2026
Books
From the acclaimed actor and director comes a behind-the-scenes look at the making of legendary mockumentary 'This is Spinal Tap', with the collaboration of the film's key players including actors, producers, screenwriters, designers and more. Featuring never-before-seen photographs, band memorabilia and personal reminiscences of their enduring creative partnership, 'A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever' will delight Tap-heads of all ages - just as the long-awaited Spinal Tap sequel is hitting theatres. But wait, there's more - 'A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever' also comes with a bonus memoir by Reiner's directorial alter ego, Marty DiBergi, in which he interviews Tap band members Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins and Derek Smalls about their musical journey and their drummers who paid the ultimate sacrifice to the rock gods.
