Customer Reviews:
The Worst Thing I Ever Saw.......2007-01-25
This film is not worth the shipping and handling. George C. Scott gives a fabulous performance of a simply miserable script. The production values rival a poor film school project. The supplementary characters are obtuse and poorly developed; Patton's wife is both whiny and soporific. If you're a fan of the original, then you'll hate this. If you crave a "Lifetime Original," then I suggest this movie.
Present for Dad.......2007-01-19
I can't say I actually watched this movie. I bought it as a present for my Dad for Christmas this year. He was featured as an extra in the movie. At the time, he was stationed at RAF Mildenhall, UK in the U.S. Air Force. I was just a baby when this film was shot, so it was nice to find the part where he was featured, pause it, and look in awe that he was actually on screen!
The Last Days of Patton.......2007-01-09
I found this movie very disappointing. I guess after Patton anything else would be hard to compare. That said, I had high hopes given the fact that I enjoyed the original so much. I did not even get half way through it before becoming bored with the plot. Stick with the original, you will not be sorry.
Patton lucky to have George C. Scott play him!.......2006-12-11
Interesting sequel to the movie Patton, but this is not a war film, it is a drama. Patton wrestles with how to handle post-war Bavaria: Should he exclude Nazis from the new government, or should he include them to speed rebuilding? Should he allow SS members to continue to train in the prison camps? He clashes with Ike, and frets over not having men to lead in battle.
Life after the German surrender was nothing but worsening problems for the general, what with his chafing at running a bureaucracy, his stripping of authority by Ike, and finally on the day before he was to ship home, getting into a freak accident that broke his neck and paralyzed him.
I'm not sure some of the critics of this film appreciate how well Scott does with a tremendous challenge of depicting a physically dead man from the neck down, a man who once moved armies in one of the most important times in modern history, now bedridden and suspecting he faces death despite his doctors' forced cheer. It is touching to see his wife scramble to his side to comfort him and read him books, and disconcerting to know that her niece appears to be having an illicit affair with her own uncle-by-marriage.
This is a dark film, as it watches Patton's wife struggle with her husband's rather brave acceptance that he is transitioning towards death, and find bravery within herself as well.
Finally, as my husband observes, the best thing that happened to Patton was having George C. Scott play him on film -- talk about a posthumous career boost!
This release-- very poor transfer to DVD.......2006-08-17
Just popped this DVD in, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it as I love Patton's history and from what I can see right now, Goerge C. Scott is in the same form he was for the major theater predecessor.
This release from Brentwood is indeed a very poor transfer as other reviewers mentioned before me. I notice there is what appears to be a more recent release for a slightly higher price-- perhaps it is better.
In this case, at $3.99 I'm not going to complain.

Description
Film depicts the aging General's autumn years as a controversial ex-Nazi defender and desk-bound World War II historian. Following the close of World War II, General George S. Patton is seriously injured in a car accident and not expected to survive. "The Last Days of Patton" tells the story of these last few months of the General's life and the Army Medical Corps efforts to save him. Intermixed with flashbacks, the film also shows Patton's earlier career as a fledging tank commander during the First World War. Scott reprises his feature-film role.

Patton is my hero...!.......2006-07-24
After watching the first movie about Gen. Patton called PATTON, I began to read war stories about his exploits in licking the jackboot clicking Hitler and his Nazi army. General George S. Patton was every inch a soldier, too bad he didn't lived long enough to fight and subdue the muderous Jap invaders in the Pacific...!
I also read the book, The Last Days of Patton and had watched this minseries on TV. I owned a video. Now I'd just ordered the DVD version. The actor, George C. Scott, appeared tough, profane, aggressive but compassionate - a good and worthy counter part of Patton! However, Scott refused the Oscar for his role in Patton. It was sad that Gen. Patton had to die in this manner - not by the last bullet but by a seemingly foolish accident. Or was it a conspiracy to get rid of this brave and outspoken general, since he couldn't get along with Eisenhower and his hatchet man - Beetle...? Like the movie, Patton, the Last Days of Patton, made initially for TV, remains a classic and ought to be on the shelf of all discriminate viewers. Thanks and happy viewing...
DVD and Product Review.......2006-02-17
The "must have" companion to "Patton." George C. Scott reprises his role with the same insight and depth of portrayal that won him the Oscar for "Patton." The DVD version is excellent, and arrived exactly when promised.

It's a Made For TV Movie.......2005-02-13
I just watched this DVD last night. The best thing about it is that George C. Scott is again playing General Patton. This movie was made in 1986 and Scott looks older and less energetic than he did in 1970. There is no battle action. The drama consists mostly of political and inter-personal reactions to the Generals opinions and ideas concerning the defeated Germans and the Russians, both of which were noted in the movie "Patton." Of historical interest, the accident that lead to his death and his hospitalization afterwards are depicted in detail.

Patton lucky to have George C. Scott play him!.......2006-12-11
Interesting sequel to the movie Patton, but this is not a war film, it is a drama. Patton wrestles with how to handle post-war Bavaria: Should he exclude Nazis from the new government, or should he include them to speed rebuilding? Should he allow SS members to continue to train in the prison camps? He clashes with Ike, and frets over not having men to lead in battle.
Life after the German surrender was nothing but worsening problems for the general, what with his chafing at running a bureaucracy, his stripping of authority by Ike, and finally on the day before he was to ship home, getting into a freak accident that broke his neck and paralyzed him.
I'm not sure some of the critics of this film appreciate how well Scott does with a tremendous challenge of depicting a physically dead man from the neck down, a man who once moved armies in one of the most important times in modern history, now bedridden and suspecting he faces death despite his doctors' forced cheer. It is touching to see his wife scramble to his side to comfort him and read him books, and disconcerting to know that her niece appears to be having an illicit affair with her own uncle-by-marriage.
This is a dark film, as it watches Patton's wife struggle with her husband's rather brave acceptance that he is transitioning towards death, and find bravery within herself as well.
Finally, as my husband observes, the best thing that happened to Patton was having George C. Scott play him on film -- talk about a posthumous career boost!
This release-- very poor transfer to DVD.......2006-08-17
Just popped this DVD in, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it as I love Patton's history and from what I can see right now, Goerge C. Scott is in the same form he was for the major theater predecessor.
This release from Brentwood is indeed a very poor transfer as other reviewers mentioned before me. I notice there is what appears to be a more recent release for a slightly higher price-- perhaps it is better.
In this case, at $3.99 I'm not going to complain.

Great Story-Bad Reproduction.......2007-02-28
Good sequal to "Patton". Worthy addition to the original. The quality of the dvd however leaves alot to be desired. My copy looks like a copy made from a VHS tape. But, for 1 cent & shipping I guess I can't complain.
