I didn’t appreciate how great the French Connection was until like the fourth or fifth viewing. But my favorite scene still is the frogs having the delicious French food for lunch while Doyle toils in the cold with bad pizza and hot chocolate.
I have found that my love of any movie often revolves around a great food scene. Not sure why but that’s just I.
Having on occasion bumped into Eddie Egan, I can guarantee you he wasn't drinking hot chocolate:) These two were legends, and deservedly so.
