CLASSICS: Patton

NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS | By Eric Flick

Published March 3, 2021 at 3:28 PM CST

Front Row Classics begins March with one of the greatest biopics to ever come from Hollywood, Patton. Jay Hoffman, from Front Row Flashbacks, joins Brandon and Eric to break down the Best Picture winner from 1970. Jay's military experience adds a special element to the discussion. The hosts break down the career-defining performance of George C. Scott as the legendary general. They also touch on the many scenes and dialogue that make this film a standout among other standard Hollywood biopics.
