Those two guys there on the left are what got my suspicions started about the Hughes film. Doorman was NOT hovering above Roy Lewis. They were far apart. You can see it in the Wiegman film, and you can derive it from the Altgens photo. There is no doubt that Doorman was in the center of the doorway. So, the only way to make sense of this is to say that initially, he hovered over Roy Lewis and then he moved to the center where we later see him. But, I consider that assumption to be arbitrary and capricious. And it make no sense from what we know of both Oswald and Lovelady.
Lovelady said he went outside to be with Bill Shelley and Sarah Stanton. He said he saw them from the window, then he decided to go out there to eat his lunch with them and wait for the motorcade. He said nothing about knowing Roy Lewis or hanging out with Roy Lewis. And Oswald? Are you kidding? He wasn't friends with anybody! He was a loner. He would never have gone to hover over Roy Lewis, not when there was plenty of room to spread out on the west side of the doorway, which there was. I think we can safely assume that that wasn't his style; he kept to himself.
Plus, the proportions are all wrong. Roy Lewis was big! 6'3" and well over 200 pounds. Oswald was 131! He may have weighed 100 pounds less. But, that guy higher up looks to be bigger than Lewis, so how can he be Oswald? And Lovelady was even shorter than Oswald, which made him a dwarf compared to Lewis. Plus, Lovelady never had his shirt sprawled open like that. Besides, we are well past that. Doorman was Oswald, and that's settled. He's wearing Oswald's clothes; he has Oswald's build; he's assuming Oswald's stance, and more. He's Oswald!
So, how could Oswald be that guy hovering over Lewis? I know he's higher up, but it's not just his elevation; it's his size, his breadth, and his apparent weight. He looks way too massive to be Oswald, especially in comparison to Lewis.
