This week, Rob and Duncan are marching through Europe, led by a certifiable madman. It's Patton! Franklin J. Shaffner's 1970 film (from a Francis Ford Coppola script) won George C. Scott an Oscar for his portrayal of the WWII general (an Oscar that he turned down) but how much did Richard Nixon like this film? How much did Patton hate Montie? And, finally, have be arrived at the operation that changed the course of the war??
Presented by Robert Hutton and Duncan Weldon.
