Back when the Fox Movie Channel used to run their Fox Legacy feature with the then Fox president Tom Rothman, they had one on the film Patton. I'm pretty sure in his introduction to the film he said the original intention was for the movie to have an intermission (which was still common for big Hollywood movies then), and Patton's speech would be seen immediately after the intermission. That is why Patton has the four stars instead of just two at the beginning. When the movie was cut down in length and the idea of the intermission was dropped, the speech was moved to the beginning as its introduction. I don't expect FMC to show this series anymore as Rothman is no longer president of Fox.
Also, I think the article does need a section pointing out the historical errors in the movie. The fact that it is not a documentary is not relevant, as people tend to assume what they see in a movie like this is correct, as it isn't an historical drama like Gone With the Wind. I know that point was debated before at length but I didn't find their arguments convincing. 209.179.57.76 ( talk) 19:53, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
The name of the "Patton Salute" bugle call is "To the Colors". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbSxOQqiVhM — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.88.73.35 ( talk) 18:33, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
The plot summary states that Lt. Col. Codman replaced Capt. Jenson. The only thing we know is that Jenson was killed and that Codman soon after joined Patton's staff. A Lt General (3 star) would have several officers in his staff performing different roles and it seems unlikely that a field grade - Lt. Col. would fill the same role as a company grade Captain. I just saw it a few days ago and there is no statement that Codman was Jensons' replacement. I am changing the text to reflect this. -- rogerd ( talk) 01:26, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
