^ Good call.  Interestingly, that is a frame from a rather good recreation of the actual Z film (probably from Oliver Stone's JFK).   Zapruder was paid $150,000 by Time/Life magazine for the original in-camera version (which they vaulted away for many years).   Three copies were made for Zapruder, the FBI, and the Secret Service.   Those original copies are unaccounted for but recently several people have come forward to say they've seen the original and it is vastly different from the common public version we all see online or in documentaries.
