Turns out that it was someone's idea of a joke to put them together on the same boat, because Johann and Franz were their last names! It's been awhile, and I can't check because the book is in my storage, but I think it was Karl Johann and Emil Franz. |
*checks book* Page 45. August Johann and Karl Franz. In the movie, Franz only gets one or two brief moments of screen time while the book explains a bit more about the two. After reading how different they are in the book, I developed a bit of a gripe during Johann's "key" scene in the movie. Not a real big deal, but it was a big departure from the original text.
