One of the best Bond dialogue scenes


I've always enjoyed the conversation Bond has with Columbo after waking up on his boat. At first we think Columbo's a bad guy; Bond himself isn't sure. Columbo knows this, but takes a huge risk to himself by handing Bond his loaded gun, to show him that he's on the level. Just a well-written scene with snappy dialogue and a satisfying end.

It certainly is, spot on there.

Unusually though, Columbo doesn't say, "Just one more thing sir, just one question", or , "My wife, she's a big fan of yours sir, big fan". Or have a raincoat.

... or offer James a yogurt.

Or visit Kristatos on the set of his latest film. Kristatos would pretend to be happy to help him but as Columbo walked away, the camera would zoom in on Kristatos's hardening face.

I always thought that scene was the most boring part of this movie
