Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and disciplined; themes: military discipline, collective action, authority; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white, static wide shots, symmetrical composition emphasizing order and scale

Two frames show sailors on a warship's deck, one in motion and one in formation. No dialogue or on-screen text is present.

The record

A Soviet work restored in the US in 1996 under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act for a term that ran to 1 January 2021. Public domain now; it was not between 1996 and 2020. The registry does not yet model restoration. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
