George C. Scott Quotes:

Bert Gordon: [to Eddie] You owe me MONEY.

Bert Gordon: [Viciously to Sarah] You're here on a rain check, and I know it! You're hanging on by your nails. Let that glory whistle ring out loud and clear, and you're a wreck on a railroad track! You're a horse that finished last! Now, don't make trouble, Miss Lady Bug! Live and let live while you can!

Abraham: [to Sarah] Lo, here I bring my love beside thee in the tent.

George C. Scott Facts
His performance as Gen. George S. Patton in Patton (1970) is ranked #82 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Performances of All Time (2006).
There were only two feature films shot in the Dimension 150 process. Scott starred in both of them: The Bible: In the Beginning... (1966) (aka "La Bibbia") and Patton (1970). "Patton", which was released in Cinerama theaters, was the last movie shot in a widescreen format specifically for exhibition on the Cinerama circuit, which featured curved screens. Spectators at the Cinerama showings of "Patton" were awed by the three-dimensional effect of Patton's opening speech, in which Scott as Patton stands by himself on-screen. The scene likely was shot for the purpose of showcasing the Cinerama screen.
Best known for playing the legendary Gen. George S. Patton.
