Ok Y'all!
HERE's a stumper! In the opening interview scene, Stuart Ullman the mgr. mentions hiring a "Charles Grady..."
Later on Jack meets a "Delbert Grady..." !!!!
Continuity gaffe? Hardly likely knowing Kubrick...
A "nickname"...?
Or, since Delbert appears in the "20's" themed ghost stuff, could he be Charles Grady's father?
Would be odd since he mentions his "girls". Another co-incidence?
Another odd thing is when Jack mentions to Grady reading about him in the newspaper..., since in the beginning he reacts to the Grady incident tale as he had never heard anything about it. In the book and miniseries, there is a scene where Jack finds a scrapbook in the basement detailing much of the hotel's past. Perhaps this scene was in the original Kubrick script too and was cut...
AND....Wouldn't Charles be more likely dressed in "70's" clothes?
Or has the overlook just assimilated him, (them) and melded people and memories.
Something to ponder and I have NEVER heard the definitive explanation!!!!
Peace! D
