Trivia
This show was intended as the pilot for a spin-off of the MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. series; Mary Ann Mobley and Norman Fell portrayed April Dancer and Mark Slate, respectively. They were replaced with Stefanie Powers and Noel Harrison for the actual series when it was finally shot and aired.

When Mark Slade is fighting in the laundry area and the alley he takes a laundry basket out of the van and places it in the alley. On the end of the basket it has writing that says "D.C." However after the fight in the laundry room he returns to the laundry basket in the same place but this time it says "Dry Cleaning." Somewhere along the way they rotated the laundry basket.

What might have been

This fine episode stars Mary Ann Mobley as April Dance and Norman Fell as Mark Slate. It introduces them as a set-up for the series "The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.," which would air the following season, starring Stefanie Powers as April and Noel Harrison as Mark. Stefanie has had a distinguished career and is perhaps best known for her long run as co-star of "Hart to Hart." Noel was an excellent actor. Still, I wish we could have kept Mary Ann and Norman in those roles in the new series. Both were, I think, very underrated, especially Mary Ann. Beautiful (a former Miss America) and loaded with charm, she really deserved to have a series of her own in the 1960's. This episode is very entertaining, and she and Norman work together very well. As usual, the great Kevin McCarthy elevates everything he does, including this. This episode, written by superstar scripter Dean Hargrove and directed by Joseph Sargent, is a big winner. Watch it!
