Product Description
One of the most heroic and inspirational leaders of World War II, General George S. Patton (George C. Scott) is seriously injured in a car accident just a few weeks after the end of the war and is not expected to survive. "The Last Days of Patton" tells the story of these last few months of the General's life and the Army Medical Corps efforts to save him. As he lies immobile in a hospital bed, surrounded by the pessimistic doctors and his worried wife, he waits for death and reminisces about his happy, younger days. Intermixed with flashbacks, the film shows Patton's earlier career as a fledging tank commander (Ron Berglas), during the First World War.

This is an interesting film, it needs to be viewed after seeing the original "Patton" film, as it's a continuation of that one. Fortunately they cast George C. Scott in the title role again, otherwise it wouldn't have worked. Being based on fact makes it more interesting, as I suspect a lot of people wouldn't be aware of how he ended, and the irony of his demise at the very end of the war. Well worth seeing.

I had given up on ever obtaining this title, having enjoyed immensely the performence of Scott in Patton, his performance in this film was absolutely rivetting, and was as worthy of an oscar as the first film. Thoroughly recommend.

Be careful re. this one as picture quality is no where near as good as what we have come to expect from dvds ie. not really crisp and sharp, with annoyingly, distorted wording on the final credits: certainly, not what one might expect from the Hollywood Movie makers!
As far as the film is concerned, it is a bit of an anti-climax after the film 'Patton' itself. Also, George Scott seems a little older and not so much as strong willed and assertive as he was in the first film.

Nevertheless, it is fair to say that this film is extremely cheap even when mailed from the USA, so you can hardly complain.

Patton's last days
I must admit bias from the beginning. George S Patton ranks as a bit of a hero and George C Scott is an actor I admire. Read more

The Last Days Of Patton
The quality of the reproduction of the film was extremely poor, and more like a pirated copy.

An update on the film "Patton"
This film tells the story of his final days. There is another film that gives a different version of how he was injured and died. Interesting.

nice try
A good attempt, but it ignores his equestrian feats at the 1912 Olympics, his extensive vacations in the bocage country of Normandy in the 1920ies and his dyslexia that reduced his... Read more
