Fair use rationale for Image:Razors edge.jpg

Image:Razors edge.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.

This isn't a gossip column

Deleted gossip about Maureen O'Hara. If you're going to enter something gossipy, please cite a legitimate source, not just another gossip source. J M Rice (talk) 22:36, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia chemistry??

some subjective observation.. best scene is in the last 15mins or so.. and it only last a minute or two, but harkens back (pays homage?) to another movie, another scene between Power and Lanchester, in the film Son of Fury: The Story of Benjamin Blake (1942). There, Ben is running from the law, and ducks into the home? of a commoner, Bristol Isabel (Lanchester). She hides him for night, day or two?? Then when he sets off, she asks if she could walk a bit w/ him so the neighbor's will think she's got a beau. He's all too happy to oblige. Even gives her a little kiss. Great scene.

So here, when Larry goes to get blank invite from Duchess's social secretary, Miss Keith (Elsa Lanchester) the mutual appreciation and Power's joy of working w/ her is apparent. (As she speaks to him, his face mostly turned away from the camera, you can alllmost get a glimpse of him smiling at her.) Then planting a kiss on her forehead as he heads off, out the window, like a 'thief'. 76.218.248.127 (talk) 18:08, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Value judgment

"his small inheritance of $3,000 a year." Yes, from the perspective of his wealthy fiancee, this is a "small" amount of money to live on (but if it is interest, it is based on a pretty penny), but objectively, on what basis is it called small?

It puts him above the median tax-return-based income for that year: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/19soirepar.pdf

http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=3000&year1=1919&year2=2016 lists $3,000, the amount Larry gets PER YEAR as having the buying power of $41,000 in 2016: not what I would call a small inheritance.

If an unexplained modifier must be used, then "modest" would be better than "small." 64.53.191.77 (talk) 06:03, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning of the words "The Razor's Edge"

Could someone please add to this article why this movie is called "The Razor's Edge". Is it explained in the original book by the same name? From seeing this film, the victim of a "razor's edge" was Sophie who at the end had her throat slit by a razor (?) and the question then arises, as it does at the end of the film, who was responsible for the events that led up to the razor's edge that got Sophie's throat slit. Am I off-base here? Please help. A good explanation in the body of the article would definitely help. Thanks, IZAK (talk) 01:01, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
