George C. Scott completes his enterpretation of the Patton character in this second movie. In some ways, this tells more about the MAN than the famous first movie. It touches on his long running affair with his neice, and the interaction between this young woman and his wife as he lay dying after an auto accident. We see the man exposed, giving a more realistic view of the inner personality rather than the "war face." While it is not a complete picture, it is a necessary viewing for individuals who want to know more about General Patton and those times.

After watching the first movie about Gen. Patton called PATTON, I began to read war stories about his exploits in licking the jackboot clicking Hitler and his Nazi army. General George S. Patton was every inch a soldier, too bad he didn't lived long enough to fight and subdue the muderous Jap invaders in the Pacific...!
I also read the book, The Last Days of Patton and had watched this minseries on TV. I owned a video. Now I'd just ordered the DVD version. The actor, George C. Scott, appeared tough, profane, aggressive but compassionate - a good and worthy counter part of Patton! However, Scott refused the Oscar for his role in Patton. It was sad that Gen. Patton had to die in this manner - not by the last bullet but by a seemingly foolish accident. Or was it a conspiracy to get rid of this brave and outspoken general, since he couldn't get along with Eisenhower and his hatchet man - Beetle...? Like the movie, Patton, the Last Days of Patton, made initially for TV, remains a classic and ought to be on the shelf of all discriminate viewers. Thanks and happy viewing...

The "must have" companion to "Patton." George C. Scott reprises his role with the same insight and depth of portrayal that won him the Oscar for "Patton." The DVD version is excellent, and arrived exactly when promised.
