Schaffner (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) World War II (WWII) military officer general biographical action thriller ("'No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country...' General George S. Patton, Jr."; "From a New York Times Editorial, Dec. 22, 1945: 'Long before the war ended, Patton was a legend. Spectacular, swaggering, pistol packing, deeply religious and violently profane... easily moved to anger... easily moved to tears... he was a strange combination of fire and ice.'"; "Screen story and screenplay by Francis Ford Coppola and Edmund H. North"; "Based on factual material from 'Patton: Ordeal and Triumph' by Ladislas Farago and 'A Soldier's Story' by Omar N. Bradley"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring George C. Scott (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as "General George S. Patton"; of course, Scott refused the Oscar, citing a dislike of the voting process and the concept of acting competitions!), Karl Malden ("as General Omar N. Bradley"), Michael Bates, Ed Binns, Stephen Young, James Edwards, and Tim Considine. Note that when the movie was first released, the title was "Patton: A Salute to a Rebel", and the movie received an "M" rating. But the title was quickly shortened to simply "Patton", and during that time, the MPAA had changed the rating system, where "M" became "GP", so the posters that were printed with the new title had the new "GP" rating on them. Most collectors consider both versions to be from the "first release", but technically, the ones with the longer title and the "M" rating are from the very first release!

Important Added Info: Note that this is a special deluxe set of 16" x 20" stills printed in Italy for use in the U.S. The lower right of each card (on the back) is printed "PRINTED IN ITALY BY *ROTOGRAPH* - ROMA". Note that all of the stills have "PATTON 20th Century Fox" professionally printed on the back left of each still. Note also that these stills measure 16" x 20" [41 x 51 cm]. Also note that this auction also includes the envelope this item originally came with! Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Some of these items can ONLY be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. On some of them (for example f it is a size that might ordinarily be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet), the reason it is in this auction is specifically because we feel it either CAN'T be rolled or because we feel it would be a mistake to roll it, because it might well damage the item. In the case of the few items that could be rolled, we will roll the item in a tube if the new owner insists, but only if they accept that they can't return the item if it is damaged from being rolled. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
