A wonderful and factual 'bio'pic.

Rating: Null/10 (10 October 2014)

*Spoiler/plot- Patton, 1970. The WW2 story of a elderly army general's exploits and inner thoughts as he contributed to the winning of the European theater of war.
*Special Stars- George C. Scott, Karl Maudin.
*Theme- War is a hard business and should be done by professionals.
*Trivia/location/goofs- Academy Award winner, gave Oscar back to the Academy. General Patton had a uncharacteristically high pitched scratchy voice. Not as the film portrayed. Filmed in Spain with Spanish army subing for German WW2 army. The same production team did another good military bio-pic about Douglas MacArthur starring Greg Peck.
*Emotion- A wonderful and factual 'bio'pic based on the WW2 exploits of Americas most knowledgeable and flamboyant army general. A great film done at the ironic height of the anti-war fervor against the Vietnam War years. My father, a WW2 vet liked this film immensely and said it was better factually in showing his European WW2 experience.
*Based On- Two Patton biography books.
