Patton

Largometraje / Feature film

Year: 1970

Director: Franklin J. Schaffner

Producer: Franklin J. Schaffner

This biographical film narrates the actions of General George S. Patton, a prominent figure in the United States Army during World War II.

Portrayed by George C. Scott, the movie begins with the controversial speech that, according to historians, the general delivered to his soldiers before heading to war.

Patton’s commanding demeanor instills fear even among high-ranking Nazi officials, as he has achieved notable victories, including defeating the formidable German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in North Africa. Thus, he embarks on an unstoppable march across Europe with his troops, gaining increasing prestige through his triumphs. In addition to his strategic brilliance, the general possesses a remarkable gift for oratory, further enhancing his popularity. His speeches reveal his disdain for communism and the British. However, suspicions about the true cause of his death arose when he allegedly passed away in a car accident in Germany.
