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.

No, there is not. None at all. I saw this when it came out. Anyway, West is mistaken - he's confusing another season of the television show with the movie. They had to replace Newmar with Kitt. HammerFilmFan (talk) 08:52, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Merge

I vote to merge 6-18-67 into a new section on this article. 74.13.109.25 (talk) 16:17, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I vote no, as these are two separate and unique films that are notable on their own terms. No merge is necessary. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:03, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Mackenna's Gold

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Mackenna's Gold's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 14:49, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Tiomkin

It is mentioned in the text to great length that Tiomkin was hired as the composer, but did he do anything or was every composition Quincy Jones? --Clibenfoart (talk) 10:06, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
