• Filmado em: Utah

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.

Production

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.

The film is a remake of Gunga Din with Sinatra in the Victor McLaglen role, Martin in the Cary Grant part, Lawford replacing Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and Davis in Sam Jaffe's role. The Thugee cult is replaced by the Ghost Dancers, with Michael Pate and Henry Silva appearing as Indians. Burnett was also credited with writing a novelization of the film.

John Wayne lent Sammy Davis Jr. the hat that he had worn in Legend of the Lost and Rio Bravo to wear in the film.

W.R. Burnett called the film one of his "pet pictures" because they shot his first draft.
