Rating: 5.0
Patton is my hero...!
After watching the first movie about Gen. Patton called PATTON, I began to read war stories about his exploits in licking the jackboot clicking Hitler and his Nazi army. General George S. Patton was every inch a soldier, too bad he didn't lived long enough to fight and subdue the muderous Jap invaders in the Pacific...!I also read the book, The Last Days of Patton and had watched this minseries on TV. I owned a video. Now I'd just ordered the DVD version. The actor, George C. Scott, appeared tough, profane, aggressive but compassionate - a good and worthy counter part of Patton! However, Scott refused the Oscar for his role in Patton. It was sad that Gen. Patton had to die in this manner - not by the last bullet but by a seemingly foolish accident. Or was it a conspiracy to get rid of this brave and outspoken general, since he couldn't get along with Eisenhower and his hatchet man - Beetle...? Like the movie, Patton, the Last Days of Patton, made initially for TV, remains a classic and ought to be on the shelf of all discriminate viewers. Thanks and happy viewing...
