The scene from “Patton” when the General is touring the battlefield at Kasserine after the Allied loss is one of the most visually stunning and emotional scenes ever laid on film.
Agree. It’s just one of the many scenes in that movie that you couldn’t remake today, since it shows Arabs stripping the soldiers’ bodies.
The voice-over of his letter to the dead soldier’s father, and the winter prayer, are also emotional show-stoppers.
And his comment on looking through binoculars at Rommel’s troops that he’s about to devastate with artillery: “What a hell of a waste of fine infantry.”
