re: #113 HappyWarrior
If you showed him footage of the real Patton speaking, he wouldn’t know it. But yes a lot of people are fans of Scott’s Patton rather than the real guy who was very much a complicated figure. Entertaining movie by the way but Scott’s Patton was different than the real guy.
(To be honest, I’m a fan of Mad magazine’s treatment of the movie Patton as much as I am of the movie itself.)
