screenshot from The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967) showing Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots

for identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

1. Rationale for the fair use of this image in the article Sharon Tate:

No free or public domain images have been located to illustrate the subject, Sharon Tate in this context.

The screenshot is intended to represent a significant scene in one of the subject's best known films. The image is intended to represent the career of Sharon Tate as an actress, and is chosen as being typical of the image portrayed by her as an actress. The scene is further significant in that it illustrates her only filmed collaboration with her husband, the director, Roman Polanski.

Illustration is very similar to a widely published image in both printed media and on the internet, which was used as the basis for the film's promotional poster. The use of this image on Wikipedia, does not make the image significantly more accessible than it already is. Main difference is that the poster artwork does not include the image of Roman Polanski.

The image is used for informational purposes only and is not believed to detract from the original film in any way.

2. Rationale for the fair use of this image in the article Roman Polanski:

As above, and:

Illustrates the only filmed collaboration between Polanski and his wife Sharon Tate, and also shows one of Polanski's rare acting performances.

3. Rationale for the fair use of this image in the article The Fearless Vampire Killers:

As above, and:

Demonstrates a key scene in the film, already widely used as part of the film's promotional poster (1967) and therefore use on Wikipedia does not make this image significantly more accessible, nor does it detract from the original image.
