Product: George C. Scott: The Last Days of Patton (1986)
Rating: 4.0
Great film but the historical details are open to interpretation
History & military enthusiasts will enjoy this film. However, the recreation of Patton's car "accident" does not match up with the facts known about the actual events and "accident" scene. Recent evidence and witness testimony suggests the car crash was a pre-meditated act to assassinate Patton and that a major cover-up of the potential crime scene occurred after the event. The truth behind Patton's demise remains to be fully told and this film leaves out some of those facts. Patton's legacy deserves better.
