Fair use rationale for Image:Theoutfitmovieposter.jpg edit

 

Image:Theoutfitmovieposter.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.

1940's? edit

The novel this film is based is set in the early 60's, same era it was written and published in. Is that Flynn quote accurate? There's no source. I don't know why anybody would say the The Outfit is set in the 40's (that's not even the right era for a period film about bank robbers, since those are more from the Depression, ala Bonnie & Clyde). It could almost pass for a film set in the 60's at points, but Flynn probably didn't have the budget to pull that off, and it wasn't essential to the story to tell us when it's happening. I don't want to edit if this is a legit quote from Flynn, but I can't find anything to that effect. Typo? No way anybody can watch this film and think it's set in the 40's, so I have to assume that's a mistake.
