Movie Reviews of Sergeants 3
Movie Review: The rat pack at its best
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sergeants 3 is a remake of the Cary Grant classic of Gunga Din. It is the rat pack at its best in this hilarious western comedy. It is definitely worth buying and seeing over and over again .
Summary of Sergeants 3
Mike Chip and Larry are three lusty brawling U. S. Cavalry sergeants stationed in Indian Territory in 1870. Mike and Chip are determined to prevent Larry from carrying out his decision to leave the Army at the end of his current hitch and marry beautiful Amelia Parent. One night the three cronies befriend a trumpet-playing former slave Jonah Williams who dreams of someday becoming a trooper. A tribe of fanatical Indians begins terrorizing the area and the headstrong Chip decides to attempt the capture of their leader. Accompanied by Jonah he sneaks into the Indians' secret meeting place while they are conducting one of their mysterious rites but he is discovered and taken prisoner. Jonah however escapes and races back to tell Mike and Larry. When Larry insists upon going to Chip's rescue Mike makes him sign a reenlistment paper "just to make his help official" and promises to destroy the paper after the mission. Mike Larry and Jonah make their way to the Indian stronghold but they too end up as prisoners. As the Cavalry rides into a trap where a thousand warriors are waiting to ambush them Jonah blows the regiment's favorite tune on his trumpet as a warning. The ensuing battle ends in victory for the Cavalry; the three sergeants are decorated and Jonah is made a trooper. Thinking himself discharged Larry drives off in a buggy with Amelia but the crafty Mike shows the post's commanding officer the reenlistment paper he had promised to destroy. Larry it appears will be forced to serve another hitch with Mike and Chip.System Requirements:Running Time: 112 minutes Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?WESTERN/CLASSICS Rating:?UNRATED UPC:?883904108047 Manufacturer No:?M110804Lurking inside this 1962 Rat Pack movie is a true film classic: 1939's buoyant Kipling adventure, Gunga Din. The plotline's about the same, but the action in Sergeants 3 is transferred from colonial India to the Old West. Our three roistering Army buddies are played by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Peter Lawford, who are assigned a tense scouting mission just about the time Lawford is ready to quit the service in favor of--horrors--marriage. Sammy Davis, Jr., assumes the Gunga Din role, as a freed slave who tags along after the sergeants in hopes of joining the Army. (Yes, he blows a bugle.) Less successfully transferred than this outline is the way the cult from Gunga Din becomes a bloodthirsty tribe of Ghost Dancers in Sergeants Three, a bit of fudged movie history that will have to be taken with a grain of salt. But it's about as believable as everything else in this movie, right down to the fake beards on the cowpokes in the opening saloon brawl. Director John Sturges, who made this movie between his commercial high points of The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape, apparently had little interest in making the interiors look like anything but studio sets. The exteriors fare much better, as many were shot in Utah's Bryce Canyon. The actors look as disengaged from this material as Sturges, with oomph sneaking in only when the boys are teasing each other (notably a sequence in which stuffy officer Joey Bishop--yes, he's in here too--is tricked into swallowing a laxative). It's all pretty flat, lending credence to the idea that the movie's long delay in securing a DVD release had less to do with racial insensitivity than with sheer lameness. --Robert Horton
