A great, but very slow paced drama about a dying legend, this film is the exact opposite of the epic war film "Patton". The entire film is either General Patton lying in bed or flashbacks to his youth.
The director did many films for Hollywood and television. His memorable movies include Best Picture "Marty" and "Dear Heart". "December 9, 1945 (a day before he was to transfer back to the United States), Patton is involved in an automobile accident that seriously injures his spinal column, paralyzing him. As he lies in his hospital bed, he flashes back to earlier pivotal moments in his life...."---wikipedia 
Were it not for legend actor George C. Scott, this television drama would have been dead on arrival itself. But for fans of Scott its a real treat to see an actor use only his face to act. He cannot move from his bed as he is nearly all paralyzed. Suggested for mature audiences only. Action fans need not watch as comedy fans need not watch. This is very serious subject matter which can only be watched in a contemplative mood. Cast George C. Scott as General George S. Patton Eva Marie Saint as Beatrice Patton Murray Hamilton as Brigadier General "Hap" Gay Ed Lauter as Dr. Lt. Col. Paul Hill Richard Dysart as General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower Kathryn Leigh Scott as Jean Gordon, Patton's niece Ron Berglas as Young George S. Patton Horst Janson as Baron von Wangenheim Daniel Benzali as Col. Glen Spurling Don Fellows as Lt. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith Errol John as Sgt. 1st Class George Meeks Alan MacNaughton as Brigadier Hugh Cairns Paul Maxwell as Lt. Gen. Geoffrey Keyes Lee Patterson as Col.

You often make reference to the exploitive character of films, or, as you put it. They made it for a fast buck. In my estimation, does this flick reveal an iota more than what the original biographical movie revealed about Patton? It is a MOOT QUESTION. Thanks for posting

No, the movie did not reveal much more about the man Patton than the hit movie, except it revealed a very nostalgic guy laying in bed the entire movie on his back. I guess even gung ho warriors are not so gung ho when its their body in the hospital! Still, it was a memorable movie.
