A squabble over a valuable art collection proves murder is not a pretty picture in this episode of the popular detective series Columbo. Frank Simpson (Don Ameche) is a aging multimillionaire who collects art and has a number of extremely valuable pieces in his possession. When Simpson is found murdered in his home, evidence suggests that the killing was the work of ruthless burglars, but Lt. Columbo (Peter Falk), who has been assigned to look into the homicide, discovers that Randy Matthews (Ross Martin), Simpson's nephew, was recently cut out of the collector's will, leaving him to wonder if the crime could be a family affair. Also featuring Kim Hunter and Vic Tayback, Columbo: Suitable for Framing was first aired on November 17, 1971.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for Columbo. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
Suitable for Framing is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 29 out of 106, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 1h 30m runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
How OnlySynopsis Builds This Page
