Interesting account of an interesting, one-of-a-kind man.

Rating: 6/10 (11 June 2001)

This is the story of General George (Old Blood & Guts) Patton. A remarkable man perhaps born out of his time. Eccentric, hard to figure out, but absolutely no nonsense, a true soldier. No middle ground, extremely passionate about everything, from his soldiering, to his patriotism, to his courage, to his poetry. Film based somewhat on General Omar Bradley's account. How much so, I don't know, but Bradley certainly looked good in the telling. Film had a decidedly anti-British flavor that I personally didn't care for, and it affected my vote. Made AFI's Top 100 list at #89. I don't know if we'd want a bunch of Patton's running our military, but we sure could use just one!
