Fair use rationale for Image:Dark movieposter.jpg
Image:Dark movieposter.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 Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Steiner's score
Max Steiner was notorious for his Mickey-Mouse scores. Ms Davis did not approve. In Dark Victory: the Life of Bette Davis (by Ed Sikov), we read...

"Geraldine Fitzgerald, who plays Ann, recalled that the set "had been beautifully lit with a kind of heavenly glow on Bette as she slowly climbed the stairs. Suddenly she stopped and turned around and came down the stairs, this time matter-of-factly (almost clumping down, you could say) and said to Eddie Goulding, 'Is Max Steiner going to underscore this scene?' 'Oh, no,' said Goulding. 'Of course not! We all know how you feel about that!' 'Good', said Bette, 'because either I'm going up the stairs or Max Steiner is going up the stairs, but we're goddamn well not going up together!'" ("I hate to remember," Fitzgerald added, "but I think the scene was underscored and she had the Vienna Boys Choir accompanying her.")"

It's unfortunate that a short extract such as this cannot be used without being considered a violation of copyright. I'll try to figure out how to create a linked reference.
