Contested deletion

This file should not be speedy deleted as having an invalid fair-use claim, because... I believe it clearly identifies the dramatic look and tone of the film, in a way that would be hard to equal. I agree that a film poster is usually preferable, but I wanted a different image, as the poster is already used on the IMDB site (which is an external link for the page), and having variety gives more visual information for the reader. The still also identifies Stanley Baker, a favourite actor and significant leading man for the director Cy Endfield, in a partnership over several of his films. I also think it's a strong image aesthetically and gives an immediate flavour of the movie (i.e. shadowy, noirish lighting), and a sense of the period, and could contribute to the visual literacy of Wikipedia. Anyway, it's up to you. Beryl reid fan (talk) 22:43, 1 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
