The beat shows a dark seascape, a ship's rigging with silhouetted figures, pressure gauges in a machinery space, and a man in profile in low light. A voice exclaims 'Oh, my God.' at 57:57.

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.
