[edit] Cast listing

What is the cast list split into two parts? IIRC, the end credits lists the actors in order of appearance and doesn't make the "servants"/"notables" distinction. It's a bit ironic being that the film is partly a critique of England's class system. --D. Monack | talk 18:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

I've now merged to two lists. --D. Monack | talk 07:02, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Remains of the day.jpg

Image:Remains of the day.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 Wikipedia: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.

[edit] Closing scene with dove

Just saw this outstanding film again and wonder, if anybody has an interpretation for the scene at the film’s end with Reeve releasing the dove, accidentally captured in the hall. Thanks in advance. 84.133.28.246 (talk) 21:19, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

The dove could get out of Darlington Hall and was free again. Stevens could not - he would always be stuck there, both physically and emotionally. At least that's my interpretation... --62.178.136.200 (talk) 17:43, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
