Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A tad too long
I downloaded this movie from Amazon for my husband who is a big Patton fan. I figured this movie would brighten him. I watched the movie this morning.

The acting is superb, as is expected from the cast, and the first hour is full of suspense and build-up. We see the tension between Eisenhower and Patton, we see Patton's respect for the German prisoners, and we learn about Patton's distaste for the Russians. But did Eisenhower want to hear that?

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Last Days of Patton
I remembered seeing this TV movie when it was shown way back when.
It is a good movie that brings the closure not found in the great 1971 Academy award winning movie "Patton". We have that one too!
George C. Scott was really good playing the character of his lifetime in Patton. Whether you believe Patton to be good or bad, history did show he ultimately had the right ideas about a lot of what was happening in the world at the end of WWII.

I gave it five stars for the touching performance by George C. Scott, reprising his role as General Patton.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - NOT AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL PATTON, BUT GOOD WATCHING.
THE ORIGINAL PATTON MOVIE WAS A BETTER MOVIE, BUT THIS ONE IS WELL WORTH WATCHING. iT WAS ALMOST HISTORIC.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Poor Picture Quality
Although the movie itself is good, this particular version has EXTREMELY poor quality. It was CLEARLY not professionally made. Buyer beware.
