The Last Days of Patton - DVD

Based on a true story, this film finds Gen. George S. Patton (George C. Scott) working a desk job for the U.S. military after World War II. In the midst of dealing with the difficulty of adapting to his dramatic change of lifestyle, Patton is involved in an auto wreck that leaves him in critical condition. While his body fails him, Patton introspectively reminisces about his relationship with his spouse, Beatrice (Eva Marie Saint) ; his childhood; and his days on the battlefields of World War I.

A critically acclaimed film PATTON is a riveting portrait of one of the 20th century's greatest military geniuses. George Patton, 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 outmanoeuvred Rommel in Africa, and after D-Day led his troops in an unstoppable campaign across Europe. But he was rebellious as well as brilliant, and as PATTON shows with insight and poignancy, his own volatile personality was one enemy he could never defeat.

DVD. When John Jones returned home from medical school for a Thanksgiving visit with his wife and 2-year-old daughter, he could not have anticipated that his mortal journey would end 28 hours later, 150 feet underground, at the dead end of a popular cave. Despite the heroic efforts of rescue crews, they were not able to free John's body from the narrow tunnel where he had become stuck while exploring with his brothers and friends. But that doesn't mean John and others weren't saved in a real sense that day. The Last Descent proves the power of love and family can overcome anything... even death.
