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 George Patton, the only Allied general truly feared by the Nazis. Charismatic and Flamboyant, Patton designed his own uniforms, sported ivory-handled six-shooters, and believed he was a warrior in past lives. He outmanuevered Rommel in Africa, and after D-Day led his troops in an unstoppable campaign across Europe. But he was rebellious as well insight and poignancy, his own volatile personailty was one enemy he could never defeat.

Average Rating: 4.5 Total Reviews: 286
(Robert J. Bodnar, 2009-11-01) You mindless soldier better listen up. This general SOB takes no talk about being cowards. You better watch this video or he give you a right hook. It George Scott and he plays Patton. He hatesd Germans and Russian and espocally his own generals. He the poster boys why you never let someone like him playing with toy tanks. This is the best WWII movie and if you a WWII fan like me. This is your only understanding why we won WWII, buy this video it never gets old.
(Best Buy Rewardzone, 2009-09-28) I am very pleased with the Movie Patton which I purchased on Amazon. Be sure if you order Patton that it is the movie you order and not the other DVD Patton. The Movie is the one with our American Flag with Patton Standing at Attention and Saluting. Truly a great movie. Bill KnapsPatton
(Gerald K. Wilhoite, 2009-09-14) Product was exactly as advertised, and I look forward to enjoying many viewings in the coming years! Thanks for the item.
(Lee Jensen, 2009-08-26) The video depicts the personal faults of one of our greatest tacticians of World War 2. It is a wonder with the problems he had with his mouth that he got as far as he did. But I was left wondering what his aids contributed to his success. I once heard someone that served under him that when they saw the video, George Scott immediately reminded them of Patton.
(Chris, 2009-08-11) What a truly excellent film! I remember seeing 'Patton' some years ago and being struck by how great it was. The movie inspired me to read as much material on General George S. Patton as I could. Patton the man and the film our two of my favorite things. George C. Scott really had the role of a lifetime here. He does not fumble the opportunity. He nails the part to perfection. One of the only differences between the two men was that Patton had a higher pitched voice. As his biographer Carlo D'Este once said, "Patton would have loved to have a voice like George C. Scott's." Scott's Patton is funny, mean, tough, fair, and moving. His portrayal of Patton's rage at the battle fatigued soldier is excellently played as is his stunned reaction at being put in the doghouse. His admission for his love of war over a smoking battlefield is a classic. Scott is great and he carries the picture. Karl Malden is a good foil for Patton as the legendary Omar Bradley. His Bradley seemed to me to be a little nicer than the actual Bradley was but it works for the movie. Oddly, Eisenhower is not depicted in the movie but his presence is felt throughout. You are riveted by this film from the beginning to the end. The entrance of Scott at the opening of the movie is one of the great introductions to a movie character in all of cinema. The DVD contains good picture and sound plus some interesting documentaries especially the 'History vs. Hollywood' that explains some of the creative licenses that were taken in the film. Highly recommended!
