Millions of people know General Patton’s voice. It was never actually his. When "Patton" premiered in 1970, George C. Scott’s thunderous performance permanently shaped the way the world imagined "Old Blood and Guts." Scott spoke with a deep, granite-edged growl. The real Patton had a surprisingly high-pitched, nasal voice, something he reportedly disliked intensely. But Scott captured another detail with remarkable accuracy: Patton’s carefully cultivated "war face". Dissatisfied with his naturally mild expression, Patton practiced before a mirror until he had perfected the hard stare and menacing scowl he wanted his soldiers to see. The voice belonged to Scott. The face belonged to Patton. Even the film’s legendary opening speech never occurred exactly as shown. It was assembled from remarks Patton delivered to different units before D-Day, with some of his profanity softened. The heavily decorated four-star uniform also belongs more to the legend than to any single historical moment. Yet the scene captures something profoundly true. Patton consciously turned command into theater. The polished helmet, ivory-handled revolvers, immaculate uniform, profanity, rehearsed speeches - and even his expression - were parts of a warrior persona designed to inspire his soldiers and intimidate everyone else. The film simply completed what Patton had begun during his lifetime. It did not merely portray George S. Patton. It transformed him into Patton! Follow for more "Old Blood and Guts" stories!
