Original – English-American actor Cary Grant in a publicity still for the 1941 film Suspicion
Reason
This large, public domain image of actor Cary Grant reminded me quite a lot of File:Hepburn-afternoon.jpg, which was promoted to FP back in November. It clearly identifies the subject, and appears to be of a high quality. The original image has kindly been brightened by Crisco 1492.

  • I looked, as noted above, but could not find the same image with both front and back. However, one from the same film is PD, linked above. Not explicit, but circumstantial evidence. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:02, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I tried to investigate any copyright renewal, and I think we are probably fine. A 1941 work would have to have been renewed in 1968 or 1969; here are the four books with all the registrations and renewals for the category that includes photos for that time period: [5], [6], [7], [8]. (The search by A Thousand Doors did not cover renewals for photgraphs.) The word "Cary" doesn't appear anywhere in any of these renewal/registration record books, and all hits for "RKO" and "Grant" are irrelevant (this, of course, assumes that one of these words would be in the renewal). There were only a total of 667 renewals for the artworks/photographs category for those two years, so it's unlikely that we just missed the title for some reason.
