She has a similar situation with their first kiss. On page 172, Volume 1, in a passage just before a section subtitled, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 9, 1963, she relates a moving scenario of their first kiss. After the setup, she writes this:
Lee then reached for me, and kissed me. Goodness, that man could kiss! The song, Then He Kissed Me roared through my head: ...
The song, Then He Kissed Me, by the Crystals, was not released until 3 months later ... in August 1963. I believe it was Steve Thomas on the moderated group who first found the month the song was released.

FORTY YEARS PASSED WHEN I WROTE THAT.
BARB IS RIGHT...I DIDN'T THINK OF THE SONG WHEN LEE KISSED ME AT THAT TIME...I THOUGHT OF IT LATER, AND WISHED WE COULD HAVE KISS AGAIN, LATE IN NOVEMBER, WHEN IT SHOT TO THE TOP OF THE CHARTS.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE MASS OF THINGS I HAVE SAID AND LIVED THROUGH, I THINK I HAVE DONE VERY WELL, OVER ALL, CORRECTLY RECOLLECTING TINGS. I HAD PLACED A LIST OF SONGS THAT WERE IMPORTANT TO ME AND ALSO, IN MANY CASES, IMPOPRTANT TO LEE, IN 1963, IN MY DIARY.
HERE'S THE LIST
RUMBLE (GUITAR RIFFS)
THE LONELY BULL BY HERB ALPERT
THEN HE KISSED ME
I LOVE HIM, I LOVE HIM, I LOVE HIM
EXODUS BY PAT BOONE
THE KING AND I
JAMES BOND THEME DR. NO.
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA THEME
BOLERO
LET IT BE ME--THE EVERLY BROTHERS
(THAT WAS OUR LOVE SONG)
STRAVINSKY'S FIREBIRD SUITE
EVERYTHING BY BEETHOVEN AND MOZART
THE WAYWARD WIND BY GOGI GRANT
SONGS BY THE PLATTERS, ESP. SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES

Hi Bill,
I recall running across some posts from 2004 where you were one discussing her having claimed that she and Oswald saw From Russia With Love .... and that it was pointed out that film was not released in the US until sometime in 1964. Judyth apparently had then said that someone else wrote the wrong movie name, and they had actually seen Dr. No together.
In her book, published in 2006, Judyth says this on page 246 of Volume 1:
Dr. No was the first James Bond movie to be released, and Lee, who had been reading Fleming's novels with gusto for some time (he would re-read them this summer, as well) loved every minute of it, including the music. He would eagerly anticipate the release of the second Ian Fleming spy novel to be filmed, From Russia With Love, but he would not live to see it.
She includes that passage in a section subtitled: MAY 22 - 23 - 24, 1963, in Chapter 15. The next paragraph says, The work week ending, May 24
found us still mellow ...
So, from that, it would seem she claims she saw Dr. No with Oswald on May 23rd.
She has a similar situation with their first kiss. On page 172, Volume 1, in a passage just before a section subtitled, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 9, 1963, she relates a moving scenario of their first kiss. After the setup, she writes this:

The song wasn't even written by Phil Spector until July:
- By July, 1963, Phil Spector had already made the Top 100 with 7 chart hits that he produced. He successfully ended his partnership with Lester Sill and began his marriage to Annette Merar. Shortly after his marriage, Spector traveled to New York looking for a song to follow up on the Crystals success with "Da Doo Ron Ron." "Then He Kissed Me" was the perfect song for the group and Phil put together one of his most extravagant productions for the record.
