30 Dec Patton
“I love it. God help me, I do love it so.” (George C. Scott as General George S. Patton)
Patton, WWII Movie starring George C. Scott and Karl Malden
(1970) A great movie on many levels. It won seven academy awards … one for best picture, another for George C. Scott, who famously declined it.
The movie followed General Patton’s footsteps fairly accurately through critical battles.
I was fascinated by his love of history with references to ancient crusades … and by his unabashed love of war.
Watch the original trailer on Turner Classic Movies site.
