериал был выпущен на Blu-ray в Японии в 2011 году в виде десятисезонного набора, созданного на основе новых HD-мастеров и в оригинальном формате изображения 1.33:1 (4:3) (эпизоды 1989–2003 годов представлены в формате 1.78:1 (16:9)). В набор входят 35 дисков, упакованных в стилизованную деревянную коробку для сигар. Он включает брошюру с информацией об эпизодах и сценарий японской версии эпизода "Рецепт для убийства". Среди дополнительных материалов – оригинальная 96-минутная версия "Этюда в черном" и оригинальная заставка к телефильму "Тайна" NBC. Кроме того, многие эпизоды содержат отдельные дорожки с музыкой и звуковыми эффектами. До выхода этого набора на DVD в Японии были выпущены только эпизоды до "Убийства, автопортрет". В конце 2023 года специализированный дистрибьютор кинокомпания Kino Lorber выпустила первые 7 сезонов "Коломбо" на Blu-ray в Северной Америке, используя ремастеринг от NBCUniversal. Изначально планировалось включить в Blu-ray аудиокомментарии к каждому эпизоду, но впоследствии от этой идеи отказались по неясным причинам.
The complete series was released on Blu ray in Japan in 2011 as a ten season set, taken from new HD masters and original 1.33:1 (4:3) aspect ratio (1989–2003 episodes are presented in 1.78:1 (16:9)). The set contains 35 discs and is presented in a faux wooden cigar box. It features a brochure with episode details, and a script for the Japanese version of Prescription: Murder. Special features include the original 96 minute version of Étude In Black and the original NBC Mystery Movie title sequence. In addition, many episodes include isolated music and sound effects tracks. Before this set's release, only the episodes up to Murder, a Self Portrait were released on DVD in Japan. In late 2023, specialist film distributor Kino Lorber released the first 7 seasons of Columbo on Blu ray in North America, using an NBCUniversal remaster. Although it was planned that the Blu ray would have a commentary track for each episode, it was later cancelled for unexplained reasons.
Этап
Персонаж Коломбо впервые появился на сцене в 1962 году в спектакле "Рецепт для убийства" с Томасом Митчеллом в роли Коломбо. В 2010 году "Рецепт для убийства" был возобновлен для гастролей по Великобритании с Дирком Бенедиктом, а затем с Джоном Геррасио в роли Коломбо.
The Columbo character first appeared on stage in 1962 in Prescription: Murder with Thomas Mitchell in the role of Columbo. In 2010, Prescription: Murder was revived for a tour of the United Kingdom with Dirk Benedict and later John Guerrasio as Columbo.
Телевидение
Фолк появился в роли Коломбо в скетче сериала "Alias", созданном для телевизионного специального выпуска 2003 года, посвященного 50-летию телеканала ABC. Фолк выступил в роли Коломбо в 1977 году на церемонии "The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast" Фрэнка Синатры.
Falk appeared as Columbo in an Alias sketch produced for a 2003 TV special celebrating the 50th anniversary of ABC. Falk appeared in character as Columbo in 1977 at The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast of Frank Sinatra.
Кино
В то время как Фолк обычно появлялся в роли самого себя в фильме Вима Вендерса 1987 года Der Himmel über Berlin ("Крылья желания"), в фильме также есть короткое эпизодическое появление, где Фолк конкретно узнаётся и приветствуется как "Коломбо" проходящей мимо парой.
While Falk generally appeared as himself in Wim Wenders's 1987 movie Der Himmel über Berlin ("Wings of Desire"), there is also a short cameo appearance in the film where Falk is specifically recognized and greeted as "Columbo" by a couple of bywalkers.
Г-жа Коломбо отпрыск
Миссис Коломбо, спин-офф сериала с Кейт Малгрю, вышел в эфир в 1979 году и был закрыт после всего тринадцати эпизодов. Лейтенанта Коломбо в «Миссис Коломбо» так и не показали; каждый эпизод рассказывал о находчивой миссис Коломбо, здесь представленной под именем Кейт, расследующей убийство, с которым она сталкивалась в своей работе репортера газеты. Связь с оригинальным сериалом «Коломбо» была очевидной: бросающаяся в глаза машина Коломбо на подъездной дорожке, собака и миссис Коломбо, вытряхивающая пепельницы, наполненные знаменитыми зелеными окурками сигар – все это демонстрировалось в заставке. Также упоминалось, что муж Кейт – лейтенант полиции.
Mrs. Columbo, a spin off TV series starring Kate Mulgrew, aired in 1979 and was canceled after only thirteen episodes. Lt. Columbo was never seen on Mrs. Columbo; each episode featured the resourceful Mrs. Columbo, here given the first name Kate, solving a murder mystery she encountered in her work as a newspaper reporter. Connections with the original Columbo series were made obvious: the glaring presence of Columbo's car in the driveway, the dog and Mrs. Columbo emptying ashtrays containing the famous green cigar butts—all featured in the show's opening sequence. References were also made to Kate's husband being a police lieutenant.
Иск в "Энциклопедию тривиа"
Имя Коломбо примечательно никогда не упоминается в сериале, но "Фрэнк Коломбо" или "лейтенант Фрэнк Коломбо" изредка можно увидеть на его полицейском удостоверении. Эта двусмысленность, касающаяся имени Коломбо, побудила создателя энциклопедии The Trivia Encyclopedia, Фреда Л. Уорта, включить ложную запись, в которой "Филипп Коломбо" указывался как полное имя Коломбо, в качестве ловушки на нарушение авторских прав. Когда в настольной игре "Trivial Pursuit" ("Тривиальная погоня") "Филипп" был указан в качестве ответа на вопрос "Как звали Коломбо по имени?", Уорт подал в суд на создателей игры с иском о возмещении ущерба в размере 300 миллионов долларов. Создатели игры утверждали, что, хотя они и использовали The Trivia Encyclopedia в качестве одного из источников, факты не защищены авторским правом и нет ничего предосудительного в использовании энциклопедии при создании игры, основанной на фактах. Судья окружного суда согласился с этим, и решение было подтверждено Апелляционным судом девятого округа США в сентябре 1987 года. Уорт обратился в Верховный суд США с просьбой пересмотреть дело, но суд отказался, отказав в принятии к рассмотрению (certiorari) в марте 1988 года.
Columbo's first name is notably never mentioned in the series, but "Frank Columbo" or "Lt. Frank Columbo" can occasionally be seen on his police ID. This ambiguity surrounding Columbo's first name led the creator of The Trivia Encyclopedia, Fred L. Worth, to include a false entry that listed "Philip Columbo" as Columbo's full name as a copyright trap. When the board game Trivial Pursuit included "Philip" as the answer to the question, "What was Columbo's first name? ", Worth launched a $300 million lawsuit against the creators of the game. The creators of the game argued that while they did use The Trivia Encyclopedia as one of their sources, facts are not copyrightable and there was nothing improper about using an encyclopedia in the production of a fact based game. The district court judge agreed and the decision was upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in September 1987. Worth petitioned the Supreme Court of the United States to review the case, but the Court declined, denying certiorari in March 1988.
