Is the Zapruder film a composite or an original?

Do you really believe the Copy of whatever Zapruder was shown in court was Not also "Blurry"? You have been around long enough to Know what copies of the Z Film looked like back in the 60's,70's, 80's etc. Even that bootleg Z Film that Groden revealed to the public in "75" was a mass of absolutely Blurry Images. As to Zapruder's WC Testimony, he is UNABLE to ID Himself based on what He SEES on the Willis Slide. Zapruder gives a Vague ID based on knowing his position inside Dealey Plaza. Zapruder did Not "Immediately ID Himself". This description of Yours is incorrect. I am Not saying Zapruder was "in on the plot". What I am saying is based on the HUGE amount of $$$ he was given for his film, he is Not going to turn around and claim In Court that the film that Time/Life had in its' possession is Not the film he shot inside Dealey Plaza on 11/22/63. To do so would have resulted in Zapruder then being asked to forfeit his $$$ due to He being the one that sold/personally handed it to Time/Life. I will say Zapruder's general integrity can be questioned due to: (1) He did INTENTIONALLY HIDE the FACT he was paid $150,000 for the film & (2) He did INTENTIONALLY MISREPRESENT to the public that he donated ALL the money from his film to the Police Fund/Officer Tippit. This was Intentional Misrepresentation/ Fake News on the part of Zapruder.

You need to re read Z's testimony. What caught Zapruder's eye in the Willis slide wasn't only where he and S were standing, it was the pergola as well. He makes that quite clear when he confused the peristyles on the east end of DP with the pergola. And where did Zapruder state that he gave "all" his money to the Tippit family? I do not recall ever reading that. He is quoted as saying he donated $25,000 to the Tippit family. That's not the entire sum of money from Life.

Zapruder purposely misled the public as to the Total sum he was being paid for his film. He agreed with Time/Life to receive 6 yearly installments of $25,000 = $150,000 total for his film. Zapruder received his 1st $25,000 installment Immediately/1963. He then made it publicly known that he gave ALL the money he had received for his film = $25,000 to the Police/Tippit Family. This technically was true at that point in time though Zapruder still had $125,000 coming his way. Zapruder hid this fact, Plus Z basked in the good PR, (he also had a business/$$$), for having donating ALL the $$$ he had received for his film to the Police/Tippit family. A complete Sham.

"National Nightmare" by Richard B. Trask. "...One installment of $25,000 being paid Immediately, $25,000 being paid on Jan 3, 1964, and four other $25,000 installments that were paid on subsequent Jan. 3rd's up through 1968."

Where did this come from: " He then made it publicly known that he gave ALL the money he had received for his film = $25,000 to the Police/Tippit Family. "
Everything I have read re: the donation to the Tippit family, he stated as having given a portion of what he made from his film, not "all of it". Please point me to the citation for the exact words you are using to describe Zapruder's donation as to saying that he said he gave "all of it".
