Film old northerner with uniform on (7)
I believe the answer is:
picture
'film' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'old northerner with uniform on' is the wordplay.
'old northerner' becomes 'pict' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'old' bit.).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'uniform' becomes 'U' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'on' becomes 're' (regarding).
'pict'+'u'+'re'='PICTURE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for picture that I've seen before include "Portrait; film" , "Depiction" , "Painting, drawing or film" , "Hanging wall adornment" , "One can paint a thousand words, it's said" .)
