Product: George C. Scott: The Last Days of Patton (1986)
Rating: 4.0
Decent Sequel to a Great Film
The Last Days of Patton depict the life of George S. Patton from the end of the war and his appointment as military governor of Bavaria through his death from complications following a car accident in December 1945. Patton is one of the most polarizing military figures, and George C Scott does an admirable job reprising the role that won him an Oscar in 1970. However, the film is no where near as epic as the original film, and George C. Scott doesn't seem to have the fire, or the convincing acting, that made thr first film great. Having said that, the film explores a part of Patton's life that is rarely discussed, and really humanizes the man that was deified in the original film. Worth a watch.
