OVERALL: Draw
The Kino Lorber releases for the commentaries.
GENERAL NOTES (courtesy of IMDb):
"In 1956, the film was sold to television and re-edited under the title "Armored Attack." 25 minutes were removed, including all references to the word "comrade," and with the help of voice-over narrations, turned the alleged pro-Communist piece into anti-Communist territory."
