Reel McCoy Film Society presents bi-monthly film screenings of classic cinema


PATTON (1970)
172 MINUTES, USA
DIRECTOR: FRANKLIN J. SCHAFFNER
CAST: GEORGE C. SCOTT, KARL MALDEN, MICHAEL BATES

The great actor George C. Scott shines in this Oscar-winning representation of the war-loving, controversial American World War 2 general, George S. Patton. The film follows the career of the egomaniacal but tactless genius from his commands in North Africa, to his removal from command for the assault of a shell-shocked GI in Sicily, and then his rise to success in the famous Battle of the Bulge. The epic screenplay was written at the height of the Vietnam War, by a young Francis Ford Coppola, and has hints of his later classic, Apocalypse Now.
