One of the very best film biographies.

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 2003)

Very few men of the 20th.century have left their mark in film biographies. Lawerence of Arabia and Gandhi achieved it and so too did
General George Patton in the perfect portrayal by Geroge C. Scott. Much has been written and spoken about both men - the general and the actor, but a rare symbiosis occurs in this movie. Scott is Patton. I have just watched the film again tonight - the umpteenth time - as I was a cinema projectionist at the time of the initial release and projected the images on to the wide screen many times. Even now, thirty three years on, Fred Konekamp's images in Dimension 150 are absolutely stunning and unsurpassed in classical composition. This movie is in my top ten. It is in good company. 'The Train', 'Zorba the Greek' and 'Fail Safe' are in there too.
