Entertainment Reviews:
...[PATTON] still mesmerizes on the strength of George C. Scott's chew-your-behind performance as George S. Patton...
USA Today
[A] riveting portrayal of rampant egomania with Scott fully deserving of his best actor Oscar.
Uncut
The movie's vision blurs the man and, incidentally, the just war around him.

TIME Magazine
Naturally... we see all sides of Patton, but are exposed only to the more shallow surfaces of the other characters.

...One of the best American movies....A great film....The opening shot is a stunner...
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 4/4 --
I'd like to pin four stars on each shoulder of George C. Scott for his perspective characterization of the military genius, the controversial man.

New York Daily News
George C. Scott's performance cannot be praised highly enough for capturing both the violence and the vulnerability of the Patton personality without degenerating either into vulgar caricature or cardboard sentimentality.

Product Description:
PATTON is a three-dimensional bronze bust of World War II field general George S. Patton (George C. Scott) who wrote poetry, fired pistols at strafing fighter planes, and loved America with a lofty and historical zeal. Tracing his personal rivalries with such generals as Rommel and Montgomery, 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. PATTON was recipient of 10 Academy Award Nominations and winner of eight, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor--Scott, Best (Adapted) Screenplay--Francis Ford Coppola/Edmund H. North.
