Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

 This Gorilla Man clip was made in 1966, and then, they claimed it was from the Martin film. It most certainly is not. If it were from the Martin film, it would be in the Martin film, and it would look like the Martin film. Neither is true. But, let's consider all the characters in the clip. The man in the orange plaid shirt is supposed to be Billy Lovelady. He is not Billy Lovelady. I don't know who he is. The man in the Fedora hat at the top left is supposed to be the Fedora Man from the Altgens photo. But that's not where he was. He was next to the Obelisk on Elm Street. He was not in the doorway. But, they put him here. The young man being let into the TSBD is dressed like Doorman. I'm sure Doorman was the inspiration for him. Why would they put a Doorman there when Lovelady is supposed to be Doorman? I don't know what they were thinking. The young black man in the brown shirt is supposed to be Bonnie Ray Williams. He looks a lot like him, but Bonnie Ray was much skinnier.  The white man with the black hair at the bottom of the screen is supposed to be Danny Arce, who was an operative. He was in on the plot. The guy's not him, but he looks like him. What I really think they were up to is affect people subliminally. They were trying to authenticate this by having familiar faces in it. 

I'm baffled as to why they used the man in the orange hard hat. But, here's the clincher: In the center, notice the two women very close together. One is wearing a scarf. Was she inspired by Babushka Lady? And the other has curlers in her hair. Yeah, sure, she went to a Presidential motorcade wearing curlers. That's almost as bad as going in pajamas. But, what I want you to notice is that neither Scarf Lady nor Curlers Lady move. They are totally motionless. Everyone else is moving except them. They weren't there. They are still images that were added to the film. 

Notice that after he takes a drag from his cigarette (and note that Doorman didn't have any cigarettes on him, and neither does Gorilla Man. So, where'd he get the cigarette?) he turns his head to the left. He is well in front of Curlers Lady, but notice that his head turns right through her- LIKE SHE WASN'T THERE. 

And what were they doing there? They didn't work there. Curlers Lady didn't report to work that morning wearing curlers, did she? So, if she didn't work there, why was she interested in who was going in and out of the TSBD? She was put there to obscure Gorilla Man's face. She cuts him off. It's slight but significant. He wasn't Lovelady, so they had to be careful how much of his face they showed. And notice that when he does turn his face in profile to us, that it looks very distorted. I know he wasn't Lovelady, but was he really that ugly? Or was it the result of the photographic manipulation applied frame by frame to the film? 

Nobody has a face like that. He doesn't even look human. 

And since Doorman's shirt was sprawled open, why didn't they sprawl open Gorilla Man's shirt? I'll tell you why. Because: they forgot. It was a production error. I'm a filmmaker. I know about production errors. 

So, is there any chance this clip is real? NO!!!! Absolutely not. No one in it is real. It was shot years after the assassination. And the "story" of it is all wrong. Lovelady wasn't even out there at the time.
