| Low resolution? |
The image is significantly lower resolution than the original still. |
| Purpose of use |
The image represents Sylvester's 1968 performance as differentiated from Roy Scheider's (2010) in 1984. The image is used to illustrate Sylvester's appearance in the role on the related character page, and also illustrates the actor on his bio page. As this was arguably one of Sylvester's most recognized roles, the image is appropriate to represent the actor's professional career. |
| Replaceable? |
No free media can be substituted as this is a promotional still released in support of a commercial film. In addition, actor passed away January 25, 1995, and as such no free image can be obtained. |
| Other information |
Use of this image does not diminish copyright holders' ability to gain profit or usability of the related film work. Use of the image enhances interest in the film work, and is consistent with use of promotional imagery. |
