Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

vincentlynch-moonoi This is the greatest Western of all time! Of course it isn't, nor was it intended to be. This is the worst Western of all time. Of course it isn't. And if you think the latter, then it's been a long time since you watched very many of Hollywood's old Westerns. What this was, was a fun Rat Pack movie. Nothing more. Nothing less. Was it a rehash -- albeit not serious -- of "Gunga Din"? Yes. But for laughs.Dean, Frank, Sammy, Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop do what you expect them to do in a Clan movie.But, I'll tell you what this movie has that is on the high end. Scenery -- superb, in the Zion National Park region, and, actually on the trails of Bryce Canyon National Park. And, darned good stunt work. I mean really good! In fact, last evening I watched an Errol Flynn Western, and the poor stunt work and fake horseback riding was so noticeable. Not here. Yes, you know that mostly it's not the Rat Pack on those horses (although Dean actually was a pretty fair rider), but it does look real, and the stunts in some cases are top notch.So, you've got a decent story. You've got Frank and Dean. You've got great western scenery. All that equals a fairly entertaining nearly 2 hours. Take it for what it is!

Richard (richreed-1) Praise the Gods and Ted Turner! This rarest of the Rat Pack Movies is now being periodically carried on the TCM (Turner Classic Movies) channel during tributes to Old Blue Eyes. The DVD was set up and now I can enjoy this any time I want.I have not seen this movie since its original release at the beginning of the 60's. Since movies can't change in the can, I guess I have. Or at least my view of the world. Back then I laughed like hell at Davis' wondering-out-loud on how they got the skin off the skulls without taking the headbands off, but now I wince at the stereotype of the uneducated Negro.Also, back then, the Western was king on TV (Maverick, Cheyenne, The Restless Gun, Have Gun Will Travel, The Rebel, The Virginian, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, et al) as was military stuff (Combat!, The Gallant Men, The Blue Angels, Wackiest Ship In The Army, McHales navy, etc) so as a young lad this was the best of both worlds, a Military Western. Funny, too.But world-weary vision aside, it's still a classic Rat Packer and very enjoyable. Sinatra actually does some acting, and this is probably one of Dino's best jobs short of The Young Lions.

JasparLamarCrabb 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.

deljoy Having just viewed this film again after seeing it on it's initial release in 1962, my first thoughts were how much better this could have been, I found the location scenery was quite superb and the Billy May background music with it's continuing theme was nice to listen to. But the usual antics of the Pack distracted from the general storyline. The fight scenes were comical, not funny, and seemed overlong as were the battle scenes. It was worth a viewing though just to see the whole Clan together, but a little more effort from all would have made it better for me. I have never seen the film Gunga Din on which this is reported to be based, so I can make no comparison between the two efforts.
