73 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

I've mentioned it before in these reviews of old made for TV crime shows, those which now get broadcast as TV movies, a big part of their appeal is always who the guest stars are. That is most certainly the case with "Columbo...

An American Tail (1986)

80 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy

Columbo: Strange Bedfellows (1995)

89 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie
