There is a standard trailer for the 1979 movie The Jerk, starring Steve Martin. But I just discovered an alt trailer that is unusual, clever, and meta.
It features Martin in a short film talking directly theater owners, ostensibly not intended to be shown to theatergoers.
It's great to discover material created contemporaneously with the original content that you love — in this case, showcasing Steve Martin at the height of his powers and popularity — that you've never seen. It's like finding a cut scene from a great movie or cut tracks from a classic album.
