Sergeants 3
Sergeants 3 is a 1962 American comedy/Western film directed by John Sturges and starring Rat Pack icons Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop. It was the last film to feature all five members of the Rat Pack. Sinatra would no longer speak to or work with Lawford following the abrupt cancellation in March 1962 of a visit by Lawford's brother-in-law, President John F. Kennedy, to Sinatra's Palm Springs house (Kennedy opted to stay at Bing Crosby's estate instead).
The film is a remake of Gunga Din (1939), with the setting moved from India to the American West.
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 leaving the army at the end of his current hitch to marry the beautiful Amelia Parent.
One night, the three friends befriend a trumpet-playing former slave, Jonah Williams, who dreams of someday becoming a trooper. After a tribe of fanatical Indians begins terrorizing the area, Chip attempts to capture 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 escapes and races back to inform 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 song 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.
Believing that he has been discharged, Larry drives away in a buggy with Amelia, but the Mike shows the post's commanding officer the reenlistment paper that he had promised to destroy.
The film, known by its working title of Badlands, was filmed in the summer of 1961 in Johnson Canyon, Paria, Kanab and Bryce Canyon in Utah and in House Rock Valley, Arizona. Frank Sinatra, who coproduced the film, rented a ghost town near Kanab as a filming location and sought to establish a 20-mile radius in which no one but those involved with the film would be permitted. During the filming of Some Came Running several years earlier in Indiana, Sinatra was besieged with female admirers and wished to avoid a similar phenomenon.
