Photograph is a promotional photograph showing the principle cast members from left to right : Gary Merrill, Bette Davis, George Sanders, Anne Baxter, Hugh Marlowe and Celeste Holm.

Fair use rationale for use in the article All About Eve:


 * 1) Image is a promotional photograph, originally intended for wide distribution as publicity for the film, and as such has been published in books and magazines since the film's production.  Use on Wikipedia does not make the image significantly more accessible than it already is.
 * 2) An image of the principal cast is important for this article, as the acting and characters are often regarded as one of the most significant factors in the film's success, and continued appeal.   No scenes were filmed with all 6 principal actors on screen at the same time, so this single image allows each person to be equally depicted.
 * 3) Image is intended to specifically illustrate only the section discussing the casting and the characters, but as the actors and characters are discussed throughout the entire article, use of this image adds to the overall quality and completeness of the article.
 * 4) Image is of considerably lower resolution than the original, and is used for informational purposes only.  Its use does not detract from either the original photograph, or from the film itself.
