Cry during 'Billy Elliot' (4)

I believe the answer is:

yell

'cry' is the definition.
('yell' can be a synonym of 'cry')

'during billy elliot' is the wordplay.
'during' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'YELL' is hidden within 'billy elliot'.

(Other definitions for yell that I've seen before include "Howl" , "Loud cry; rhymes with collapsed" , "Shetland isle" , "Shout loudly" , "Utter a sudden loud cry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
