I saw some footage of that. Always remarkable to me how well Scott nailed the character, but he didn’t get the midwestern Kansas twang. Sort of like Lincoln apparently had a voice unlike any we might imagine of him, but with Patton there are some recordings.

Patton had a rather high voice as opposed to George C. Scott’s more gravelly one.

Carlo D’Este’s biography is excellent. One of his arguments is that Patton was dyslexic, which contributed to some of his idiosynchrisies. However, he was a very learned historian and war stategist. Brilliant man.
