This is
the much acclaimed biopic about WWII American General George S.
Patton, who swept through Europe, inspiring fear by the Germans as
well as his own men through his unflinching tactical command.
Garnering
eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, this is an one-man
tour-de-force with George C. Scott delivering the role of his career.
With a sweeping scope and impressively mounted combat scenes, PATTON
is one of the most successfully developed war films of all time.
Only too many contrived moments regarding past lives and scenes
displaying Rommel and the Germans discussing the fears they have
about Patton mar the production. Obviously, required viewing for war
film and WW2 buffs, but terrific entertainment for everyone else.
