Review of Patton (1970) by Ken S — 29 May 2012
George C. Scott gives a terrific performance in this biography of the U.S. General George S. Patton during World War II. From the iconic opening scene to the very end the film, Scott gives his all as the General.
Beyond just Scott's great work, you also get great direction from Franklin J. Schaffner, who also directed "Planet of the Apes" a few years before, and a script co-written by Francis Ford Coppola before he came to notoriety himself with "The Godfather".
The score from Jerry Goldsmith is also pretty damn good. All around this film had lots of talent on it, and it showed.
