The story of one of the American military’s most notorious and controversial leaders is memorably told in this epic Best Picture winner. In an Oscar-winning performance (which he famously rejected), George C. Scott plays General George S. Patton, the World War II commander whose notorious temper and outspokenness led to his relief of command. A film about General Patton had been in discussion since his death in 1945. Producer Frank McCarthy and screenwriter Francis Ford Coppola waited until they had the full support and consultation of the U.S. Army to officially make the movie. The dedication to authenticity makes this one of the great military films and one of the great biopics. — Jack Fields
