James Cagney came up with the idea to tap dance down the White House stairs only five minutes before the cameras rolled for a scene in the 1942 film Yankee Doodle Dandy. He intentionally did not consult with director Michael Curtiz beforehand, believing the director would forbid the dangerous improvisation on the smooth marble surface, and nailed the take perfectly in one go.
