If you like to look into the eyes of an actor giving arguably his greatest performance, look beyond the surface into the soul of Scott giving life to Patton. The big pictures of the war are well replicated, capturing the sweep of Schaffner s vision of the African, Italian and European campaigns. The quieter, more meditative moments in Patton give Scott the opportunity to explore his character and create the unforgettable screen general. The moments of private humor about Patton s beliefs in former lives add terrific, and Scott mines them to the bottom of the strike. Karl Malden is a solid General Omar Bradley.
