Missing picture galleries (The Cat and the Canary, A Double Life, etc.)

Can the picture galleries for the following titles be restored?

The Cat and the Canary (1939)

A Double Life (1947)

The Beast of Yucca Flats (1961)

The Lady Says No (1951)

Blunder Boys (1955)

Creeps (1956)

Flagpole Jitters (1956)

Gypped in the Penthouse (1955)

Hoofs and Goofs (1957)

Hot Ice (1955)

(I'm afraid I'll have to make this request several more times. It seems that at least 100 pictures galleries I've submitted have been removed.)

Hi @jay_spirit -

I have created a ticket reference number V1226291646 to review and reinstate the galleries.

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ Thank you.

I'll add more missing picture galleries as I find them to this thread, but if you need me to create new threads for them later, after this ticket is resolved, I'll be happy to do that.

And maybe the person in charge of images can give me guidance if there's something I've done wrong. No one has explained to me why the images were removed in the first place.

One contributor had an issue with the quality of my images for I'm from Arkansas (1944), even though they're best possible images from an old neglected movie that will probably never be restored. It's either those stills or nothing.

Another contributor had an issue with the number of images I submitted for Frenzy (1972), even though the guidelines only forbid an excessive number of images from a single scene. I submitted every interesting shot, all of which were distinct from one another. It's a Hitchcock movie, so every interesting shot meant 1000+ images.

Maybe I'm making a category error. Maybe IMDb's reason for including images is only to represent the movie. Meanwhile, I'm treating the images as data. And treating them as data means I include credits (which verify IMDb's credits). It means I include every interesting shot. It means I include every possible actor.

Maybe that's not what IMDb wants. But then I don't understand why they agreed to restore the image galleries for I'm from Arkansas, Frenzy, So's Your Aunt Emma (1942), and Charade (1963).

I need some guidance, because seeing tens of thousands of my images disappear is discouraging.
