George C. Scott declined the Oscar he won for his towering portrayal of General George S. Patton, warrior out of time, but the film garnered seven other Academy Awards in most of the major categories. Epic in scope, photographed in 65mm Dimension 150, and sporting another brilliant Goldsmith score, this is the war movie for people who hate war movies.
