Fair use rationale for Image:7094176.jpg
Image:7094176.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.

Stewart
There isn't enough commentary about Joanne Woodward's character-- in regards to her beau, "Alan Stewart", who she had seen for six years, and the underlying homosexual overtones regarding his reasons for never making a pass at her.--Leahtwosaints (talk) 12:29, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Ham Actors
This movie has some of the worst acting I've ever seen. Was the movie intended as a parody of the work of Tennessee Williams? Or was this "style" of acting all the vogue back then? 69.236.143.171 (talk) 02:41, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Year the story takes place in
The article doesn't mention which year the story is set in. I'm watching the film now and it's also not explained, but it's obviously not contemporary to 1958 (I guess the filmmakers thought their audience would immediately work out in what decade the action takes place). I'd say it's set in the 1930s (the Faulkner sources it's based on range from 1931 to 1940), but I found a review saying it's set in "early 20th century", which is a bit vague. Anybody have a definitive source for that? Kumagoro-42 (talk) 23:00, 14 August 2023 (UTC)


 * It probably didn't come up at the time of the nomination. But based on the car Clara drives (either a 1953 or 1954 Lincoln Capri), some of the other cars seen, Eula's record player, and a short frame showing the local "Joy Theater" playing two 1957 releases just indicates that rural Louisiana probably looked a few years behind in comparison to other places.-- GDuwen  Holler!  20:01, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
