    Why did Van Johnson not end up as Eliot Ness?

    		After John Paul Jones (1959), in which he played the Scots-born "father of the US Navy", [Robert] Stack got his most famous role by default. Van Johnson was originally slated to play Eliot Ness, but he backed out the weekend before filming over a money dispute.
