Patton

I watched Patton the other night and thought if I commented on it that I might be able to get the music from the movie out of my head.

The movie won 6 Academy Awards and had 4 stars. You had George C. Scott, Karl Malden, the original music score by Jerry Goldsmith and the writing - which was done by Hollywood veteran Edmund North and relative newcomer Francis Ford Coppola. In fact - in the character of Patton you can see sure signs of Vito, Sonny and Michael. Mostly Sonny but definitely no Fredo.

It is interesting to note that George C. Scott won the Academy Award as best actor for his performance but refused to accept a trophy (he didn't even attend the ceremony) because he didn't feel like he was competing with the other actors.
