Releasing to critical acclaim, this film took home seven Academy Awards, including Best Actor (George C. Scott), and
Best Director (Franklin J. Schaffner).

It’s widely considered one of George C. Scott’s best performances, and he definitely storms his way through the film. But is the portrayal of General Patton historically accurate? And did we love it or hate it?
