"Patton" is a 1970 movie all about U.S. Gen. George S. Patton, who gained everlasting fame during World War II. The well-received film helped to cement Patton's legacy.

1. Patton is already there
   A concentration camp
2. A pile of bodies

The British general believes that he has heroically liberated Messina, but as he reaches the city center, he realizes that the smirking Patton has done an end-around and already beaten him there.

1. Patton is giving a speech.
   Patton is hacking a wooden door to pieces.
2. Patton is attacking the enemy.

The movie's opening scene finds Patton giving a rousing speech to a group of soldiers that we never see. It's one of the most famous monologues in Hollywood history.

1. George C. Scott
   Harrison Ford
2. Lyndon B. Johnson

George C. Scott received unanimous critical acclaim for his performance and then turned down an Academy Award due to philosophical differences.

1. In a car accident
   Hitler had him assassinated.
2. He drank himself to death.

Just a few months after the war, Patton died following a car accident. It was perhaps a fitting end for a man who felt that his real purpose was to fight a war that was over.

1. Administrative
   Support duty
2. Latrine duty

Eisenhower decides that Montgomery's cautious invasion plan is best. Then, to Patton's dismay, Eisenhower places Patton at the rear in support of Montgomery's units.

1. Libyan terrorists
   Outnumbered troops
2. Lack of air support

Patton insists that lack of air cover was to blame for the American defeat. The British commander promises that his planes will step up their effort and moments later, a Nazi plane swoops over the camp.

1. Patton promptly has half of his men put in handcuffs.
   Patton succeeds brilliantly.
2. Patton is killed by a sniper's bullet.

Patton has no intention of letting another opportunity slip through his fingers. He summons his battlefield prowess and sends the Germans reeling, liberating parts of Europe faster than any other Allied commander.

1. He dismisses them as lightweights.
   He teases and belittles them.
2. He respects them.

He understands that the Nazis are formidable enemies and he treats them as such.

1. Artillery
   Tanks
2. Armored balloons

The general is best known for his battlefield coordination of tank units. His armored columns have become a potent Allied force against the Nazis and other Axis countries.

1. They run out of fuel.
   They are all destroyed.
2. Patton's men decide to take a break.

Patton's tanks are overrunning Geman positions all along the front. But then they run out of fuel because his fuel supply has been diverted to his rival, Bernard Montgomery.

1. All the soldiers are dead.
   They've just been humiliated in battle.
2. They are about to go to war.

The general is espousing the virtues of courage and honor as his men prepare to go to war. In Patton's mind, war is a great adventure, both for him and for his men.

1. Not highly intelligent
   Borderline arrogant
2. Incredibly indifferent

Like Patton, Montgomery has a huge ego, and he's got a rather wide arrogant streak. He and Patton frequently clash in terms of personality and battlefield strategy.

1. True
2. False

Patton thinks he's above the law, but he's not. Eisenhower learns of the abuse incident, and he decides to relieve Patton of his command. He also forces the abusive general to apologize in front of multiple groups of soldiers.

1. Rommel was already dead
   Rommel was sick
2. Rommel ran away in fear

The general is nearly distraught when he learns that Rommel was sick and not present at the battle. He wanted to beat the legendary Nazi on the battlefield.

1. Comforts him
   Beats him
2. Leaves him

The egotistical American general sees the shell-shocked soldier and thinks he's a coward who's scared of battle. He slaps him and mocks him and orders him back to the front.

1. Battle of Okinawa
   D-Day
2. Bombing of Hiroshima

Patton is sure he's only experienced a temporary setback. He's certain that Eisenhower will put him in charge of the D-Day invasion of Europe, one of the most important campaigns of World War II.

1. It doesn't exist.
   It contains mostly female soldiers.
2. It used new weapons.

The First United States Army Group is a fake army group that exists only on paper. It's meant as a decoy to confuse German spies and military leaders.

1. Fleeting
   Bloody
2. Exhilarating

Patton speaks about ancient Roman conquerors and the glory they felt after winning a war. But he also realizes that "all glory is fleeting."

1. Being aggressive
   Being undisciplined
2. They are unorganized.

When Patton arrives on his trusty Jeep, his men are lollygagging about, apparently not too concerned that they're at war. Patton immediately sets about changing their attitudes.

1. He gets angry.
   He gets emotional.
2. He grovels for a chance to command.

Patton is agonized that history is happening without him. He grovels to Gen. Omar Bradley for a chance to take command as the Allies fight the Germans in Europe.

1. Hitler bought it
   The Germans never caught on
2. The Germans feared Patton

The Germans respected and feared Patton's abilities as an offensive commander, and they were convinced that he would lead the D-Day invasion. The decoy worked very well in the movie, and in real life, too.

1. He attacks.
   He marches to save them.
2. He sacrifices them in order to take other objectives.

During the Battle of the Bulge, the Germans pin down the Americans near Bastogne. In what became one of the most legendary moments of the war, Patton frantically sends his men to the town and rescues the trapped Americans.

1. He becomes dejected.
   He plans his future political career.
2. He tries to befriend his former enemies.

Patton is downright sad at the idea of the war ending. He thinks war is an exciting challenge and doesn't want Hitler and his cronies to give up.

1. True
2. False

The general did say many of these legendary words but the movie version combines real-life multiple speeches into one that's perfectly moving for the big screen.

1. Fines him
   Reprimands him
2. Has him removed

An undisciplined camp cook isn't wearing his regulation leggings. Patton decides that this is a punishable offense, and thus, fines the man $20. The general's strict rules force the men to follow all army guidelines.

1. Sicily
   Tokyo
2. Germany

Once North Africa is liberated, Patton's men are ordered to invade Sicily. Two commanders (Patton and British Gen. Bernard Montgomery) are told to come up with a plan for the invasion.

1. He never speaks to (or about) the media.
   He hates the media with every fiber of his being.
2. He thinks of them as a tool for power and talks to them.

Patton is a manipulator, and he sees the press as a way to shape public opinion and as a means to grow his own power. It's just one more reason that Eisenhower often doesn't trust the brash American general.

1. He defies his orders
   He does exactly what he's supposed to
2. He begins to devise a new plan

Patton has no intention of taking a backseat to Montgomery. As the invasion begins, Patton defies his orders and decides to race Montgomery toward the objective.
