I think the movie went to theaters as "Never Give A Inch" before it was shown on TV that way.
This happened with a few movies back then. Julie Andrews had a movie called "Star" that went back out again as "Those Were the Happy Times." Doris Day had a movie finally called "It Happened to Jane" after going out with a least one other title.
The reason with Sometimes a Great Notion is that Universal decided that title didn't sell the mood or action of the picture. Though you would think it helped sell the source novel's title.
It seems like sending these movies out with different titles always ends up making them seem like "damaged goods" -- folks can't remember which title was which, years later.
