Patton despondently displayed his arrogant power-lust as he confessed: "I love it.God help me, I do love it so.I love it more than my life."As the war ended on the battlefield, the outspoken Patton insulted and snubbed America""s current ally Russia, and then unwisely compared the defeated Nazis to other US political parties.And I""m an American who lives here.My name, Jerry Mulligan, and I""m an ex-GI.In 1945, when the Army old me to find my own job, I stayed on.And I""ll tell you why.I""m a painter.All my life that""s all I""ve ever wanted to do.Carefree, but struggling and penniless young artist, ex-GI Jerry Mulligan (Gene Kelly) has remained in Paris following World War II to paint and study art.I don""t see why she has to have his pain...It""s time for her shot.Do you understand? Do something! All she has to do is hold on until ten, and it""s past ten.She""s in pain.My daughter""s in pain.Give her the shot.Do you understand me? Give my daughter theshot! (She got the desired reaction, and then composed herself) Thank you very much.Robie is a reformed former jewel thief - a bachelor now living in a mountainside villa overlooking the sea on the South of France""s Riviera.
