Sergeants 3 (1962)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 112m
Director: John Sturges
Cast: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis Jr.
Synopsis:
Three U.S. Cavalry sergeants and a black trumpeter conspire to foil an Indian chief in his attempt to unite the tribes against the white man.
Review:
Fairly obvious, and politically superannuated, remake of Gunga Din, whether in aligning the Sioux (who were nowhere near Utah) with the cutthroat Thuggees, or in the assumption of Davis Jr.'s native inferiority carried over from the Rat Pack's stage performances. Still, it was a good-looking and lighthearted subversion of 7th Cavalry mythology for commercial purposes, which wouldn't be the first time even if it was darn near the last.
