Fair use rationale for Image:Genevieve Poster.jpg
Image:Genevieve Poster.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 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 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.

Accuracy
Were people really using these very early vehicles as everyday cars in London in 1953, as portrayed in the film? It would be unthinkable today, and it's difficult to believe it was very common even back then. --Ef80 (talk) 18:06, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I can't find where in the article this information is. The film portrays a veteran automobile rally. Or am I missing some irony here? Mark in wiki (talk) 19:10, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * No irony. The article doesn't mention this subject at present - my suggestion is that perhaps it should. Quite early in the film McKim (John Gregson) is shown getting into his parked Darraq and driving home in it from the Inns of Court through London traffic. He parks it in a garage under his mews flat in South Kensington. The implication is that he drives to work in it every day. You are correct that the bulk of the film is concerned with the annual London-Brighton veteran car rally, which is the only occasion I'd expect to see cars of this type on the public roads today. --Ef80 (talk) 22:12, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I pasted "veteran automobile rally" from the second sentence of the lead. As to the possible meanings and explanations of certain scenes of the film, that's up to professional reviewers and citics. Mark in wiki (talk) 07:55, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Piece about London tram tracks.
It mentions that tram tracks were still embedded in the London streets in 1953 although the trams had stopped running in 1952 - although the film was released in 1953 it was actually filmed in October 1952. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.199.53 (talk) 21:45, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

More's reaction
More recalls "the shooting of the picture was hell. Everything went wrong, even the weather."
 * It might be worth balancing this by adding that More had reacted particularly well to the script when he started reading it. He declared that it was certain to be a hit. Valetude (talk) 01:41, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
