Strangers on a Train is Farley at his finest. One of the all time great movies.

I loved Farley Granger even when I was young watching “old movies” with my grandmother. He seems like a very personable man in this interview. Thanks.

love Farley Granger. So handsome. and love the most of his movies.

Always felt Farley Granger was under appreciated as an actor gave some great performances in strangers on a train and they live by night.

I finally met Farley Granger in the 90s at a dinner at the Players Club in Gramercy Park, N.Y.C. and l sat at his table with the famed publicist John Springer and his lovely wife June, the event was for 'They Live By Night' with a q and e after the film.

Farley and Cathy together in Ray’s “They Live By Night” was enough all by itself to immortalize everybody involved. Of course there’s more!

He was definitely dreamy!! Love him in Rope.

I worked with him when he was cast as Caligula in The Robert Lewis Acting Company. He left the company before the play opened. He was a fine actor and had many interesting stories to share. I was the stage manager and wrote about the experience in my book: "Bobby Lewis: The Man, the Method and the Mission."

Love 'Side Street", particularly because of Granger's work. Didn't realize he had such a great sense of humor. Thanks!

Farley Granger's book "Include Me Out" is one of my favorite autobiography reads ever! What a wonderful man with a great perspective on "the biz" and craft. Thrilled you posted this wonderful gem of an interview! (Love the shout out to the legendary cinematographer James Won't Howe, perfect for for AAPI month.) More of this, please TCM, thanks 😊

Gorgeous man. Love his movies.

I saw Mr. Granger play the lead, (Michael Cain's part in the film,) in "Death Trap" on Broadway, and he was sensational. My parents saw him playing "Mr. Darcy" in "First Impressions," a musical version of "Pride And Prejudice." I grew up with the Broadway soundtrack of this. Mr. Granger was not only very handsome but very, very talented.

This is absolute gold. Thank you so much.

I love him!!! So classy and what’s tremendous talent

If Hitchcock put him in roles, you know you have an actor. Strangers on a Train, Rope two of Hitchcock's finest. His talent was unlimited. RIP Farley.

Love Farley Granger. Wish it had been Robert Osborne doing the interviewing.

Loved him in Purple Heart with Dana Andrews. I was so young back then but thought he was so good looking, cried at the end when they were walking to their execution, still tear up til. this day.

Telling the stories of his time in the movies a different era of movies .what a good interview this is. I liked the film stranger on a train that he was in . The films told the story of their times, and how they lived in that time .

I wish he had more to say about Cathy O'Donnell. She was so good in "They Live by Night."

Just delightful. Thank you!

All of these type of interviews are wonderful and very much appreciated.

Great interview. Thank you

Wonderful interview with a wonderful actor!

What. Real person not affected with his persona of a STAR !! WOW ! Very impressed !!!! Thank You 🙏🏻

Fabulous actor Rope,Strangers on a train and They live by night.

I can remember, later in Farley's career, he had a running role on my favorite soap, "As the World Turns", as Lisa's fifth (or possibly sixth, I lost count) husband, Interpol agent Earl Mitchell. He was so cute, even then, in his 60s, and he was great in the role.

Thoroughly enjoyable -- thank you!

I guess I wanted to think Danny Kaye was as endearing behind the scenes as he was in his movies. I appreciate the fact that Granger restrained himself when discussing him though.

I saw him as "Tom" in "The Glass Menagerie" on Broadway with the great Jo van Fleet as Amanda. I will never forget Granger for one reason, something so rare at the Broadway level that I have never heard of it before or since -- that being the audience yelling, "We can't hear you!" "Louder!" during one or two of his DOWNSTAGE soliloquies. And he COULDN'T be heard! They were right! This was a paying audience, not a rehearsal. Never will forget that.

What a likeable guy!

Seems like a nice man. Strangers on a Train is one of my faves, and Mr Granger was very good in it.

reading his autobiography,,,,, compelling.

Brilliant actor! Lovely interview.

Great interview. Fine actor, and beautiful man

WOW !! -- FARLEY GRANGER -- HE WAS AROUND IN 1995??? Gosh , Yes was VERY HANDSOME ! FROM U.K.

The interviewer's voice and miking aren't great, but her questions are studied, well-prepared and incisive. Good job. I suppose this was shot assuming the interviewer's voice would be cut: too bad: she knows her stuff. Granger good here.

1925 - 2011. R.I.P.

A lovely person.

A true gay icon. He and his partner Bob Calhune, never really lived in the closet. I respect that give the times.

OMG I was crushing on him when I was in my early teens

He was in "They Call Me Trinity" With Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer. Great Flick

Strangers on a Train is my favorite!

Great Actor!!!

I enjoyed Farley on One Life to Live.

I remember seeing this guy in a few European Giallo / exploitation films in the 60’s and 70’s. They were actually really good but lots of sex and nudity for the time. A lot of older actors who were a bit over the hill did the European scene. Tarantino touched upon it in “Once upon a time in Hollywood”.

So handsome.

Almost nothing about his experience with Visconti? Considering it is a great film and Luchino Visconti wanted Brando, the six months in Italy must have been interesting.

She didn' t ask him about his film with Visconti, one of the few geniuses of the cinema. It had to be Mr. Granger who mentioned it.

hey Farley

Hitch was a technician. More directors should be more comfortable with the technical side of filmmaking.

A very good actor. I’ve seen all of Stewart Granger movies. He did’t hide who he was! A very handsome man as well

As a gay man, I was particularly proud of learning that he was also gay. So strikingly handsome in his heyday. Mmmmm mmmm

‘’The North Star’’ A workers paradise ! The reality millions sent to the gulags.

She kind of sounds like she’s in the ladies room.

In @ least 1 way Granger was typical of Hollywood studio system, he slept with EVERYONE! His career doesn't seem rebel as much as typical, after falling out with Goldwyn he struggled to keep working, whether it be stage, NYC, Europe, television. Even Teresa Wright, who was Oscar nominated for her 1st 3 performances, never recovered from crossing Goldwyn. Granger's perennial boyishness may have been good for his popularity offscreen, but not great for being cast as leading man longterm.

Wow. That black list sounds pretty shitty. I guess some things never change

Cat and mouse. Cat and mouse. Who's the cat and who's the mouse.

Farley was a gorgeous man who always kept his looks well into his old age. But I can't believe such a soft spoken, easy going handsome man like him did actually had a serious relationship with Shelly Winters. Although she was super talented, she had no beauty or glamor, and was a little too Brooklyn brassy to jibe with Farley's gentler nature . In fact, by his own admission, she "was a dear, old friend" and they lived in the same building. I think they considered marriage to keep the fiction going; that he was heterosexual, but he backed out because he was gay. He blamed his decision not to marry her on the notorious publicity that would ensue, and that he "didn't want to be a part of." That Farley had an affair with Ava Gardner, okay, I could believe that. Ava could even make a straight woman gay. LOL

So he accounts Visconti was greater than Hitchcock..well Visconti gets a great performance from Alida Valli in `Senso` whereas she is wasted in Hitchcock`s `The Paradine Case`.

Sam Goldwyn wasted his talents. Farley appeared in seven films for Goldwyn- and all but one of them were *FLOPS.* The one that WAS a success was Danny Kaye's "Hans Christian Andersen", his last for the studio.

When you`re great, race/religion/orientation mean nothing!

First

The interviewer is horrible.

A good actor, but never really a big star. He has aged well.

That just shows you what bullies the studio heads were and still are. You couldn’t be your self or have your own life 🙄

Farley Smalsie?, still think of you, best contact, treated me, with respect! Thank you, and for the mower!

Farley Granger (July 1, 1925 - March 27, 2011) was a great actor. His biography (with Robert Calhoun) Include Me Out: My Life from Goldwyn to Broadway is fascinating. For anyone looking for salacious sexual details, may I suggest Hollywood Babylon or Scotty Bowers' book, because Farley's will not suit your desires. He does elaborate on who he's had relationships with, how they occurred, and some additional other particulars about their time together. But he doesn't go into explicit or graphic details about the "whats" of his sexual encounters. And he also mainly covers his lovers who were public figures which is why there is relatively little about Bob Calhoun, despite the fact he was Farley's main partner in life. I also believe personally that he probably didn't greatly detail their life together, because that was the most important relationship Farley ever had. It was more meaningful and intimate than any other of his romances. I think he probably wished to maintain that bond as sacred by keeping those specifics between the two of them and their close loved ones.
