Incorrect image

edit

The photograph at the top of this article (Janet_Landgard_1968.jpg) is not of Janet Landgard in The Swimmer. The hair parting, highlights, facial features and costume (bikini vs. one-piece bathing suit) are all wrong. The mistake appears to have been copied from the source, Getty Images, where it has been miscatalogued, possibly because Janet Landgard is the only actress with long blond hair to share significant screen-time with Burt Lancaster in the released film. However, Barbara Loden shot a long scene which was subsequently recast and reshot with Janice Rule, and this appears to be a still from that (the scenery is also unrecognisable from any in the finished film.) See the the article on the film, which contains a non-cropped version of the same image with a similarly incorrect caption, for details. 188.29.76.71 (talk) 11:20, 9 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

I agree that this is not Janet Landgard, and most definitely not Janet Landgard from The Swimmer. I'm watching that film right now. As you say, she's wearing a two-piece swimsuit with blue and white checks. And she has an upturned nose, which the person in the currently posted image doesn't. (This is one of two photos of this person that Getty Images has in their collection that's associated with Janet Landgard.) I'm going to remove the photo from here. —Largo Plazo (talk) 22:21, 18 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
