...after five years in gilded Hollywood, told readers of the New York Times why he was back: ". . . Is it still news that a Hollywood movie is usually born on the stone floor of a bank? And that this celluloid dragon, scorching to death every human fact in its path, must muscle its way back to its natal cave, its mouth full of dimes and nickels? . . . The Hollywood film exists only as the celebration of cold, canny (not so canny!) investment, with the resultant desire to make every movie as accessible as chewing gum, for which no more human maturity...

Although a chronic worrywart, Patton usually manages to control his worrying. In his crowded schedule there are special times for fretting, just as there are set times to go to classes at the University of Southern California and a set time to be home for dinner (he has a wife and two-year-old daughter). The proof of Patton's iron control under pressure...
