Finding Not asserted
Not asserted: the record does not name the creating body; its local identifier places it in NARA record group 111 (Office of the Chief Signal Officer, Army Signal Corps), a federal agency's records, which is evidence of federal origin but not proof of authorship, since agencies also filed acquired and captured footage.
The record does not name a federal creating body, or names one alongside a private producer, a state body or a government corporation. Such a film may well be a government work, but this registry only says so when the record does.

National Archives and Records Administration ARC Identifier 2569707 / Local Identifier 111-TV-446 Big Picture: Winter War DVD Copied by Timothy Vollmer. Here is a long and searching look at the Korean War during the period when morale was high. Important victories at Inchon, Seoul, and Pyongyang resulted in newspaper reporting that predicted an early end to the fighting. The story is told in the words of William H. Lawrence, assigned to the Washington bureau of the New York Times. Lawrence holds no brief for those who overlook the importance of the individual soldier, and he has the reputation for being a reporter who calls the shots as he sees them.
