I wrote the script of Patton. I had this very bizarre opening where he stands up in front of an American flag and gives this speech. Ultimately, I was fired. When the script was done, they hired another writer and that script was forgotten.
Francis Ford Coppola
In 1969, at the age of 19, I was lucky enough to work with George C. Scott in the definitive portrayal of his career over a period of many months and several countries on the definitive film version of Patton's WWII career.
Edward Albert
Mike Patton is a genius... It is definitely the hardest music I've ever played.
Dave Lombardo
Patton was living in the Dark Ages. Soldiers were peasants to him. I didn't like that attitude.
Bill Mauldin
The stuff that I got in trouble for, the casting for The Godfather or the flag scene in Patton, was the stuff that was remembered, and was considered the good work.
Francis Ford Coppola
There are scenes here and effects here that would make George S. Patton wince.
