Breakfast With... James Cagney

Grapefruit.


You know, I saw this movie The Public Enemy (not the same story as the upcoming Michael Mann film) when I was like 16 and I've hated James Cagney ever since. I know that's not right but I can't get past it. I've yet to watch his Oscar winning performance in Yankee Doodle Dandy because he made me so mad in this movie. Poor Mae Clark. Grapefruit is yummy but not when it's on your face. Even squirting it in your eye is damn uncomfortable and that happens.

And thus ends "Breakfast With" (all 26 episodes here) for now. In the 5th week of my series, EW coopted it for their own "top 14 breakfast scenes", damn them. They started with this scene right here, which I'd forgotten about. Very famous it is.
