Granger the Stranger!

Farley Granger is a strange sounding name. But strange isn't always a bad thing. Sure, we all had a parent or a teacher who warned us not to take candy from a stranger, but did you ever actually have some random stranger come up to you and try to give you a lollipop when you were a kid? Who knows how you would have reacted in the heat of the moment, right?

But even though you'll be hard pressed to find a stranger handing out candy, there are still strangers all over the place. On a bus. On a plane. Or, of course, on a train. Farley Granger met a stranger on a train once, and things didn't work out so tidy.

Check out the trailer for tonight's BookPeople sponsored showing of STRANGERS ON A TRAIN with Farley Granger himself live in person.





Mr. Granger will be live in person at the Alamo Downtown tonight to sign copies of his book and to talk about what it was like to work with Hitchcock, to fight his way out of his contract with Samuel Goldwyn , and to be a bisexual in the golden age of Hollywood and beyond.
