Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and charged; themes: collective action, naval mutiny, revolution; style notes: high-contrast black and white, dynamic composition with diagonal lines from rigging, wide shots emphasizing crowd scale

A group of sailors is seen on the deck and rigging of a warship, some raising arms in what appears to be a rally or uprising. The ship's large cannons and lifebuoy are visible, and the crew is densely packed on the deck and in the crow's nest.

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.
