Patton -- A critically acclaimed film that won a total of eight Academy Awards (Including Best Picture), Patton is a riveting portrait of one of the 20th century's greatest military geniuses. George Patton was the only allied general truly feared by the Nazis. Charismatic and flamboyant, Patton designed his own uniforms, sported ivory-handled six-shooters, and believed he was a warrior in past lives. He out-maneuvered Rommel in Africa, and after D-Day led his troops in an unstoppable campaign across Europe.

Vincent Price returns to his English manor from Africa with his mad, mutilated brother whom he keeps chained upstairs. Price buries his brother alive, glad to be rid of him, but the body is dug up by a local physician and the brother, still alive, begins a systematic search for vengeance.

Promoted to Lieutenant General, Patton is sent to Sicily, where he engages in a personal war of egos with British Field Marshal Montgomery (Michael Bates).
