3 RING CIRCUS
1954
Starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis

3 Ring Circus was not a film Dean Martin cared to remember. Apparently this was a film that Jerry Lewis wanted to make because he got to play a circus clown. It was the first time that real tension became public between the two of them.

PLOT
Jerry and Pete are two friends, just out of the army and with no money, are looking for jobs. They finally find one as workers in a circus, but Jerry has different dreams. He wants to become a clown.
However, with the circus in financial difficulties, the only way that both Pete and Jerry can be hired is if they help out wherever needed...
