A critically acclaimed film that won a total of eight 1970 Academy Awards (including Best Picture), PATTON is a riveting portrait of one of the 20th century's greatest military geniuses. One of it's Oscars went to actor George C. Scott, who portrayed the only Allied general truly feared by the Nazis.
Charismatic and flamboyant, Patton designed his own uniforms, sported ivory-handled six-shooters, wrote poetry, believed he was a warrior in past lives, and loved America with a lofty and historical zeal. He outmanuevered Germany's Rommel in Africa, and after D-Day led his troops in an unstoppable campaign across Europe. But he was rebellious as well, in sight and poignancy, a volatile personality being the one 'enemy' he could never defeat.
Tracing his personal rivalries with such generals as Rommel and Montgomery (Britain), his problematic treatment of his own men, and his nearly runaway contempt for diplomacy, the film triumphs as an enduring portrait of a complex and larger-than-life figure.
