I saw that but decided not to nitpick. Cary Grant is trustworthy, isn't he?

Stewart wanted the part and thought it was going to be offered to him. Hitchcock was talking about "North by Northwest" while Hitchcock and Stewart were working on another film ("Vertigo" maybe?) but not apparently with the intent of offering the part to Stewart. He always had Grant in mind. So to avoid a sticky situation Hitchcock waited till he knew Stewart was involved in another film and then "offered" him a shot at the part. "Oh you're not free? Terribly sorry."

D'oh!  My mind was playing tricks on me.  And it's one of my favorite performances, too, right behind Spencer Tracy in IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE...
