 A clip from it was shown in a promotional short film, "Paramount Presents VistaVision".An edited version, removing, among other things, the early military and circus scenes of Martin and Lewis together, plus Martin's later music numbers, was released by Paramount in 1978 and shown at children's matinees.As the new title "Jerrico The Wonder Clown" implied, the resulting edit lessened Martin's screen-time and threw the emphasis to Lewis' character even more than in the original film.
