Synopsis

Roy Milano, a self-described movie detective who is devoted to finding, hoarding, and reciting arcane information about films, once again stumbles into a murder case-this one centering on a copy of Jerry Lewis' infamous unfinished film, The Day the Clown Cried, shot in Sweden in 1972. Though rough cuts were apparently screened for the filmmaker's colleagues and Hollywood insiders, the movie was quickly suppressed and never exhibited to the general public or to any critic or film historian. And now certain cinema buffs are ready to kill to possess that elusive footage. It's up to Roy to save the day, and the film, before everything unravels.

Reviews

THE CUTTING ROOM, Laurence Klavan's first adventure of film-freak turned investigator Roy Milano, was a fresh twist on the detective drama in which Milano tracked down the world's most valuable lost film. Klavan's latest work has an unkempt plot, heavy on atmosphere and light on logic. In it, Milano becomes embroiled in a series of murders while trying to track down the second most valuable lost film, Jerry Lewis's 1972 dark drama THE DAY THE CLOWN CRIED. Sensing a pattern? The work is performed beautifully, but reader Nick Sullivan does not have a lot to work with. His delivery is flawless, but even his skills cannot rescue this illogical saga from mediocrity.
