Patton: Lust for Glory

BBC One
on BBC One London

Screen biography starring George C Scott, Karl Malden

"All real Americans love the sting of battle." Such was the belief of General George S Patton, one of the greatest and most controversial military leaders of the Second World War, a man dedicated to war and the need to win.
In this highly acclaimed epic, co-written by Francis Ford Coppola, George C Scott plays Patton, a part for which he was awarded - and refused - an Oscar. The film received six other Oscars.
