[edit] Licensing

This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion as established by these terms of use.

It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate:

the person(s), product, event, or subject in question
where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it
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 usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.

Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

This is an image uploaded for informational purposes only, to visually identify the principal actors and characters in the feature film Meet Nero Wolfe (1936), in the article about the film.
The image is an accurate low-resolution scan of a black-and-white glossy promotional photograph distributed by the studio, which intended promotional use. The last sentence of a statement on the face of the photograph reads, "Copyright waived to magazines and newspapers."
This image is of low resolution. It cannot be used for high-resolution printing, and any copies made from it will be of inferior quality.
The photograph's inclusion in the article Meet Nero Wolfe adds to it significantly because it visually identifies the principal cast and characters of the film that are detailed in the article, including Edward Arnold (1890–1956) in his only performance of the role of Nero Wolfe, and Lionel Stander (1908–1994) in his first portrayal of Archie Goodwin. These are the actors pictured (left to right, from foreground): Dennie Moore (Mazie Gray), Lionel Stander (Archie Goodwin), Edward Arnold (Nero Wolfe), Victor Jory (Claude Roberts), Joan Perry (Ellen Barstow), Frank Conroy (Dr. Nathaniel Bradford), John Qualen (Olaf), Nana Bryant (Sarah Barstow), Walter Kingsford (E.J. Kimball), and Russell Hardie (Manuel Kimball).
The copyright owner's rights to reproduce the image are not limited in any way.
