George S. Patton, Jr. Pattern is controversy burned into film, a closeup portrayal of will under strain, of oversized figures, the tale of perhaps the most aggressive and flamboyant commander ever to wear an American uniform and his command relationship with cool-headed, courageous Omar N. Bradley, first his subordinate finally his superior and today the only surviving five-star general of World War II. Patton is the story of a warlord, a samurai, a millionaire soldier whose career reads like a fever chart, a man with flinty courage, big hurts and a scathing tongue, a superpatriot who was also anti-Establishment of another ilk. In the popular image the great commanders are dazzling figures, standing on their mounds at the edge of battle and guiding its cold currents and compulsive course, bending a million men to their will, mocking fear and death. They are unique characters to be sure, they are neither omnipotent nor omniscient, however, but bound by the elements of war. George S. Patton read history and quoted Seneca and Napoleon. He liberated more territory than any other Allied commander in World War II, was a proconsul of a a piece of African real estate he called a mixture of the Bible and Hollywood, yelled defiances against Field Marshal Edwin Rommel into the desert wind, slapped a common soldier and was demoted in a move that even dumbfounded Adolf Hitler.

    JOHN HAWKESWORTH SCOPE AND CONTENT Papers relating to film and television producer, scriptwriter and designer JOHN STANLEY HAWKESWORTH. Born: London, 7 December 1920 Died: Leicester, 30 September 2003 John Hawkesworth was born the son of Lt.General Sir John Hawkesworth and educated at Rugby and Queen's College, Oxford. Between school and university he spent a year studying art at the Sorbonne in Paris, where Picasso corrected his drawings once a week. Following the military tradition of his family, Hawkesworth joined the Grenadier guards in 1940 and had a distinguished World War II record. In 1943 he married Hyacinth Gregson-Ellis and on demobilisation from the army began work in the film industry as an assistant to Vincent Korda. As art director he worked on many films for British Lion including The THIRD MAN (GB, 1949), OUTCAST OF THE ISLANDS (GB, 1951), and The SOUND BARRIER (GB, 1952). As a freelance designer he was involved with The MAN WHO NEVER WAS (GB, 1955) and The PRISONER (GB, 1955). Joining the Rank Organisation as a trainee producer, Hawkesworth worked on several films at Pinewood and was associate producer on WINDOMS WAY (GB, 1957) and TIGER BAY (GB, 1959).
