Review of A Case of Immunity

I never really liked this episode. I like Hector Elizondo and Sal Mineo but I never liked this episode probably because of the middle eastern politics or the misrepresentation of cultures. Anyway, it's a typical Columbo where the chief suspect is the star. The ending is predictable and how Columbo gets his man or woman in this case is also worth watching to the viewers. For most people in the 1970s, I don't think Middle-eastern men and women were shown kindly or at all in my opinion. At least, this episode does it's best to use a fictional nation rather than spur off controversy. At least, Hector's character can be likable and complicated, rather than just a simple stereotype. The people at Columbo were smart to avoid any possible controversial topics or approaches to the story without offending anybody. It wouldn't be a good episode or Columbo at all if it insulted people from any particular walk of life.
