Film, or not?

So, this article is very odd. It says there was only a kinescope record of the live television performance, but also says it was "released theatrically as a film in Europe" with a note referring to an IMDB page. On that page, we learn "A re-edited version of this episode was released theatrically in Europe and thus is often listed among Audrey Hepburn's films." This seems to be in direct contradiction to the statement "it was not thought the production had a future beyond the single live network broadcast; only a few prints were made, which were loaned, not given, to a few people involved with the production", unless the European theatre release was done after the remastering for DVD. The note on IMDB refers one to a website called "Films Around the World" (https://www.filmsaroundtheworld.com/Golden_Age_of_TV.html}, which is expired, but I found the DVD for sale on Amazon.com, with little information, but a note saying "Release date: ‎July 31, 2013", and a first review dated July 1st 2013, however that might work. If there really was a European theatrical release of that version would seem doubtful, as it was just a cleaned up B&W kinescope, which wouldn't attract much interest in the 21st century. Certainly stronger evidence for that statement is required. 2001:56A:F0E9:9B00:C901:DCA4:A37F:14F1 (talk) 08:29, 2 February 2023 (UTC)JustSomeWikiReaderReply
