Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaColumbo alludes to "Candidate for Crime" in both episodes that immediately followed it in the original broadcast schedule. In this episode, Columbo says he's been "working late on the Hayward case," referring to Nelson Hayward, the politician who murders his campaign manager in "Candidate for Crime," the preceding episode. This is an unusual acknowledgment that Columbo handles multiple cases at the same time. Then, in the next episode, "Publish or Perish," Columbo tells killer Riley Greenleaf (Jack Cassidy) that he wants to write a book about his experiences and describes, as an example, the plot of "Candidate for Crime," to which Greenleaf responds, "Lieutenant, very frankly, I don't give a damn about your Senator or your story."
- GoofsWhen Columbo is riding in the golf cart with Dr. Kepple, there are no golf clubs on the cart and Dr. Kepple uses the same club for three consecutive shots, including one near the green - something no good golfer would do.
- Quotes
Lt. Columbo: My wife's got no head for crime. We go to those whodunit movies, she always picks the wrong murderer. I wanna tell you something: If my wife decided to murder me, she could come up with a better alibi than you got.

Featured review
One of the very best Columbo-episodes
"Double Exposure" is one of the best in this long running series that peaked in the 70's to my opinion. As these films are no whodunnit's, the detective's opponent needs to be a strong character. You bet Robert Culp is one.And he is in top-form as Bart Keppel with his 'subliminal cuts' in advertisement. I think I've seen this one about ten times now and it's still very good entertainment. Note : Culp is also in one or two other episodes, notably in 'The Most Crucial Game'. Brilliant cat-and-mouse-play.
