30 years no time to die
09/03/2021
They've been waiting almost two years. Fans of well-groomed gentlemanly action with one-liners that are as dry as the martinis will soon be able to watch the 25th James Bond film "No time to die" in cinemas.
What probably only very few people know: There was already a movie with this title in 1992. It was an episode of "Columbo", which was given the much more martial name "Bluthochzeit" (engl. "Blood Wedding") in German-speaking countries. Columbo is of course well known to classic car fans, after all he drove a rotten Peugeot 403 Cabriolet ( report on zwischengas ) .
The German editors probably wanted to conceal the fact that it was the only episode of the entire series in which no murder was committed. This episode also deviates from the usual Columbo norm in two other respects: the inspector doesn't exchange a single word with the perpetrator, as he – like the viewer – doesn't know who he is until the end. In addition, for the first and only time, a member of Columbo's lavish family can be seen, which he otherwise only tells the audience and the increasingly annoyed murderer about.
Fans of the American street scene of the early nineties are particularly recommended to watch "No time to die", as the search for a certain car model is an important part of the plot. However, it does not feature an Aston Martin.
