[edit] Release date

I moved David M. Burns' Jan. 15, 2007 comments here:

As I have pointed out before, the date assigned to this film by Wikipedia (and numerous other sites)---1969---is doubtful at best. How do I know this? One, on a TV interview, Adam West commented that Julie Newmar was unavailable to play the role of Catwoman in the 1966 film Batman because she was committed to acting in Mackenna's Gold, which was filming at the same time. Two, this site---http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=4122---confirms this. I find it hard to believe that a film made in 1966 would either still be shooting three years later or had its release held up until that time.

While this is not ironclad proof of 1966 as release date, it throws a great deal of doubt on 1969 as release date.
