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.
Originally written as a Broadway play, the production was out of town bound for Broadway in 1962 when Thomas Mitchell (who was playing Columbo) died. The production closed and the script was later reworked for television. This film, which established Peter Falk as the definitive Lt. Columbo, was adapted from the 1962 play by the same authors. The play in turn had been adapted from Enough Rope, in which Bert Freed originated the role of Columbo.
The role of Lt. Columbo was offered to Lee J. Cobb, but he had to decline due to a clash in scheduling.
