A Martin/Lewis collaboration that had somehow escaped me until now. While I'm not a hardcore fan of their work, they are a pretty fun duo and this circus-based film is a pretty good (albeit logical and easy) fit for the duo. Though a bit too long, there are some fun moments that illustrate why they became so famous together. Jerry Lewis as Jerrico the clown and Dean Martin as the women-hungry Pete, no doubt these roles weren't very hard to write. The duo is in good form and there are enough laughs scattered throughout the film, though it wouldn't have hurt to cut 15 minutes, and the ending is quite sudden and extremely convenient. Decent.
