     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
