Entertainment Reviews:
Nixon's favorite movie, which proves he was blind to ambiguity as well as a few other things.

Chicago Reader
Rating: 4/4 --
Although I have sometimes complained about the length of movies, I wouldn't begrudge a single minute from Patton's nearly three hour running time.

Three Movie Buffs
Naturally... we see all sides of Patton, but are exposed only to the more shallow surfaces of the other characters.

Los Angeles Free Press
...One of the best American movies....A great film....The opening shot is a stunner...
Chicago Sun-Times
4 stars out of 5 -- It's certainly a great performance from Scott, a seamless, pity-free portrayal.
Total Film
The film lays bare the roots of Patton's lust for power in his willingess to sacrifice everything to his vaunting ego, a trait which is mirrored in George C Scott's superb performance.

Time Out
...[PATTON] still mesmerizes on the strength of George C. Scott's chew-your-behind performance as George S. Patton...
USA Today
Product Description:
PATTON is a three-dimensional bronze bust of World War II field general George S. Patton (George C. Scott) who wrote poetry, fired pistols at strafing fighter planes, and loved America with a lofty and historical zeal. Tracing his personal rivalries with such generals as Rommel and Montgomery, his problematic treatment of his own men, and his nearly runaway contempt for diplomacy, the film triumphs as an enduring portrait of a complex and larger-than-life figure. PATTON was recipient of 10 Academy Award Nominations and winner of eight, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor--Scott, Best (Adapted) Screenplay--Francis Ford Coppola/Edmund H. North.
