Fair use rationale for Image:Thelodger1.jpg[edit]

Image:Thelodger1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Remakes[edit]

It says that the story has served basis for three more films, and then lists four more films. So which is it? Three or four? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.221.7.134 (talk) 22:36, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Radio Version…[edit]

Is it worth mentioning that the 20th of July 1940 episode of the short radio series “The Forecast” - which epsiode itself served as a pilot for the more famous show “Suspense!” - was a version of “The Lodger”, directed by Hitchcock? It doesn’t follow the film or the source material, ending in a blend of meta-textual conversation between “Hitch” (played by an actor impersonating him) and his characters/ actors (they participate in the discussion in and out of character), questioning him as to why he had called “Cut!” at a tense moment before the story could be resolved dramatically.
