Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	The official release poster of the film Words and Music (1948).
Author or copyright owner	MGM
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	[1]
Date of publication	1948
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Words and Music (1948 film)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Any derivative work based upon the cover art would be a copyright violation, so the creation of a free image is not possible.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The use of the film release poster for Words and Music (1948) will be minimal and compliant with Wikipedia's non-free content policy in the following ways: 1. Single Use in the Film’s Article: The poster will be used exclusively within the article about Words and Music. It will not be added to other articles, even if related to the cast, crew, or other topics, ensuring the image serves only its most relevant purpose. 2. Low Resolution: The poster will be uploaded in a low resolution that is sufficient for identification and illustrative purposes but not suitable for reproduction. This ensures compliance with the fair-use principle and limits potential commercial impact. 3. Essential Contextual Role: The poster provides unique information about the film, such as its marketing approach, visual aesthetic, and the way it was presented to audiences at the time of release. This context cannot be effectively conveyed through text alone, making its use justified and essential. 4. No Redundancy: The poster is the only non-free visual element used to represent the film's promotional material, avoiding the inclusion of multiple promotional images or unnecessary duplicates. 5. Focused on Film Marketing: By limiting the use to the promotional aspect, the excerpted content (the poster) fulfils a specific illustrative need without encompassing additional content or themes from the film itself.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution image of a work's cover will not impact the commercial viability of the work.
