Wikipedia
Patton is a 1970 American epic biographical war film about U.S. General George S. Patton during World War II. It stars George C. Scott, Karl Malden, Michael Bates and Karl Michael Vogler. It was directed by Franklin J. Schaffner from a script by Francis Ford Coppola and Edmund H. North, who based their screenplay on the biography Patton: Ordeal and Triumph by Ladislas Farago and Omar Bradley's memoir A Soldier's Story. The film was shot in 65mm Dimension 150 by cinematographer Fred J. Koenekamp and has a music score by Jerry Goldsmith.
Patton won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay. Scott won Best Actor for his portrayal of General Patton, but declined to accept the award.
The opening monologue, delivered by George C. Scott as General Patton with an enormous American flag behind him, remains an iconic and often quoted image in film. The film was successful, and in 2003, Patton was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". The Academy Film Archive preserved Patton in 2003.
George S. Patton (1885–1945) was a U.S. Army general during World War II.
Patton may also refer to:
Patton was a hundred of Shropshire, England. Formed during Anglo-Saxon England, it encompassed manors in eastern central Shropshire, and was amalgamated during the reign of Henry I (1100 to 1135) with the neighbouring hundred of Culvestan to form the Munslow hundred.
It included the upper Corvedale and the well-populated manors of Wenlock, Stoke and Ditton. The original folkmoot place, which gave its name to the hundred, was Patton, a manor recorded as being part of the hundred in the 1086 Domesday Book.
Patton is written in the Domesday Book variously as Patinton(e) or Patintun(e).
Usage examples of "patton".
But Rodgers was a charter member of the George Patton School of Diplomacy: kick their ass first, then negotiate with your foot on their neck.
Doray was jealous of Patton all the time Patton was in Cloverdale, and that Doray came to this city, not to rescue Marjorie, but to kill Patton.
She talked mostly about Cloverdale and about the predicament she was in on account of Frank Patton.
Patton had taken over the handful of eateries in town and incorporated them into his commissary department.

Since arriving in Bad Toelz in late May, Patton had taken his daily equitation in the company of his groom, one Baron von Wangenheim.
And if Patton insisted on holding him away much longer, he'd damn well take French leave and head into town on his own.
Like Patton, von Wangenheim was an Olympian, winner of a gold medal in dressage at the 1936 games in Berlin.
He stalked from one end of the clearing to the other, doing his Patton imitation: badgering, cajoling, screaming, shaking his fist in the faces of the goldbrickers, joshing, berating, threatening.
Barak wasted no more words on the Skyhawks, and the meeting ended with sparring about ammunition replenishment and parts for Patton tanks, during which Halliday was silent and Pearson vague.
His oath to Patton is also suspect because, with the war's end, the tanks were given to the infantry, and Custer, rather than go with them, chose to return to the horse cavalry.
But Clay was thinking of Patton French in New York, in the room full of big shots from Ackerman Labs, barking and bullying, very much in control.
He was due to have a serious talk with General George Patton about the wonders of reactive armor and the need to make some drastic changes to the thirty-one-ton mobile crematorium known hereabouts as the Sherman tank.
Lament an aesthetic that didn't engage itself enough to leave more classic roles for our edification, that turned down Patton, Thornton.
Evidently, the popular tactic was to round up as many cases as possible, then tag team with Patton French who'd be happy to include them in his own personal class action in his backyard over in Mississippi, where the judges and juries and verdicts always went his way and the manufacturer was terrified to set foot.
