Watching it right now on Film4, a real curio to be sure. I'm sure someone on Vuze (or another relatively safe filesharring site) will have it, if you can't access the Film4 source.

The film can be seen legally anywhere you happen to find it. In fact it's impossible to see it illegally as the film is in the Public Domain. You'll notice that IMDB have a link to the full film. That's only done for movies which for whatever reason have no copyright.

If you want to watch this film ILLEGALLY you must break into someone’s home and watch it on their television. You could steal a TV or laptop and watch this film on the stolen device. You could also enter a foreign country illegally and watch the film there. Watching it in your own home under the influence of illegal drugs would also count. (Most people consume the drugs after viewing the film which would not count as illegal viewing in most jurisdictions.) There certainly are other ways of watching this film illegally.

Hope this helps.

It was shown in its entirety on TCM 01/22/14. I thought the B/W print was surpurisingly faded and blurry. Usually TCM has good prints. I tried watching but couldn't get past the happy dancing and singing villagers.

This likely isn't much help, but GRIT is showing it right now, meaning it must be on fairly regular rotation since that channel is a lot like other "retro" channels, including COMET. Generally, a film is shown repeatedly; it's just finding when they have it scheduled.

EDIT: Our GRIT doesn't have an on-screen guide, so I don't know how they list it. The opening credits have "Armored Attack".

It's been on DVD and Blu since 2014, though the lead film on the release is, for some inexplicable reason, Armored Attack, the 1956 de- or re-propagandized version. Look for it under that title. Both films are on the discs. Both are in good shape.

I recorded it on Turner Classic Movies just two days ago - Aug 16th. Haven't watched it yet, so I don't know if it is the original version or the heavily censored and edited version.

Most of my friends who have inferiority complexes are absolutely right.
