Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: authority, conflict, naval discipline; style notes: high-contrast black and white, dramatic close-ups and silhouettes, static camera shots emphasizing character expressions and posture

A man in a naval officer's uniform stands on a ship's deck, followed by a close-up of a sailor's face and then a profile of an older officer. The final frame shows the officer from behind, walking away on the deck.

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.
