    • Trivia
      In the scene where Gen. Patton gives his farewell address to the Third Army, most of the extras are actual USAF airmen from RAF Mildenhall.
    • Goofs
      Parts of the films were shot at Harlaxton Manor in Lincolnshire, UK, although since it is supposed to be in Bavaria, the Alps are shown in the background. In one scene, they failed to insert the Alps behind the manor house.
    • Quotes

      General George S. Patton Jr.: There's never been a better chance of producing a war in Europe than we have right now... With the German troops I'm holding and my own men, I can push the Russians all the way back to Moscow.

    It's no Patton (1970), but ...
    ... but it isn't as bad as the other commentators might make you think.

    Based on Ladislas Farago's followup to Patton: Ordeal and Triumph (one of the source materials for the original film), Last Days shows Patton on his deathbed, and intercuts flashbacks, mostly of his early life, his courtship of Bea Ayers, his days at the Point and before the first world war. (Patton's adventures on Pershing's 1916 Punitive Expedition to Mexico, and in World War I could make another great film, in the right hands.)

    Eva Marie Saint plays Bea very well, and it's always nice to see a pair of contemporaries playing an aging couple, rather than allowing the casting to be dictated by "who's hot," and then relying on makeup to age them.

    Overall, a good movie, although I'm tempted to agree that is was an unnecessarily long movie.
