Fair use rationale for Image:Misfits3423.jpg

Image:Misfits3423.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.

What's the point?

"In a documentary on the making of The Misfits, Eli Wallach told a story of Huston directing the scene where Wallach was at a bar with Gable. Huston told him that the most intoxicated he himself had ever been was the day before, even though he had seemed sober. The lesson was that an intoxicated person tries to act sober."

Apart from being awkwardly worded, I don't see how this is at all enriching to the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.238.196.144 (talk) 01:26, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anecdotes are important. However, who was drunk and who was acting? What's the point? Missaeagle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Missaeagle (talk • contribs) 18:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Misfits (Band)

The (reasonably) popular band "The Misfits" got there name from this movie, and I was wondering if there should be some mention of this in a possible Popular Culture section, or just in a Response section or something... Any ideas? Parad0x130 (talk) 05:30, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please correct a Plot section omission

Plot section, last sentence of 3rd paragraph should be amended to read “ Guido, Perce, Roslyn and Gay go to a crowded bar, where Roslyn’s skill at paddle ball wins her several hundred dollars from the betting that ensues among all the men at the bar. They nearly get into a fistfight when a drunk spanks Roslyn's bottom. 135.180.188.128 (talk) 18:44, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Huston's gambling problems

Production section really needs mention of Huston's gambling problems, which significantly impacted the production. 137.26.93.41 (talk) 00:45, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
