a rather more interesting "error" than might
at first appear . . . for i believe that the actor
who went by the name of stewart granger was
in fact named james stewart but was unable to
use his own name because it was, as we all know,
already "taken" so to speak . . . and of course the
other james stewart plays opposite farley granger
in ROPE, giving the film a portmanteau "stewart
granger" and making leo right in a joycean kind
of way
