Did L.M Montgomery ever see the 1940 Anne of Windy Poplars/Willows Film?

We know she saw the earlier 1919 and 1934 fills as she refers to her reactions to both films in her correspondence, journals and the 'Is this my Anne?' article which appeared in chataleine magazine in 1935.

I have checked the published journals and letters for references to the 1940 film and most relate the the pre production with Montgomery anticipating that the film will be much altered from the book, but it doesnt provide any clue that she actually saw it. That said, by 1940 Montgomery was very ill and there are hardly any entries in her journals for the last few years of her life. she died in 1942
