70s Spots: Right Guard (Parker Stevenson, 1971) & Dial Antiperspirant (1974)

Frank Hardy for Right Guard, 1970

“In the silver can!”

Here’s a pair of antiperspirant commercials featuring ancient, environmentally-unfriendly spray cans. The Right Guard spot was produced in 1970 and aired on the first day of 1971. It stars an 18 year old Parker Stevenson of The Hardy Boys. I think the other actor may be Toni Kalem from The Wanderers and The Sopranos, but I’m not sure about that.

The second spot, for Dial, aired in February of 1974.
