StoneKeeper's Summer Movie Guessing Game 1125 [Prescription: Murder (1968) - Kawada_Kira wins]
I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guess, I will give a hint that connects your guess with the movie I have in mind.
For each guess, a connection is posted. Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, actor, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve Cabbage Patch Kids. Also, you can use Metascore color or rating, Rotten Tomatoes score, any award wins or nominations in common, same number of words in the title, plot keywords.
- The winner can either start a new game or say "pass". In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another one.
- After 12 hints and 13 guesses, the point goes to the OP and he/she gets to start another one.
- Movie must have at least 3500 IMDB votes. Otherwise, add a bonus hint.
- Maximum 2 guesses per player per hint.
- Can't edit a guess once posted. Delete ONLY

Prescription: Murder (1968) spawned Columbo. It was Peter Falk's first performance as the character. It wasn't a pilot episode, it was meant as a standalone movie. The rest is a TV history. It's a fascinating peek at the origins of a character--the rain coat is there, but Columbo is more clean cut, his hair all in place. It's also an interesting time capsule of the late 60s without the hippie element.
