No one played Eisenhower in the movie "Patton," because Eisenhower was never shown. Ike died in 1969 and his family, including widow Mamie, hated Patton because of his remarks about Ike's leadership during the war. The family refused to allow the movie (filmed in 1969-70) to have any actor portray Eisenhower, hence, Ike's deputy, Gen. Beedle Smith (portrayed by Edward Blinn) is always referring to Ike, but he is never shown. In the scene at Verdun on Dec. 19, 1944, just after the German breakthrough in the Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge) Beedle Smith is asking who can break through to Bastogne. In reality, it was Ike leading the conference who asked that question. It is true that Patton had forseen the possibility of a German breakthrough in the Ardennes three days earlier and had planned for three possible attacks against the Germans if they came through.
