- Rationale: High resolution, attractive poster. Illustrative of topic. Irrefutably PD.

Oppose - 1,551 × 2,361 pixels is inadequate for a poster. The resolution is not high enough to read all the text easily - it's difficult to read the "country of origin: USA" at the bottom right . The scan could be a lot better: white patch on the left, chromatic aberration around the letters etc. I also don't see how this poster is of high historic, artistic or illustrative merit. Also, the description page does not cover the retouching done or the poster itself in adequate detail. Sorry, --Claritas (talk) 18:53, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

- Regarding "high historic, artistic or illustrative merit", the only thing more illustrative of the film is the film itself... which is not PD and will not be PD for a good period of time, with the current copyright lobbyist atmosphere. Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:29, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

- I think promotional photos for the film (which are generally PD), if they exist, would of much greater illustrative merit. In any case, the image would have to be of extraordinary encyclopaedic value for me to support it despite the technical flaws. --Claritas (talk) 15:10, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

- Ones like this have copyright notices on them (sadly, I personally like the poster...). Others, like this, may or may not have been renewed (and I am halfway around the world from the US copyright office, so I would never be able to check). Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:09, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
- Very unlikely that the copyright on the second has been renewed - see the licensing of File:Hepburn-afternoon.jpg for a similar case. --Claritas (talk) 02:19, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
- Very unlikely, but without a very thorough check unable to be uploaded to Commons. I've been dying to get a picture of The Shirelles as well, but because the online copyright catalog does not go back far enough... Oh well. Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:55, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

- Weak support I like it. Good colors, a topic where we do not have too much in our gallery. Resolution is in the low end for a scan. --Slaunger (talk) 21:34, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
