Wow, how close we came...
Personally, I've always thought that Patton and Monty hated each other because they were too much alike. Excellent tacticians and very, very poor strategists. (Much like their personal hero Hannibal). They didn't know how to "use" a victory and blamed each other for that fault. Eisenhower was, however, the ultimate strategist so, he kept them both in line (and then we won). However, I'm glad he died before he could start world war III. Monty, at least, didn't publicly state that he was dumb enough to do that. I think this movie, from what I've read, is a fairly accurate portrayal. I don't think Mr. "our blood, his guts" would have been a very good thing for the post war world.
