You can purchase this film on VHS from Movies Unlimited:

"War Of The Buttons [VHS] (1963)
 An acclaimed story of the war between two factions of young French
boys, battling with slingshots and donkeys for the belts and buttons
found on the opposing side's clothing. The war games become more
elaborate, as one group decides to go into combat without clothing! A
charming satire from Yves Robert ("My Father's Glory"). 88 min. In
French with English subtitles.
 Category: Foreign    Director: Yves Robert

robert" vhs OR dvd
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=%22guerre+des+boutons%22+OR+%22war+of+the+buttons%22+%22yves+robert%22+vhs+OR+dvd

I hope this helps. If anything is unclear or incomplete, please
