Fair use in Doctor Zhivago and Omar Sharif

The image linked here is claimed by Wikipedia editor User:Joyson Noel to be used under fair use as:

it is a screenshot from a historically significant film;
it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality);
the photo is only being used for informational purposes.
Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows

the character of the Russian doctor lost in deep profound thought.
