CAAN NURSING GODFATHER GRUDGE

The first cut is the deepest! Scene stealer JAMES CAAN,

82, is still grousing about a Godfather scene chopped out of the big-screen blockbuster after 50 years! In fact, when James first discovered director FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA

had axed the beefy bit during a VIP screening of the 1972 hit Mob flick, the rattled actor stormed out in a fit of fury. Bada bing! “There was a scene that I had with BOBBY [DUVALL] that was like ten pages long — and Francis cut all of it out!” recalls the star. “I was so pissed off, I couldn’t watch the rest of the film.” Maybe Jimmy should just fugetaboutit!
