CLASSICS: Patton

20th Century Fox

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. 

Brandon Davis is the host of Classics and Zone-i-Sodes on the Front Row Network. A true fan of cinema history, Brandon holds the distinction of being the official film historian of the Network.
