The broadening and the decrease of the superconducting transition temperature observed in high resistivity films of granular aluminum is analyzed in terms of a critical fluctuation model. Detailed grain size measurements indicate that the enhanced transition temperature observed in lower resistivity films is due to changes in the electron-phonon coupling rather than to an excitonic mechanism.
