| Notes | Lewis and Martin comedy set in circus. Billy Curtis, the dwarf actor, presumably plays a clown. Steve Carroll notes: "Three Ring Circus" a.k.a. "3 Ring Circus" a.k.a. "Jerrico, The Wonder Clown" A Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin comedy, this one is set in a circus where Martin is a worker and Lewis is an apprentice, hoping to get a big break in the clown business. Sandy Descher appears in the final scene as a girl with leg braces from an orphanage that the circus is performing for. She seems very unhappy and won't laugh or talk, until Jerrico (Lewis) starts to cry. Then she laughs, because she's "never seen a clown cry before", and she maneuvers herself around so she can give Lewis a big hug. http://us.imdb.com/Title?0047582
