Farley Granger is probably best remembered today as an actor for his appearance in two Alfred Hitchcock films Rope and Strangers on a Train (with Robert Walker) and in director Nicholas Ray's 1949 film They Live By Night (with Cathy O'Donnell). He was dissatisfied with the options open to him in Hollywood and ultimately bought himself out of his seven year contract with producer Samuel Goldwyn. In 1954 he went to Italy and starred in Luchino Visconti's masterpiece Senso. Beginning in the 1960s, Granger began to focus on stage work and appeared on Broadway in many productions including Arthur Miller's The Crucible, Tennesse William's The Glass Menagerie and Iran Levin's Deathtrap. In 1971 he appeared in Enzo Barboni's Spaghetti Western They Call Me Trinity. In the 1990s Granger began appearing in several documentaries discussing Hollywood, Alfred Hitchcock and the depiction of homosexuality in film. These include Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's ground-breaking adaptation of Vito Russo's book The Celluloid Closet as well as Rick McKay's 2004 film Broadway: The Golden Age, by the Legends Who Were There.
