Facts about

The house with pool used in the final scene is the same house and pool used in Backlash of the Hunter and later in The Most Crucial Game.
The role of Lt. Columbo was offered to Lee J. Cobb, but he had to decline due to a clash in scheduling.
This film would later on become a subject of controversy due to a very politically incorrect line uttered to Dr. Flemming late in the film. Columbo says that Flemming will not be able to get away with the crime on account of the fact that he had employed a woman as an accomplice, since she wouldn't be able to keep her mouth shut. The woman, Miss Hudson, does subsequently spill her guts and Flemming is apprehended. Later on, in most versions of the movie, this line was removed, as it was deemed chauvinistic.
