Trivia
This is one of the few episodes of Columbo (1971) in which the original murder is a spontaneous act. In most episodes, the murder is carefully planned.

Goofs
There was a blind witness present when the murderer's car hit a column. Surely the car was damaged and either material from the bumper smeared on the column or material from the column smeared on the bumper, but the police failed to check for any such evidence.

Quotes
Charles Whelan: [watching a rat in a maze] He looks just like one of my junior editors!
Dr. Anita Borden: We call her Willy.
Charles Whelan: Sorry, I don't have a Willy.
