Quotes from
Lt. Columbo:
There's just one more thing, sir!
Dr. Ray Flemming: Well, what is it? Tell me!
Lt. Columbo: Well, um, somebody broke in here and tried to kill her.
Dr. Ray Flemming: [Flemming feigns shock for a moment when the words register] "Tried" to kill her?
Lt. Columbo: That's right, Doctor. She's lucky she's still alive.
Dr. Ray Flemming: [feigning relief] She's still alive! Well, where is she now? Is she conscious? Has she been able to say anything?
Lt. Columbo: Well, I'm afraid not. She's been in a coma.
Dr. Ray Flemming: Well, what's her condition right now? Oh, come on, I must know the truth!
Lt. Columbo: It's not very good, Doctor. We only hope she comes to long enough to be able to talk to us.
Carol Flemming: [talking about their friend Burt Gordon] I never saw anyone work as hard, including you.
Dr. Ray Flemming: But I didn't have to. My wife had a rich father.
Carol Flemming: [smiling] And you married me for my money.
Dr. Ray Flemming: Not yours, darling. Your father's.

Facts about
Bing Crosby was also offered the role of Columbo, but didn't accept it because he felt that it would interfere with his golfing.
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.
Several different sources have different first names for Columbo. By focusing in on his badge he occasionally flashed, some say it was Frank some say it was Joseph. Trivial Persuit has it as Philip, which they got from a trivia book that purposely made it up to see if anyone was paying attention. The writers say he definitely was not given a first name.
