Crossword Genius

1960s' play and film, featuring American club with revolving bar (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

billy liar

'1960s' play and film' is the definition.

'american club with revolving bar' is the wordplay.
'american club' becomes 'billy' (US term for a truncheon).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'revolving' is a reversal indicator.
'bar' becomes 'rail' (rail is a kind of bar).
'rail' back-to-front is 'liar'.
'billy'+'liar'='BILLY LIAR'

'featuring' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
