The shooting script

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's infamous uncompleted 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 unspools.

  • "Roy Milano takes a menial job to pay for his suddenly mute mother's convalescence. Roy's job brings him face-to-face with Abner Cooley, who's been commissioned to write a script for the 12-part cult fantasy novel The Seven Ordeals of Quelman. Abner, suddenly a target for fanatic Quelman fans, one of whom is trying to kill him, hires Roy to find his attacker. Roy is soon sidetracked by the prospect of obtaining a priceless copy of Jerry Lewis's unreleased Nazi drama The Day the Clown Cried. Roy finds the movie's owner, Ted Savitch, dead of a heart attack-- or was it murder? A retired television star, Savitch's daughter, Dena, and a whole gaggle of oddballs sweep Roy from Manhattan to the Hamptons, on to Los Angeles and a bicycle built for two in Amsterdam, and all the while he's dodging bullets and Oscar statuettes in hectic hot pursuit of the elusive stolen film."
