Patton - 1970 - 7/10
Detailed overview of the flamboyant US tank general during World War II.
Not a biography, but a narrow view of 1942-1945.
Perceptive view of the flawed human, and the military genius.
Long (almost 3 hours), yet absorbing, punctuated with ferocious battle scenes.
George C. Scott deservedly won an Oscar.
Scott’s dominance overshadows other actors, almost the film itself.
