This is an article from last year which I first read at the time. It is one of the most clever Simpsons related articles I have ever read.
<quote> Anecdote 1: I am having an argument with my aunt. An owner of Halliwell's Film Guide, she fancies herself something of a film connoisseur and she does know an occasional thing or two, but when she tells me (it comes up) that the star of Rear Window is Cary Grant, I drop some science on her head. It's Jimmy Stewart, I tell her, look it up. She does. I am triumphant.
Though it is always a pleasure to annihilate my aunt in argument it feels a bit hollow this time around, for I have never seen Rear Window, neither the old nor the restored version. But I did see the episode where the Simpsons get a pool. Bart breaks his leg and he is watched, from across the street, by a Jimmy Stewart imitation; and I do know a Jimmy Stewart imitation when I see one.
