Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale true for 4 Clowns
Description	This is a theatrical poster for the 1970 film 4 Clowns. The theatrical poster copyright is believed to belong to the distributor of the film or the publisher of the film.
Source	May be found at the following website: http://www.movieposter.com/posters/archive/main/17/MPW-8801
Article	4 Clowns
Portion used	The entire theatrical poster: because the image is display art, a form of product promotion, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The digitized image of the original theatrical poster is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation without being unnecessarily high resolution. The copy used is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original theatrical poster. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	Main infobox: The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as a theatrical poster. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the creator providing graphic design services to film concerns and in turn marketing films to the public.
Replaceable?	As display art, a form of product promotion, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the film would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Other information	Use of the theatrical poster in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
