Doesn't make the former bad or accords respect to the latter two they don't deserve.It's the way the ball bounces. #TCMParty #Patton

That's a matter of opinion to be sure. Before that night, I couldn't hum a few bars of Patton's score, much less tell you what key it was in or anything - even it was used in other media but I can do that for the Theme for Love Story and Chariots of Fire. #TCMParty #Patton

He sacrificed continuity for character. And you're right. It worked. #TCMParty #Patton

Well, #Patton is about the man at war, not his private life. His wife rates a mention about letters, that’s it. #tcmparty

Did he die as a result of that accident? #Patton #TCMParty. Made me think of Lawrence of Arabia & dying from a motorcycle accident.

Of course, the Ox Cart did get him. Broke his neck. George C Scott did come back to make a TV movie about the death of #Patton a few years later. The closing scene implies to time of year, December 1945.

All is fair in Love and War. 😉 Love Story was a big deal. The public was tired from the Vietnam War. They wanted a love story. #Patton #TCMParty. IMO anyway.

Wow. This is an eye opener. How did she get left out of this epic film? Because the historians didn't buy into the affair? #TCMParty #Patton

It's hard to believe that by the time #Patton premiered, he had passed away. He didn't look anyway healthy. #TCMParty

James Edwards! I loved him so much in his bit part in THE KILLING. #Patton #TCMParty

Funny little coincidence—Drumlin Farm, the estate outside Boston where Jean Gordon grew up, and where my grandmother’s family lived in the servant’s house (a very nice place), is bounded by Codman Road. Patton’s obsequious aide was named Codman, and was from Boston. #Patton #tcmparty

After Patton died, Jean Gordon committed suicide. As my grandmother said, “She put her head in the oven.” Some hsitorians dispute if Gordon and Patton had a physical relationship, but her love for him was indisputable. #Patton #tcmparty en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Gordon_%28Red_...

As I’ve probably mentioned before, my grandmother’s best childhood friend, Jean Gordon, was Patton’s niece and lover. My grandmother’s (also names Jean) father, Duncan Chapman, was the chauffeur (and some say lover) of Jean Gordon’s mother, Louise Raynor Gordon, later Hathaway. #Patton #tcmparty

Real Patton Speech
Real Patton Speech YouTube video by J W

Here's a snippet of a speech Patton gave in Los Angeles, following Nazi Germany's surrender for reference in June 1945:

I wholeheartedly agree. Malden's Omar Bradley works as an effective foil to the jingoistic Patton. I'm surprised he was overlooked. #Patton #TCMParty

IRL, Patton had a very high pitched, nasal voice. One reason he used such coarse language was to compensate for his high pitch. I wish someone would redub #Patton with an accurate voice. I think it would be revelatory. #tcmparty

Hot take: Malden deserved an Oscar nomination as well.

"l'audace, l'audace, toujours l'audace"

"Audacity, Audacity, Always Audacity"

Basically, always attack, always provoke, be unpredictable. The movie messed up the real quote, but it fits.

A memorable song is not superior to an outstanding score.

Well which song is still heard now where most people can recognize it from the first few bars? Which one was given a whole new life when it was used as the Free Skate music for the Canadian Pairs team that "won" gold at the 2002 Winter Olympics? Not #Patton. #OscarsGoToWar
