Broken hot tap? Best cover item in film (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

top hat

'film' is the definition.
(1935 film)

'broken hot tap?' is the wordplay.
'broken' is an anagram indicator.
'hot'+'tap'='hottap'
'hottap' is an anagram of 'TOP-HAT'.

'best cover item in' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

(Other definitions for top hat that I've seen before include "Formal silk headgear" , "Posh lid" , "Upper-class" , "Item of formal wear" , "Formal headgear for man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
