Prelude 

My father was a renowned Hollywood film composer.  If he were alive, and not recently dead of cancer, he would read the preceding words and correct me irritably:   “Don’t call me a ‘film composer’,” he would have said. “I’m a composer.  You don’t refer to Mozart as an ‘opera’ composer.”

My father never minded admitting that once I had saved his life.  He would recount a night I called and woke him out of an almost endless slumber fueled by Nembutal and Vodka without a trace of self-consciousness; to him, it was just another amusing anecdote—and he did give me credit for being a hero.

An offscreen voice calls “ten-hut!” and there’s silence; then General George S. Patton (George C. Scott) strides—no, marches—into view. He is far smaller, in Schaffner’s framing, than we might expect for such a larger-than-life figure; Old Glory, though, is absurdly big, and many writers compare the effect to Pop Art in its assertive simplicity.

There’s a bugle and a salute from Patton; then a medium-long shot of him is followed by a peculiar extreme close-up which shows nearly all of his saluting hand, but only a quarter of his face. Perhaps this is an indication of how difficult it will be to get to know the man behind the soldier?

Schaffner now cuts to Patton’s other hand, gripping his swagger stick, and then we see his medals, his pistol, his helmet insignia—all the accoutrements of his military role, but still very little to suggest there is anything here but a soldier. No emotion, no words until he begins his celebrated speech (delivered in real life, but rewritten for the film by Francis Ford Coppola and
