Fair use rationale for Image:Love me tender423.jpg

Image:Love me tender423.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Background

I propose the addition of a short section, titled "Background", to be placed between Sypnosis and Soundtrack. I have started to write a brief example and it currently reads as follows;

Presley screen-tested for Hal Wallis on March 26, 1956 at Paramount Studios.^[1] The test lasted three days^[1] and included Presley performing two scenes from The Rainmaker,^[1] and lip-syncing to Blue Suede Shoes.^[1] On April 2, Wallis offered Presley a contract for one motion picture, with options on six more.^[1] The contract was finalised on April 25, and also stipulated that Presley was free to make at least one picture a year for other studios.^[1]

On April 10, Presley confidently announced, during a radio interview, that his debut feature would be The Rainmaker with Burt Lancaster and Katharine Hepburn.^[2] However, despite this belief, Presley was loaned out to 20th Century Fox on August 13 and began work on Love Me Tender on August 22.^[3]

I think it adds a little something to the article that may benefit readers who are interested in how Presley got around to acting in the first place. I'm not sure how long I must wait for anyone to respond to this and so I will allow at least until the beginning of January. I assume that is fair and acceptable.

As I've had no response to this I will assume that no one has any objections. ElvisFan1981 (talk) 22:20, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

B&W

I don't understand: CinemaScope film can not be black & white. Black & white version of CinemaScope has trademark "RegalScope". Runner1616 (talk) 06:00, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

James Dean?

"He had worked as a cinema usher in his youth and would often watch his screen idols James Dean, Marlon Brando, and Tony Curtis[4] during shifts, studying their acting and learning lines from their movies."

This seems unlikely with respect to James Dean. Dean's first significant film "East of Eden" wasn't released until 1955, when Elvis was well into his music career. He might have admired Dean's acting, but it wasn't from his time as as a cinema usher. Lafong (talk) 15:15, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
