Shep Kissed Me! True Story!

I had an outrageous personal experience with Shep back around in 1966 or 1967. He was doing a book signing at Barnes & Noble in NYC. At the time I was attending college in New Jersey. I went with a few girlfriends to the book-signing because we were all big fans.
Nobody had any money to buy the book. But we figured it would be a great way to meet Shep in person. We all stood giggling in line, wanting to tell him how much we loved his radio show.
There was a film crew there recording the event. I thought maybe it was a TV station looking for a story on a slow news day. So we finally got to the head of the line and I was thrilled to be so near my hero! I said, "Shep, I love you but I'm just a poor college student and I can't afford your book. Would you autograph my hand?" He chuckled and agreed.
I don't remember what he said to me as he was autographing my hand, but suddenly he pulled me towards him and planted a big wet kiss right on my lips! I was so shocked I couldn't even speak. I almost fainted!
That moment was one of the highlights of my young life! I didn't wash my hand for a week!
A couple of years later I was dating a guy who went to Rutgers University. He told me that one day he was sitting in the student union watching a documentary about Shep and saw the whole scene I just described. Someone put my encounter into a movie about Shep!
I would dearly love to get a copy of that film. Have you seen it? Do you know anything about it or where I could find it? I sure hope that someone here has the answer.
Thanks for your help.
