En 1943, le général Patton est envoyé à Tunis afin de reprendre une situation difficile, l'armée US ayant du mal à prendre le pas sur l'Africa Korps nazi. Il enchaîne les succès mais refuse de laisser les lauriers de sa victoire au maréchal Montgomery, des forces armées britanniques. Il est alors relevé de son commandement et va attendre plusieurs mois avant de se retrouver à la tête d'une division. (texte officiel du distributeur)

An absolutely superb wartime epic that captivates with stunning sets and George Scott as the controversial but capable General Patton, the mastermind behind the successful American campaign into the heart of Hitler's Berlin. For this role, Scott got an Oscar that he refused to accept. The film garnered six more golden statuettes, including motion picture and direction. It was shot in 70 mm panoramic format, in the cinema is 6*, on DVD 5*, and on the telly 4*.

Spread out war fresco about a personality that is definitely worth attention. Unfortunately, it really came across as long and actually not that interesting. If it wasn't for George C. Scott - who not only refused to accept the nomination but also the Oscar for his great role - then the film wouldn't really entertain me. Like this, there are interesting scenes here that are not so much about the war itself, but about the person and their place in the world. Patton's perspective is intriguing.
