#9227-27 - Lt. Col. Steve Canyon (Dean Fredericks) is lining up a date for the evening on his return to his base in Puerto Rico, after completing his mission in the STEVE CANYON episode, "STRIKE FORCE."
That's what the legend says on the back of this original publicity photo...not a thing about the "First Spanish Girl" (Yvonne Preble, middle) as listed in the on-screen credits, or the "Second Spanish Girl" (Mary Tyler Moore, right) in one of her very first appearances on television! Remember, you saw it here first, again another rare and probably never before published photo. It's interesting that quite a few MTM/Dick Van Dyke Show alumni probably met on this series!
