Fair use rationale for Image:On the Beach DVD cover.jpg

Image:On the Beach DVD cover.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Clone of Novel page

Much of the content on this page appears (after a quick skim) to be a direct copy of the text in the page for the novel. Given that the novel already includes all that text, this page should merely reference it with notes on the differences. PeterHansen 12:58, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On the Beach Movie - Influence in Music

"Morning Dew", also known as "(Walk Me Out in the) Morning Dew", is a post-apocalyptic folk-rock song written by Canadian singer Bonnie Dobson in 1962.

According to Dobson in a 1993 interview, "Morning Dew" was inspired by the film On the Beach.

"Morning Dew" has been recorded by numerous artists with minor changes to it's lyrics. The Southern Rock group, Blackfoot, on their album Vertical Smiles (1984), refers to a "flash in the sky" and "the earth it trembled" alluding to a nuclear bomb exploding.
