Something that interests me about the movie - which by the way I think is great - is that now, to most people (including me!) George C Scott IS Patton. When I read Patton's words, I 'hear' Scott's low, gravelly growl whereas, by all accounts, Patton himself had an uncharacteristically high-pitched voice. A woman ( I forget who ) met him during the war and called it 'the most disappointing voice in history'.
