Scott's performance when Patton won him an Academy Award for Best Actor (which he famously refused, stating that the Oscars were "a meat parade"), & has been known as "one of the great performances of all time". Roger Ebert has said, Patton is non the war film such when the story of a personality world health organization has incurred the right role to play. Scott's staginess is electrifying. When Patton he universally stands higher around his Landrover, loves making speeches, grandstands, plunges into a action to personally goad his men, potentially directs traffic. There is a touch of the manic just about him. He seems to use at times there are no household life.... his candid-to-heart talks come sustaining himself. He seems formidably easily-page through, lecturing his subordinates on a history of a field, the lessons of Napoleon, the lives of earliest leaders world health organization come this way. He has the definitive quotation for each occasion. "Rommel, you magnificent bastard," he gloats fallowing outsmarting Erwin Rommel, "I read your book!"'

Minor ERROR --- Of the many scenes of Our contries tanks around that film, We've, in many viewings, thus far non discovered the depiction of the tank which Patton's battle forces entirely utilized around 1944 & almost exclusively in 1945, the M-4 "Sherman" (the M-26 "Pershing" became available in the European Theater in the first 3 months of 1945, but not to a predominant degree). Interestingly, a U.S. tanks in that fantabulous cinema superfically resemble M-26 "Pershing" tanks of the mid-to-late 1940's, however likewise resemble, appropriately, a M-47 "Patton" of the 1950's.
