Cabaret 1972

Everywhere I have looked purports that Cabaret was released in 1972.  I first saw this film at the cinema in Montevideo in January 1971.  Where does the 1972 date come from?

All the releases IMDb lists are in 1972 or later, including one for Uruguay in November 72. Your information seems a little unlikely and would probably require evidence.

Evidence not available, just my memory.  The maiden voyage of the RRS Bransfield on the way to the British Antarctic Territories stopped at Montevideo for 12 hours overnight in January 1971.  A bunch of us saw Cabaret in a cinema, it was subtitled, before spending the rest of the night in various bars.  Not the sort of experience you tend to forget really...

IMDb and AFI both say that the film didn't finish filming until July 1971.

According to the AFI Catalog (https://catalog.afi.com/Catalog/moviedetails/54427), filming for Cabaret didn't start until March 1971.
