The Face on the Cutting-Room Floor (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The proverbial "face on the cutting-room floor" is a character in a movie who, after the shooting is completed, is completely removed from the film, for whatever reason. The same idea also holds true for documentaries, where in the editing process the large amount of raw footage is cut down to a manageable size and where it can happen that a particular part of the film is completely removed from the final version.

As a title, The Face on the Cutting Room Floor can refer to:
