Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and urgent; themes: rebellion, military discipline, collective action; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white, dynamic framing with close-ups and wide shots, use of shadows and metal textures to emphasize industrial setting

A group of sailors is shown on the deck of a ship, with some climbing on large cannons and others moving around the deck. One sailor is seen holding a rifle near a railing, and another is shown in close-up wearing a naval cap.

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.
