Fair use rationale for Image:Prince and the showgirl.jpg[edit]

Image:Prince and the showgirl.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 ensure 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.

Why British-American?[edit]

The distributor was American but (aside from Marilyn) this film seems to be an exclusively British product. What is the justification for categorising it as both British and American? If it is really "a Warner Bros. film", where is the verification that director/producer Laurence Olivier worked for Warner Bros? Its list of award nominations indicates that it is a British film featuring a foreign actress. Bjenks (talk) 03:05, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarifying citation, Gothicfilm. Monroe's ownership of the rights does make a difference! Bjenks (talk) 03:04, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I also added the fact that Olivier and his wife originated the roles in the play. - Gothicfilm (talk) 22:44, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Marilyn Monroe was not only an actress in this movie but the Producer, the film was produced by Marilyn Monroe Productions Inc. Ltd. and Warner Brothers as well as by Milton Greene and Laurence Olivier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.66.46.109 (talk) 19:59, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Anachronism[edit]

This movie has at least two anachronisms. The foxtrot was not introduced until three years later, in 1914. The main song, "I found a dream", first as an orchestral ball-room dance, and later sung by Elsie, was not written until 1950 or later, perhaps specifically for this movie. agb — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.233.167.50 (talk) 17:47, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
