Fair use in The Toast of New Orleans edit

The image linked here is claimed by Wikipedia editor NewYork1956 to be used under fair use as:

1. It is a scan of the poster of a movie stared by historically significant figures;
2. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality);
3. It is only being used for informational purposes;
4. Its inclusion of the image adds significantly to the article;
5. One or more of the subject(s) on the Poster are dead, and it is thus believed that there are no free equivalents.
