Plaster Castinq. Getting Straight would thus seem to be aimed at the silent majority, but that would be crediting it with a species of integrity; the film is out for everyone's patronage regardless of taste or creed. Suddenly arguing for the dissenters, Bailey screams at the college president: "You can't hold back the hands on the clock; they'll rip your arms...

The script presents Patton as a distorted Quixote, espousing an ancient creed: Hate thine enemy, and never let the home team down. In the end, what truly overtakes Patton is Patton. In a field hospital, the general strikes a battle-fatigued G.I. The shock waves of the slap reverberate back to America, where Congressmen shrill for the general's command. Patton is relieved...
