Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and dramatic; themes: revolution, naval power, collective action; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white, silhouetted figures, dynamic composition

A warship is shown at sea with smoke rising from its funnels, followed by shots of sailors on deck and flags on the mast. The final frame shows a dark, indistinct view of what may be a crowd or trees.

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.
