Sergeants 3 (1962) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)FINALLY the long awaited release of the 'lost' rat pack movie!! Yeah! As a life long Dean Martin fans who has about 20 bad dubs of this, i'm psyched to see it finally commercially released!!
Not only is Dean totally CUTE in both dress and casual uniform, he has a great part in this one. I suppose it took so long because of the racial overtones, but racism WAS a part of our history, whether we like it or not and Dean is kinda the good guy here.
And it's pretty well known that the Rat Pack was instrumental (pun - get it!) in helping blacks start gaining equality in Las Vegas...
It's not a serious piece, or a western drama. It's silly, full of in jokes, a total guy movie. The history of the Ghost Dancer Indians is completely wrong and not even close to real history, but the Indians were often the bad guys back then (another racial problem with the movie - but hey - it's the 1960's and it's the Rat Pack...deal with it)...
In short, the guys are great and seem to be having a blast, despite the fact that Lawford is still amongst them (tho not for long)...

And, like i said, Dean is TOTALLY cute in it. So relax, have a beer, and enjoy it for what it is...

Little Big Man (1970) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Advertised as a comedy when originally released, LITTLE BIG MAN is much, much more than that. Director Arthur Penn's sweeping film depicting the clash of the Indian and white cultures will have you chuckling one moment, then shaking your head sadly at man's inhumanity to man the next.
Dustin Hoffman as the ever industrious Jack Crabb takes this movie on his shoulders and carries it superbly. To say that the actor shows some "range" in this role is the epitome of an understatement: from portraying an adolescent teenager to a fragile 121-year-old-man (phenomenal makeup job), from snake-oil salesman to mule skinner, Hoffman brings Jack's fascinating life to splendorous glory. And Hoffman is funny--darn funny--with a wonderful knack for physical comedy.
In addition to Hoffman, LITTLE BIG MAN offers other savory treats. Richard Mulligan is absolutely delightful as a narcissistic General George Armstrong Custer--the stunning Faye Dunaway positively wicked as naughty Mrs. Pendrake. Chief Dan George, who portrays Old Lodge Skins, Jack's adopted Cheyenne grandfather, delivers countless one-liners, yet lends a quiet, heartfelt dignity to his role. In fact, this is a movie one will wish to savor again and again--a beautifully crafted, well-made film that is timeless in its ability to entertain.
