A great biography about America's greatest general.

Rating: 8/10 (27 May 2015)

They couldn't have chosen a better star than George C. Scott to play General George S. Patton if they tried. The same goes for Karl Malden as General Omar Bradley.
Spoiler alert - I don't necessarily consider this strictly a 'war' movie, although, there are a few battles. Most of the movie contains discussions; speeches; meetings; strategic planning; and, other 'non-battle' scenes...as well as Patton constantly getting into trouble with his superiors because of his actions, and, his words and lack there of.
Much like "Battle of the Bulge" (1965), the tanks aren't the real types used during the battles in this war. I read somewhere that they are actually the 'same' tanks used in "Battle of the Bulge" (this movie was also made in Spain with the help of the Spanish Army, from whom all of these tanks were borrowed). The Americans are using later-model Sheridan tanks in place of Shermans; and, the Germans are using (ironically) later-model Patton tanks as Tigers. It's not a real big deal, but, many war movie buffs who are into details; and, historians and veterans; may find this unsettling, or, even silly.
Overall, I find this to be a great biography of the best general the United States has ever produced.
