Throwing this one here just in case: does anyone know if this movie is available to watch anywhere?

The movie is called Napoléon II, l'aiglon (wow groundbreaking title), directed by Claude Boissol and starring Bernard Verley as Reichstadt. It premiered in 1961 and it's based on André Castelot's biography, which I personally had a lot of problems with, but it was overall fine so the script shouldn't be too bad. I searched for it but I can't find it ANYWHERE on the Internet. Not even short clips! Nada!!

Look at Verley's pose on this pic he was serving here, I'd really love to watch him in action to see if he indeed serves for the whole movie.
