SERGEANTS 3 is good, but be prepared...it's not a comedy. It's a fun, sometimes rollicking, adventure based (very) loosely on the Gunga Din story and updated to the post-Civil War years. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Peter Lawford are the three sergeants of the title. Sammy Davis Jr. is the freed slave who befriends them. Henry Silva is the leader of a group of psychotic Indians bent on wiping out the white man and the appealing Ruta Lee is Lawford's fiancé. There are jokes (mostly provided by Martin) and the film is probably the best directed of the Rat Pack films. That should come as no surprise since the great John Sturges was at the helm. There's not a musical number to be had, but still a very entertaining film. Buddy Lester and Joey Bishop are in it too.
