Knew a fine old gent who served in the Third Army. Said Geo Scott nailed the Patton character, except for the deep, gravelly voice used for the performance. The real Gen. Patton had a somewhat high and sqeaky voice.
I grew up ~ 1 mile from the San Marino home of G S Patton (its just down the street from the Hunting Library/Estate) Know quite a lot about him as a local hero although San Marino has been overtaken by immigrant Chinese. Patten would be rolling over in his grave if he were alive today to see what has become of SoCal............(I left and live in NorCal now)
