There must be thousands of hours of actual footage existing of these events , so why all the tacky, low budget, fictionalized re-enactments? (I suspect to appeal to young people who refuse to watch anything in black and white or listen very long to a narrator.) The actors hired to play Patton, Montgomery and Eisenhower don't even look like the real person, and sound even more ridiculous. The actor playing Patton is especially bad.
The facts are here if you're interested in this subject. But it's almost ruined by the fictionalized dialogue and campy presentation. |
