Talk:Oklahoma! (1955 film)

Fair use rationale for Image:Oklahoma-DVDcover.jpg
Image:Oklahoma-DVDcover.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.isabelle is the one of the famous person she died in 1990 she was only 3

70mm and 35mm
There's another reason this was filmed in both 70mm Todd-AO and 35mm Cinemascope. Todd-AO format specified 30 frames per second, versus the standard 24 for every other film format. Even if the lab could create a 35mm version by optically reducing the 70mm frame (as they eventually did a year or so later), theater owners had no easy way to change the frame rate of their 35mm projectors. Only the first 2 Todd-AO features (the other was 'Around the World in 80 Days') were filmed at 30fps. After that they switched to 24, and labs were able create 35mm versions that looked as good as or better than 35mm originals.
