He was great in Patton-one of the best movies ever made.

I saw Patton in Point Barrow while serving in the Air Force. I bought the Patton biography and was amazed at the wonderful job that Mauldin did.

The scene where the chaplins are being conducted on a tour of his living quarters. When one spies the bible on the nightstand he askes when Patton reads the bible and his response is "Every god damned night!" was excellent.

Mauldin was a lifelong treat for me and he will be missed.
