Forum Theatre 755 George Street, Sydney, NSW - Previously known as The Lyric.

“ 1955 - The Three Ring Circus” was photographed in VistaVision, no mention of this on the front of house facade? - despite this the film was the second to be shot in VistaVision. A clip was included in a promotional short film titled Paramount Presents VistaVision.

An edited version removing the early military and circus scenes of Martin and Lewis together, as well as Martin’s later music numbers, was released by Paramount in 1974 and shown at children’s matinees. Retitled Jerrico the Wonder Clown, the abbreviated film lessened Martin’s screen time and cast more emphasis on Lewis' character than had the original film.
