I get kick out of this collage. It makes me laugh. As you may know, my contention is that there were two versions of the fake PD footage. The first one involved the actual real footage in which they embedded the Lovelady figure, like in Mary Poppins. And the other, which came later, involved a reenactment. And the two characters playing Lovelady were not the same man and did not look alike.



You don't have to be a physical trainer to recognize that the man on the left was much more muscular and stocky than the guy on the right. It's like comparing Charles Atlas to the 95 pound weakling. Their hair is different. Their shirts are different, one sprawled open and the other not. And although it's hard to see, the guy on the left has much bigger ears.

They are definitely not the same human being, and if someone is going to say so, then we are back in the Bizarro World where the patently false passes for true.

But that is not the collage I was referring to. This is:


These are the two Lovelady imposters, the collage compares their line of sight. You recall that in the gif I posted, which was the first Lovelady, the one embedded into the original footage, that he saw Oswald and he trained his eyes on Oswald, and he swung his head and body way around to the right in order to keep his eyes on Oswald.

It's what you'd expect him to do, right? After all, he worked with the guy, day in and day out, and suddenly he's become the most famous assassin in the history of assassins. You're blown away. You always thought of him as this meek, quiet, reserved, unobtrusive guy, and then you find out that all this time he was really The Jackal. Of course, you're going to look at him.

But, the Lovelady on the left wasn't looking at Oswald. Oswald had already passed him. Lovelady had to know he was there. Unlike the other Lovelady who fixated on Oswald the whole time, this Lovelady couldn't care less. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. This Lovelady has got other things on his mind, although I can't imagine what. He stays fixated leftward the whole time we see him, and he NEVER glances at Oswald. Not the slightest bit interested.

This was really a comedy of errors. In the first version, they made the colossal mistake of not sprawling open Lovelady's shirt. How's he supposed to pass for Doorman if his shirt isn't sprawled open?

So, they forgot about that, and that may be one reason they felt compelled to do it over, although if you look closely at the other guy, you'll see that his open sprawl looks very artificial and like nothing you could duplicate at home. 


How does an open sprawl start the way his does? Doesn't the button that's buttoned act like a pivot point from which the sprawl widens on both sides in a triangular fashion? How does one get a square sprawl?

But, at least they remembered to sprawl open his shirt. But, what they forgot to do with him is have him look at his friend. Who would fail to do that in that situation? Nobody.

Then, the other big mistake is that they made him way too stocky and muscular. Remember, this guy had to not only pass for Lovelady but also for Doorman who looks gaunt and slender, and he also had to look like someone who could be mistaken for Oswald. Oswald was 5'9 and 131 pounds. The story went that Lovelady's wife took Oswald for her husband when she saw him from behind. That's far-fetched in itself and not be believed. But what is believable about this?


Was anybody going to believe that the guy on the right was ever mistaken for the guy on the left? And that's why they had to start slimming that Lovelady down because they realized they blew it. As I said, it was a comedy of errors.
