Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and anticipatory; themes: naval warfare, individual action under pressure, nighttime operations; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white, dramatic silhouettes, static framing emphasizing scale and isolation

A dark sea is shown under a night sky, followed by a silhouetted figure near a large gun barrel, then a sailor operating a naval gun on a ship's deck. No names or dialogue are spoken beyond the word 'So'.

“So” 61:40 automatic transcript, may be wrong

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.
