- Farley Granger, Small Town Girl, 1952. Talk about meet cute… Rich kid gets arrested for speeding in a tiny township – and falls for the sheriff’s daughter. She was Jane Powell. No question about that. But MGM had such difficulty finding the playboy among its own ranks – Van Johnson, Peter Lawford, Dean Miller and Ricardo Montalban – that it borrowed Granger from Samuel Goldwyn Productions. Of the MGM boys, only Miller won a role. As Mac. (There’s always a Mac).
