Subject: 15.2023 Columbo and Shakespeare?
Comment:        Re: SHK 15.2023 Columbo and Shakespeare?

There are quite a few unsourced comments on the web to the effect that
Columbo was based on Petrovich.  Most of them say that the connection
was confirmed in a public interview by one of the show's creators,
Richard Levinson, for example
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_g1epc/is_tov/ai_2419100270,
but I can't find a specific citation to the original.  As Levinson died
in 1987, one can't contact him and ask!
