“Patton” offers one of the big marriages of actor and role with George C. Scott’s riveting portrayal of the well-known American tank commander. As a film biography “Patton” forgoes the rise of the noted general and merely hints at his ironic death because of injuries suffered in a traffic accident, focuses entirely on his military career commanding troops in North Africa, Sicily and France during World War II. The strength of the script by Francis Ford Coppola and Edmund H. North, as well as of Scott’s performance, is that the paradoxes of Patton are completely embraced. Not even Patton’s actual cadre of staff officers can retain him from shooting off his mouth every time there are reporters around, but then neither German Field Marshall Rommel or English Field Marshall Montgomery can beat him on the battlefield. Karl Malden’s performance as General Omar Bradley is objective as solid as Scott’s, presenting a man whose personality is the complete antithesis of Patton. Viewers procure themselves identifying with the German captain who is the intelligence expert on Patton and arguably the only person in the film who really understands or respects the American general. But the more I spy “Patton,” the more I am very impressed with the battle sequences of director Franklin J. Schaffner (”Planet of the Apes,” “Pappillon”), which were staged live and full-scale without special effects of miniatures. Schaffner provides not unprejudiced the astronomical spectacle of a desert tank battle, but smaller and equally memorable moments, such as a soldier falling slow in the snow. “Patton” deserved its Oscars.
In terms of extra features on this DVD, the second disc features the 1997 50-minute retrospective documentary, “The Making of Patton: A Tribute to Franklin J. Schaffner.” Novel interviews with the cinematographer, composer, etc., are blended with audio interviews of Schaffner and Scott from 1970, newsreel footage of Patton, along with clips and publicity stills from the film develop a fitting tribute to the leisurely director. The audio commentary on the first disc is really more of a lecture on Patton by Charles M. Province, the author of the book “The Unknown Patton” and founder/president of the General George S. Patton, Jr. Historical Society. Province more than adequately fills in what the movie leaves out about Patton’s life. On the second disc Jerry Goldsmith’s Oscar nominated musical salvage is presented in stereo, including alternate takes and a series of radio spots. You certainly have to bask in what Fox has assign together here: This is a “Special Edition” DVD priced as a regular DVD, a exact treat for those of us who remember being mesmerized by George C. Scott giving that profanity laced opening speech standing in front of that giant American flag.
The Fox “Cinema Classic Collection” edition of PATTON offers a far expedient relate transfer than the previous THX edition. The modern image looks to be from precise 65mm elements and is far less grainy than the extinct transfer, which looks to have been from 35mm dupes. However, sometimes colors are a petite unstable in unique image, with often pinkish hues and reddish flesh tones, but most of the time the recount looks glorious. The soundtrack seems the same as the ragged edition, which was impartial magnificent. All of the extras from the previous edition have been retained, and the recent commentary by screenwriter Francis Ford Coppola is challenging.
