Columbo’s Tilt

What I love about Columbo is that, like me, he’s kind of a mess, but that, like me, there are certain things he just can’t let go of. Events in later episodes make this interpretation impossible, but early on, many believed that Columbo didn’t actually have the wife he often talked about, and I still prefer this interpretation of the character, that all he really has is the connection he forms with the killer in each episode, and his pursuit of the truth. That it’s everything to him. It’s the whole world.
