Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: military retreat, combat conditions, explosive danger; style notes: black-and-white, handheld or static shots, overcast lighting, medium to long shots emphasizing action on bridge

Soldiers are shown on a bridge during foul weather; one carries a helmet while others work near barrels. An explosion occurs on the bridge as a soldier runs away from it.

“When foul weather grounded the Air Force, units north of Seoul were forced back across the Imjin River.” 15:25 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

US Government work The record names a federal body as the creating agency. A work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties has no US copyright (17 U.S.C. 105; before 1978, section 8 of the 1909 Act). This says nothing about copyright outside the United States, or about music, stock footage or other material the film may incorporate. Evidence dossier. 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.
