- HD Film Tributes Supports Kamala Harris for President! - kamalaharris.com/
I've never done anything like this before with this channel, however this is the most important presidential election of my lifetime. -- Donald Trump is a convicted felon who has also been found liable for both fraud and sexual assault. In addition, he clearly does not respect the democratic process unless the results are in his favor. That is why I am using this channel (and the over one million views it gets per day) to encourage people to vote for Kamala Harris on November 5th. She supports raising the minimum wage, LGBTQ rights, clean energy, and a woman's right to choose. -- I realize that I'll probably lose some subscribers because of this post, and for that I'm sorry because I hate to see anyone go. -- Anyway, thank you for reading.
-- Soundtrack from the 1970 Franklin J. Schaffner film "Patton," with George C. Scott, Karl Malden, Paul Stevens, Michael Bates, Edward Binns, Michael Strong, Frank Latimore, Morgan Paull & Bill Hickman. -- HD Film Tributes is a channel with over three hundred movie homages currently posted.

'Rommel, you magnificent bastard... I'VE READ YOUR BOOK!'
The dude was kinda a psycho. "Yeah i remember fighting here against Carthage." Bruh the Hell are you talking about? But hey, sometimes it takes a psycho to be a good general.
@Colin M, how dare you call America's greatest General a psycho. Shame on you.
@@RD-lu1tr Well he kinda was. Not a straight jacket type, but the "wtf are you talking about?" kinda crazy. He thought he was reincarnated multiple times and said "Yeah i was here fighting with the Roman army. Yeah i was with Alexander the Great's army." Which everyone sorta rose a brow and said "uhhhhh..." He wasn't a bad general, but weird.
@@RD-lu1tr And i wouldn't say he was our greatest. Hes up there, but id give the title to Robert E. Lee. Even though he was technically a rebel, he was able to spank the Union over and over again with fewer men, less manpower, less industry, and simple used wits.
@@colinm8200 Patton didn’t mean that literally, it was a metaphor that he’s as great a general as Scipio
The trumpet sound is run through an Echoplex Tape delay machine - same technique GOldsmith used for Alien through a conch shell, creating that hainting "wind effect".
This song is basically America in a nutshell. I petition to make this the new anthem. Patton was the Stonewall Jackson of WW2. "Keep moving! Press on! Press on!" Whenever the Germans fell back, most Generals would say "Alright take a rest." Patton would say "KEEP GOING!"
they play this every morning on the loudspeakers at camp arifjan
@@sparkrefined7587 What damn camp is that? Cause im in. It would make me want to get up instead of a stupid whistle and getting barked at. Im about to join the Coast Guard so i'd love that. I almost want to sneak something in that i can wake up 5 mins before to this song and be ready for when they start barging in at bootcamp. Then ill be fresh and ready.
@@colinm8200 Camp Arifjan is an AO in Kuwait. home on the 160th Signal Brigade. unfortunately, I don't think you'll ever get to go there as a member of the coast guard.
That's the very same thing I always say myself.
My father served under Patton in Africa and Sicily. P cared nothing about his troops.It was always about him
My father had met Patton prewar at a polo club where dad was getting a tour of the stables. Dad had worked at race tracks as a kid and commented onPattons horses. Then Patton appeared. The next time he saw P was in Italy where dad was taking a .

Where are you going general?...
He came back from history to fight for our Democracy and freedom and no SOB that it's away. not even domestic.

My favourite Jerry Goldsmith score, John Williams would quickly surpass him of course but from the 1960-1970 Jerry was at the top of the composer list.
I would say that John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith would try to edge each other out in the late 1970s and early 1980s (Williams with his Star Wars and Superman scores; Goldsmith with his Star Trek: The Motion Picture - especially with his Enterprise score - and the original Poltergeist).
@@rwboa22 Agreed, but I'd say when it comes to recognisability and overall impact, John Williams had more,
Patton read bible every godamn day
I had music playing in the background when this clip came up in the feed. I initially thought it was the Police Academy theme, but it didn't quite fit. Switching over to check, I discovered that I was wrong (and right) at the same time. Decent actor, poor direction, amazing costuming and, apparently, the history was cribbed from an early version of Wikipedia. So, a typical Oscar-worthy American film...
"I have a lot of faults Brad, but ingratitude isn't one of them. Hell, I know I'm a primadonna. I admit it. The thing I can't stand about Montgomery is he WON'T admit it."
I know from history that Patton and Montgomery didn't get along well - their war techniques were very different.
I can no longer tell how much the British and the Americans did or didn't like each other. From online conversations I'd say today's Young Brits don't have much respect for the United States or Americans.
@@HC-cb4yp well look at us young Americans too many cry baby bitches who want there dam bottles instead of working hard I hope to God we never face anything like ww2 cause my generation will never win where too dam soft
George C. Scott is the only actor I know of who could have portrayed Patton. He was practically a force of nature, and Scott captures it in his performance.
Yes -- George C. Scott WAS larger than life. I haven't screened PATTON in 20+ years. But after watching this amazing compilation of scenes accompanied by Goldsmith's score, I plan to see PATTON again!
テリーサバラスとかじゃ駄目？
George C. Scott was the American actor soooo intense, he literally OWNED every scene in which he's ever acted.
Absolutely Love The Music. And George !!!!

@Anne Asgard So was mine, Anne.
He say you are asking the impossible of your men. Yes well, what he doesn't realise is, that's what were in business for.
This music still gives me chills.
Like I always say, that music should be America's new national anthem.
That's because it was brilliantly done by Goldsmith with religious overtones, despite chronicling slaughter and horror of war. Note the church organ sound. That magnificently conveys the reverence that Patton held war, heroism, sacrifice, duty above all...and saw it as pleasing to God for evil to be vanquished.
I get a lump in my throat typing this while listening...and then contemplating our nation's terrible state in modern times.
@@teller1290 The US has its problems. It has had problems before and it will have problems again. My major concern right now is that many people who know war only from TV or movies seem to think that it is a good solution to problems. Even Patton at his craziest or must unpredictable knew better than that.
@@dwrdwlsn5 Depends on the problem. You can't reason with unreasonable people.
I rate Patton as one of the top ten greatest movies ever made.
Its up there certainly
It’s shadowed by apocalypse now and the godfather, but in my opinion it’s Francis Ford Coppolas best
It just became one of my favorite movies ever after rewatching this masterpiece. Definitely a contender for greatest war movie ever made
Obviously a beloved movie and soundtrack. But years after first seeing this I finally realized that few if any of the tanks seen in the movie are even close to historically accurate-hell, the "german" tanks are repainted Americans. There was no way, of course, that they could find an army of left-over German tanks to use in the film, or even historically accurate allied ones, but this movie is screaming for an overdue CGI "fix"! Get me some Shermans and Grants and Tigers, oh my!
What are the other 9?
Absolutely fantastic performance by George C. Scott as Patton. Shame he turned down the oscar. You could just imagine him being the man himself!
It shows you how humble the man was. Any other actor would completely disregard the fact Patton was an opportunity to tell the story of one of America's top heroes. Their motivation to do the film would strictly be: HOW MUCH $$$ THEY WOULD MAKE ??
The Oscars were and always will be overrated.
The low brass counterpoint in this track is amazing. Also I highly encourage everyone to read Patton’s book War as I Knew It
Thanks for pointing out the low bass, and thanks for the book rec! I’ve read several on Patton, but missed that one somehow. It’s on my list now.
Love this music. I wish he had lived.
Love that low brass part too.
You said it! So true! That synocopated lead into the main theme then that fabulous low brass line in counterpoint just makes your heart soar! Goldsmith was so fabulous!
Also, thanks for the book tip!
I read Lt.Gen. U.S.Grant's volumes on the War between the States a few years back. Terrific! He wrote them to leave something to his family just before he died. Great stuff!
Lots we're glad that he didn't, sadly. His memories from both works wars and mexico, combined with his historical grasp, hus Confederate relatives he heard about from his dad, the westward pioneer relatives on his mom's side: truly a unique man, who advanced and over some in life at the highest and most challenging levels with dyslexia, even though no one knew what that was then.
His biography by D'Este is replete with excerpts from letters where he is just torturing himself as being a dummy because he knows something is wrong but doesn't have a clue. His dad knew something was wrong with little George but never was harsh with him, knowing he was destined for greatness...even after he has to repeat first year at West Point! Truly one of a kind that could've only happened in America.
My grandfather’s old commander. My Gramps was 3rd Army. May he and his commander Rest In Peace. God bless them both.
This is cool to hear
Your grampa was a hero. God bless him.
they are both reincarnated. according to Patton.
I got to play the Patton theme in marching band for my senior year! Our show was called Victory (A tribute to the greatest generation). I will forever love this! I also plan to serve in the Coast Guard! God Bless America!
If you are still out there, thanks for choosing to serve. I was in the Army, 1974-77
Jerry Goldsmith - one of the most cool 20 Century's composer (with Morricone and Williams)
Everybody: "Why are movie soundtracks so minimalist nowadays?!"
Jerry Goldsmith: "Haha, soundtrack go *Single fading trumpet riff*"
But nowadays they're just poorly emulating what Goldsmith was doing with mastery barely having anyone to equal it.
Because greatness is equated with $money.
Greed!
Because nowadays film composers are amateur musicians with little or no training. They played guitar in a rock band and then find a friend to get them a film job. Goldsmith, Williams were trained musicians and composers. That's why.
OMG… I am crying because of the beauty of all these selections of musical scores and clips from such great films. I will have to watch them all again.
Jerry had the same skills as John Williams, what most modern composers are lacking is the training that they had.
George C. Scott put in one of the greatest performances of all time in this film. Just brilliant.
"Tell him I don't care to drink with him or any other Russian son of a bitch."
One of my favorite lines.
that homosexual masochist patton and the whole u.s. army would have been kicked all the way to France and down into the Channel if Stalin had ever harboured any idea of initiating a conflict with the "small western allies"...thank your lucky stars the Great Georgian never had the intention to begin with! X-D
@@RealKull ummm brother you do know that US gave the Russians most of its equipment right. Like 100 of millions of tones ammo goods clothing light armor ect all Russia have was man power and was begging the allies for a new front because in fact they started losing after the winter again. So Why all the others were fighting in Europe America was everywhere the pacific Africa Italy France the. Then the First Nation into Germany
@@RealKull Russians would have held firm for maybe a month then their lines would collapse all the way back to Moscow.
@@RealKull patton was right about fighting another. Another war against an ally when American public was tired. Just give Ukraine what they need and they will take care of the problem. Better late than never.
@@RealKull haha sure. The US was only the biggest industrial force in the world by the end of the war and it wasn't even remotely close (if I remember correctly they were out-producing Germany, Britain, Japan, and Russia combined), and they still had a military of 12 million men while Russia was nearly spent
Grandpa fought with Patton in Africa and then with the Third Army as they rolled through France… he was an Armored Infantry Company Commander in the 4th Armored Division. Patton pinned the Silver Star on him. He said he didn’t like Patton as person, but respected the hell out of his ability to plan and kill Germans.
May God our Lord bless your grandfather, thanks to him today we live in a free world, he was a hero. May God bless your family. Never forget.
And that's what is one of the main problems today, we seem to think we need to like someone to respect them.
Hey-that's áll that really counts;"Am I prepared to give my life for this commanderen?"
All true great generals like Model von Manstein Zhukov Heinrici von Manteuffel Bittrich BRADLEY(!) and HAUSSER(!)-were trusted by their men.
This is the spirit America 🇺🇸 needs today.
That is true, but the reasons why today aren't as clear to many as the circumstances then.
It was resisted then, and it is still resisted now.

Loyalty, honor and duty do not matter to many Americans today if they ever did at all. There are those, however, who remember.
@@theinvisibleman2070lol But of course not. It is not like we have a world wide war going on no matter how many people dream of it and demand it.
Love him or hate him, Patton was a soldier who had a sense of honor. Silly things like Duty, Honor and Country mean NOTHING in the modern US. Far less dumb things like loyalty or actually wanting to make things better for anyone except the rich and powerful.
Sometimes you have to slap some sense into people.
That incident, even for General Patton was a rare mistake. He and the MD's of the day weren't aware of PTSD. He made it right though, NOT because he was ordered to but because it was right to do so.
Truer these days than in my whole life.
@@InquisitorMatthewAshcraft The men didn't have PTSD though. One had a fever, and the other had the flu. Pretty sure Patton didn't know that at the time, otherwise he wouldn't have slapped them.
Americans love a winner.
That would explain why everybody hates Hillary. If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand.

A true American hero. "Old Blood 'n Guts" himself.

@@SvenTviking I hate the way you speak *so much.*
What about the criticism that the Russians didn't leave much of the German army for Patton to fight? The idea being that the Russians beat the Germans and the Americans beat the Japanese...?
All of the weather in the film was real. An astounding bit of filmmaking. Also, the entire movie was shot through the camera, there are no opticals in the film, other than the titles.
One of the most Outstanding movies of all time.
When I am down I play the Pattpn theme song and it restores my soul. I was always afraid of public speaking, I would play it in my mind before a engagement. It gave me self confidence.
I have read people also use the Ric Flair assualt of life promo.
This soundtrack inspires me to join the army, i will go to the nearest recruit station

Forget it, Marge, it's Chinatown!!!
I was a freshman in high school when Patton came out. One of my top 5 movies of all time. I was in the band and our band director obtained the sheet music to the soundtrack. It was always my favorite piece. We had a really great piccolo player and every time we played the piece, she nailed it. We were playing it before the “Aggie” band even thought about playing it.
Imagine if they made a film on fellow legendary general Matthew Ridgway (though Hollywood's too pansy probably because he kicked China's *ss in Korea). I wonder what his theme would sound like. Probably something dramatic and stirring, knowing how insanely bold he was.
I was a 6-year-old when "Patton" was released in 1970. I was raised in a family in which both of my parents were former U.S. Navy officers and World War II veterans. While I could not fully understand all of the implications and historical nuances of the movie at that age, I was awestruck by the movie in an era when American students were protesting the Vietnam War in the streets of major cities. The main title theme was the first song I ever learned to whistle, and I still find myself whistling it from time to time 50 years later. Fantastic piece of music.
I truly believe Goldsmith was inspired by this fabulous Man to write such amazing music! Patton was a God of War! Yet, his enemy obliterated, he treated them decently. This Man's story is fabulous! Great, great music. I love the bass horn lines!
I believe Patton would have approved of Jerry Goldsmith’s energy-building theme as representative of his relentlessness and penchant for victory! I get chills every tie I hear it...
Goldsmith at his finest. Among the great Hollywood composers he stands out as almost unique in just how varied his work is. John William's is unquestionably the MAestro. But you know instantly you are listening to a John William's score. His fingerprints are so heavy on it. Jerry's best works sneak up on you. You find yourself going "damn that was one of his? And that too? They don't sound anything like Star Trek!" Goldsmith was a wonderful stylistic chameleon from Patton to Chinatown to Star Trek to Aliens and on.
Even John Williams acknowledged that Jerry was "The Golden Boy." Goldsmith could do it all, and his thematically synergetic approach to scoring movies made much more sense than the leitmotivic/patchwork quilt-like approach of Steiner, Korngold, and JW.
Don't forget "Rudy."
He was a chameleon to quote John Williams himself "Jerry's music was special, his music had a freshness and he had a freshness"
What made Goldsmith so extraordinary was that unlike so many cinematic composers, to my since no two Jerry Goldsmith scores sounded alike.
This film is truly timeless, saw it for the first time last night, incredible! One of the best ever made! And this soundtrack, WOW. They sure don't make films like these anymore.
Patton was world War 2 greatest General, the Germans feared his brilliant strategies..He believed in God and the Bible that's why he was so great.....
One of those iconic movie themes along side The Magnificent Seven & The Great Escape . I'll never get tired of listening to this . Such inspiration & grandeur. I love it! 💙💙💙💙
Great choices! It's interesting how almost all of the best themes from films were accompanied by great filmkaing- Lawrence of Arabia, How the West Was Won, The Godfather- it's as if the story inspired the composer, and the music inspird the directors and actors. I fact, I can't think of a single great theme which was not also a great film.-
Elmer Bernstein and Jerry Goldsmith wrote some great themes.
Aww, the great escape is my all time favorite movie. Followed by Kelly's Heroes.
Also, Where Eagles Dare
My glorious mother was in many ways (secretly, and in private) a big kid full of wonder and excitement, especially when it concerned movies. She took me to see True Grit, The Wizard Of Oz when it was re released for theaters in the the late 60s, Gone With The Wind, Fiddler On The Roof, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and many others, sometimes letting me stay home from school to do so. Sitting in the big, grand old style movie theaters, (usually during the matinee showings), eating popcorn, Jordan Almonds and Milk Duds and immersed in another world far from our middle class, suburban 60s everyday reality. She took me to see Patton when it came out and I'll never forget the opening monologue and the giant American flag as a backdrop. It astounded me even as a child. I still love movies of all kinds from all eras and subjects. They don't make movies like they used to. Thanks mom - I miss you and think of you every time I watch a really good movie💝🇺🇸
Ditto!! My father would take me and I remember before seeing 'Birdman of Alcatraz'
w/ Burt Lancaster, at the Coral Theatre in Oak Lawn, IL
Popcorn, drinks, Milk Duds, Raisenettes,& Spearmint Leaves in hand... My father stated to me, " This is an Important film!"
Great theme. One of the best forever!
A great tribute to the man, the myth and the legend. Only George Scott could have performed him. He is one the greatest, if not one the greatest generals and military minds of the 20th Century up there with the likes of Eisenhower, Montgomery, Nimitz and McArthur and even Rommel and Zuchkov So glad he was on on side. His men either loved him or hated him. But he always led from the front like any commander should and he was admired for that by the men who served with him and for him even though they would never admit it.
And, if you listen very carefully, this piece of music is the exact same one that's used in the beginning of The Star Spangled Banner As You Never Heard It.
Concordo su tutto tranne che su Montgomery, un pessimo comandante che gli inglesi hanno mitizzato per far dimenticare i suoi fallimenti
Nice selection of film cuts to go with the music.
A great movie. Read up on the real history. A great role for George C Scott. Maybe his best.
Marvelous edit. I hold Patton and T.E. Lawrence at the same level of highest esteem.
Both warriors of a rare kind. A different kind that don’t appear many times throughout history, but when they do, are truly and simply brave like something else
"Rommel, your magnificent bastard I READ YOUR BOOK!!" - Patton

Last night I had the most wonderful dream. Every Hans Zimmer score was replaced by Jerry Goldsmith. And the Lord saw that it was good.
Great dream Jerry and Morricone are composing the angel up in heaven
Total recall is still my favorite
Jerry Goldsmith is 100x the composer Zimmer ever could be.
Love that, I did like the Dark Knight tho
Okay, no need to be hatin' on Zimmer. His only real fault is not being as good as Jerry Goldsmith. And who can blame him for that?
My father was in the 6th Armored Division, fought at the battle of the bulge.
One of Jerry Goldsmith's best movie. If you listen carefully, some parts of it is similar to the theme used in the Police Academy movies; similar to the revised use of the opening theme to Star Trek: The Motion Picture as the "Enterprise" theme heard when Adm. Kirk & Cmdr. Scott inspected the refitted Enterprise in Spacedock.
Its too bad that during World War II Gen. Patton never faced Germany's Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in combat. Who would've won that one?
I always thought John Williams lovingly spoofed this one a bit in his “1941” score.
He never faced Rommel, but he did face against Rommels officers and his tactics.
Listen carefully lol, it pretty much screams out. I was just about to comment how the Police Academy theme is such an obvious rip off of this. Not only in melody and rhythm, but even structure too.
Patton did respect Rommel's techniques, even though he was the enemy. Patton used to say, "Rommel, you magnificent bastard!"
Not to mention that Jerry himself said that Franklin J Schaffner was the best director he ever worked, Schaffner only needed to tell him with two words what the music needed to be and wouldn't need to say anymore until the scoring sessions.
George C. Scott gave one of the greatest performances ever. I saw the movie when it first came out,and I've probably watched it at least 25 times.
This is not just a musical work. -It is also a religious holy mass! - Patton was a giant - and an asshole! - But George Patton was also the greatest cowboy of World War II ! - And: He was also one of the greatest generals in world history of his time! - George Patton, was and is - an original Patton! - He defeated Nazi Germany - But, he also became a military general - a model for a defensive Europe - and for a defensive, new Germany. George Patton is the steel and the iron for the new German Bundeswehr - and for the new world order after the Second World War. A great military man - but also: an egocentric personality. George Patton. He embodies many general stars of America! -
Gen. Patton was certainly an interesting, complex, high-energy character. There's no question about that.
But weren't the Germans already a bit beat up from the Russians? Just asking.
Naturally. - But where did the new strength of this Stalin's Russia come from? It came from the USA. - And where did the new strength of the new West German Federal Republic of Germany come from? It came from our own efforts - with great help from the USA.@@HC-cb4yp
George C. Scott superb performance with a superb music too.
I remember seeing Patton in 70 mm. Great movie and great tribute.
Please don't forget "Malena", that would be great.
If there's still a 70mm print out there, I really hope they use it to make a 4K Blu-ray.
The most amazing thing about this movie is that it managed to successfully glorify war during the most contentious period of the anti-Vietnam War movement. .... It's a challenging and still relevant film that remains timely since another great war is on the horizon. Future historians are likely to cite the Russian invasion of Ukraine as the start of WWIII.
its not war that was glorified, it was heroism in the face of evil. Calling that "war glorification" is socialist demoralization you have internalized. War doesn't need to be glorified and never was. People are glorified, and victory is glorious, to say that is also war glorification is again displacing where the virtue actually is.
Its like saying having a party for someone you love with cancer going into remission is "glorifying cancer".
Celebrating those that delivered us from evil through force of arms is not celebrating "force of arms".
In fact, the only movies that actually "glorify war" are any movies that shy away from wars reality. Because if you show any well adjusted human, the TRUTH of war, they aren't lead to believe its an adventure. Saving Private Ryan comes to mind as an example of a movie that doesn't shy away.
Almost every vietnam film fails to do this because ALLLLLLLLLL of them shoehorn a pro-NVA pro-commie line that undermines any realworld attempt to be a timeless indictment of war and instead dates them to be political propaganda of their time: Apocalypse Now, Platoon, and The Thin Red Line are case-in-point examples of this.
The theme for Police Academy totally ripped off the Patton themes main motif.
God Bless Jerry Goldsmith, this theme is a marsterpiece.
Best movie I ever saw, God bless General Patton.
Great theme music and amazing movie !

I always laugh when the three kids salute Patton and he salutes them back.😂 It's scenes like that which make this movie great. This actually could've been a very dark and disturbing film but the jokes help deal with the serious nature of the plot.
It humanises the man.
To me one of the Greatest war movie of the 70 s a Masterpiece!!! George C Scott a great actor!!! A French Man ...
Thought this sounded familiar. This piece plays in the line at Soarin over California ride at Disneyland
"We're gonna grab'em by the nose and kick'em in the ass!"
I just realized the 2003 Teen Titans show referenced Patton's soundtrack. The episode "Revolution" uses a similar falling horn in the soundtrack in the scenes where the Titans are squaring off against the tin soldiers.
Fun shoutout!
Holy shit you're right
Man, could we use a General George S. Patton, Jr., now!!!!!
One of the best movie soundtracks by a legend.
I would give up a body part to see this movie in a proper 70mm screening again.
Patton was right.
My great Uncle George fought for Patton. He hated him, lol. Great movie though.
HAPPY VETERANS DAY!!
Back in the day when Hollywood could make good movies and writers knew how to write them.
Back in the day when leftist propaganda was out of Hollywood
Back when everything wasn’t so perfect ???
You mean Hollywood Propaganda
Back when movie makers didn't have to cower in terror at the slightest hint of Twitter Backlash
Francis Coppola wrote it. He got the Oscar for it while he was directing (and writing) The Godfather.
I had the opportunity to see this on the big screen in 1970 when the movie was released. The movie was that good I remember it as if it was just yesterday.
Lucky, one of my favourite war movies in no small part due to Jerry Goldsmith's excellent music.
Brilliant score by Jerry Goldsmith.
Jerry Goldsmith said that the trumpets that we hear in the theme, which come back again and again, evoke the ancient battles in which Patton would have participated. Indeed, he believed in reincarnation and had been a Roman legionnaire fighting against Carthage 2000 years ago.
It's a great effect, I love how Ron Jones decided to use the same sound for a cue in Star Trek TNG.
Patton was a force to be reckoned with. To bad THEY took him out. You know why? They were afraid of him.
Um maravilhoso filme, que mistura heroísmo, tenacidade e coragem, desafiando os limites humanos. Tudo isso embalado por um tema musical de beleza inigualável. Produção premiada merecidamente!
僕は日本人だけど、ラストの演説シーンを観て感動した！
映像の残念なところは、ドイツ軍戦車がなにも改造していないアメリカの戦車だったことだけ。
Gran actor, gran película. En cuanto al personaje, well, un cabron con pelotas que sabía de que iba la cosa y además culto. El viejo George Patton, el mejor mando en el frente occidental.
