Fair use rationale for Image:ATasteofHoneyDVD.jpg

Image:ATasteofHoneyDVD.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 Wikipedia articles 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.

If there is other 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.BetacommandBot 17:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Age of Jo

The sources I find for the film give no precise age. The article on the original play gives her age as 17, but this does not necessarily apply to the film adaptation. If anyone has better information, please supply a reference. LynwoodF (talk) 21:47, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

i've sourced it. BMK (talk) 01:36, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. I should have known that you would know where to look! LynwoodF (talk) 09:19, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Geoffrey is gay

I have reinserted 'gay' together with a citation (an interview with Murray Melvin who played the character Geoffrey Ingham). The reason why Geoffrey did not explicitly self-identify (to use a modern term) as gay is one of the three main points of the film (the other two being inter-racial sex and illegitimacy). He wasn't able to say he was gay. The script was based on the play which was written and first performed when homosexuality was illegal in the UK, and the censors were remarkably active in those days. It was also true to life in that it was socially taboo to admit to being gay (except to others who were also gay, and even then, such was the paranoia, often only in a roundabout way). There is a quote about this by Rita Tushingham later in the wp article. I saw both the film and the play in the early 1960's and the audience's knowledge of Geoffrey's gayness was as sure as their knowledge of Jimmy's blackness!

The Big Ship Sails

Presumably Addison did not write the title song "The Big Ship Sails On the Alley Alley O" for the film and he was just the arranger, as it's a traditional nursery rhyme? He is named on this 1961 single by The Corona Kids. Lots of people seem to think the song is about the Manchester Ship Canal: e.g. here and here? But perhaps that's just because that's the scene where the song appears in the film? Elizabeth Matterson has also been claimed as the composer. 205.239.40.3 (talk) 10:45, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
