A great film about a great man. I get a lump in my throat every time I see the scene where Patton kisses the Monsignor's ring in Palermo. It is a shame that we can not produce such men today and how anachronistic Patton was. General Bradley suggests that after this we will not be enough to just be soldiers but administartors and bureaucrats, everything.How prophetic.

To General Patton a romantic warrior of the 16th century.

A unique film about a unique man. Its the greatest biopic I've ever seen. I think of it as a biopic first, but since it's the bio of a warrior, it's of course a war movie too, but only secondarily. Does that make sense?
