This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots

for identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Rationale for fair use in A Close Shave

Article:	Screenshot for A Close Shave.

Description:

Copyright holder:

Source:	This is a screenshot taken from an optical disc, television broadcast, web page, computer software or streaming media broadcast.

Rationale for use on wikipedia:	1.No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the article's subject. 2.The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product. 3.The image is only used sparingly and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy. 4.The image has been published outside of Wikipedia, either as an optical disc format, media broadcast, website content or computer software. 5.The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy. 6.The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic. 7.The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title. 8.The image is significant in illustrating the subject of the article, facilitating critical commentary as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone. 9.The image is used in the article namespace. 10.The image has a brief description that identifies the image, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.

Resolution:	The image is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original work.

Replaceable?:	As a screenshot, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image of the work would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or critical commentary.

Compatibility with wikipedia?:	Use of the screenshot in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
