Patton lingered on the shelf for months, but three hours last weekend finally appeared. I know nothing, historically, about the General, so my knowledge is now based on this fictionalized account. The film is compelling enough, though.
Metacritic wasn’t around in 1970, but for Oscar winners, they’ve gone back in time: 91 is the score. One more fact I didn’t know: Francis Ford Coppola was one of the screenwriters. I’m going to see Coppola’s new film Youth Without Youth on Sunday night. Reviews have not been stellar, but I’ll bet the editing is spectacular. 😉
