What does this even mean? Aren't nearly all US movies financed by private sector money? Does the author mean that the underwriters are not industry professionals, or did not form a corporation, or viewed their investment as a cultural contribution rather than a business venture?

With people like the flamboyant and suave Arab business mogul/playboy Adnan Khashoggi or the Las Vegas casino patrons, my bet is they did see it as a cultural project or simply a whim - "this story looks great and the guys who did the Godfather films are involved, this is too good not to get made!" - rather than a cold-headed economic investment. Perhaps a means of money-laundry too. Either way, it really is a brilliant film, told and played with feeling, depth, humour, guts and conviction, and wonderful acting from Gere, Lane and the others. 83.254.154.164 (talk) 23:39, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Cotton club.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 ensure 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.
