Quotes from
Leonora:
[to Weldon] So, Firebird's alright, is he?
Leonora: [Lashes him across the face with her horse whip]
Alison Langdon: Alcoholics, paresis, senility. My God. What a choice crew.
Maj. Weldon Penderton: Now, a man does not flee because... um... he's fighting in an unjust cause. He does not attack because his cause is just. He flees 'cause he's the weaker. And he conquers 'cause he's the stronger. Or more to the point because his leaders made him feel stronger. Rommel... Patton, Marshall, MacArthur. They - they had it. How did they - uh... how did they make their troops believe they were stronger? Leadership is intangible... hard to measure, difficult to describe. Leadership must include a measure of inherent ability to control... uh... and direct self-confidence... based on initiative, loyalty to superiors, and a sense of pride. Pride. It's far easier to recognize a leader, than to define leadership in clear and in universally understood terms. Now... is leadership - uh... learned? Is it taught? Is a man born with it? How did it come to Patton?... Uh, class dismissed.

Facts about
The role of Maj. Penderton was extremely physically demanding, and the insurance company underwriting the production required proof that star Montgomery Clift was fit enough for the role, after his years of illness. Clift's long-time friend Elizabeth Taylor committed her large salary as insurance in order to secure Clift for the role. Clift subsequently died of a heart attack before filming began, and the role went to Marlon Brando.
Stills of Marlon Brando's character were used in his Apocalypse Now character's "dossier".
Both Richard Burton and Lee Marvin turned down the role of Major Weldon Penderton before Marlon Brando agreed to do it for $750,000 plus 10% of the profits.
