A Matter of Honour

Product Information

However, rather than run his adversary through, Montoya decides against making a bad situation worse. Instead of wrapping the sword around Columbo’s insides, he wraps it in his muleta and hands both over to the policeman: a clear and public sign of the respect he holds for the man who has brought his world crashing down. We see in this moment that Montoya is not entirely irredeemable and he is, at the last, a man of honour. In June 1966 disgraced British colonel Gerald Scott leaves a mysterious letter to his only son, Adam Scott. Adam's mother tells him that she had already asked his father to destroy the letter. I am Latin American, and on the 70’s that is pretty much how things were; it is stereotypical, but true! And the car insurance scene is very good in showing the real comparison btw the 2 countries; car in Latin American countries is a luxury goods, and insurances are very expensive and became popular and more affordable just on the past 15 to 20 years. But if I were to take you at your word, Comrade General Secretary," said the head of the KGB, trying to disguise his disbelief, "I could so easily end up spending far more than the painting is worth." Once there, head up the long, curved wooden bridge from the road. However, around halfway up, jump onto the roof of the huts below. Mahina is in the hut furthest away and there's no open door to get in, so you have to get in through a hole in the roof.

He'll explain that his bride was kidnapped by someone from a neighbouring village. He's meant to go and reclaim her himself to restore his honour, but he's too scared. If you find and return his bride to him, he'll give you his father's machete, as he dishonours it.

Set in 1966 A Matter of Honour is quite the spy romp, whilst the main character himself isn't a spy per se, he nonetheless is thrust into the world of international men of mystery when his father bequests to him an envelope within which is a letter from Hermann Goring (the German Reichsmarschall) containing instructions enabling him to collect a Russian artifact which was seized by the Nazis. I find this perhaps the poorest written of any episode. It is entertaining for me because of the cast and the colorful Mexican setting. Aside-I had no problem with Emilio Fernandez’s character. Seemed realistic for an old ranch hand to drink on down time. Since viewing the Wrath of Khan and Naked Gun in the 1980s I’ve been a big admirer of Montalban. Although galaxies apart in those two examples, one thing you get with him is intelligent, brooding menace and a sense that he would end an enemy’s life for two copper coins without feeling a shred of remorse.

They had both loved him in such different ways I'm sure everything will be just fine, mother," he replied. "The Foreign Office have asked to see me a Extreme Omnivore: Before his transfer, Riker indulges in Klingon cuisine, which includes serpent worms called gagh. He seems to actually enjoy it, though Pulaski and Picard both gag at the stuff. Oddly, he's the only one to mispronounce gagh to rhyme with "bog" rather than "Bach." Later on, in the Klingon mess hall, he discovers that Klingons actually eat their gagh while it's still alive. Despite initial hesitation, he eventually takes the plunge. Still, regular readers will know I’m a lover not a (bull) fighter when it comes to Columbo, so what positives can we take from A Matter of Honor? Well as detailed earlier, the relationship between Sanchez and Columbo is really strong. The way their camaraderie grows feels authentic – it’s very well written and the performances are top rate, making their burgeoning friendship the most compelling aspect of the episode. Zaborski slowly read the hand-written testimony that had been signed by the Tsar hours before his execution. Zaborski's hands began to tremble and a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead long before he

Anyway, Columbo is now staggering under weight of evidence and admits to Sanchez that he has a crazy notion as to why Montoya would murder Hector, but he doesn’t think anyone will believe him. Quite what this notion is remains secret for now as Columbo heads to Montoya’s place ( again) to seek final clues.

Knowing that he has to return to LA imminently, Columbo looks set to have leave the investigation in Sanchez’s hands. But a visit to the cop’s home creates his lightbulb moment. Sanchez’s children are playing at matador and bull. It’s windy, so they wet the muleta to stop it blowing in the wind – just like a real matador would.Columbo remembers the weather report for the day of Hector’s death. Heavy winds came up around the ranch at 5pm – around the time Montoya said Hector must have fought Marinaro. An experienced fighter like Hector would therefore have wet the cape to prevent it blowing around and endangering his own life. But there were no watermarks on the cape!

Although he knew there will not be much of financial benefit, he comes in possession of a letter that can change his life around.
