I've heard Rommels voice as well of voices of Frieddrich Paulus, Gerd von Rundstedt, Ewald von Kleist and a few other German Generals and GFMs. Rommels sounded like a "normal" mans voice. I think I even heard GFM Schorners voice in a doc once-and seem to recall it sounded a bit high pitched to me. Which is good and funny to me because I loathe Schorner and everything he stood for. This jerk made hi men stand or die-while he abandoned them fleeing to some mountain retreat and was captured wearing Civilians clothing. He did this and lived-yet this ardent nazi-B****** sentenced to death by hanging and by firing squad-hundreds if not thousands of soldiers much braver than he ever was.

Patton, IS a classic and you can say that again. I've thoroughly enjoyed this movie everytime I have seen it. Jerry Goldsmith did one hell of a job with the theme music as well as all other music in the film.
A bit in Siegfried Rauch & The Big Red One. When TBRO was restored and released on DvD, they restored most of the scenes that he was in which in my opinion, fills in several "holes" in the movie. It was nice to see the full story for a change. I hate how the studio shafted Samuel Fuller on what is said to be his finest masterpiece.
Back to Patton:
George C. Scott did one heck of a job in his portrayal of the great General. I've seen Kirk Douglas as Patton, and he aint convincing at all. That was in: Is PAris Burning? Anyway, the sequal to Geo C. Scott's Patton-was a nicely made movie too. Scott actually had those hooks in his face as he wanted to portray Paton as he was in that hospital before he died. I wish they would release this sequal to Patton.
