Curing head off movie studio (6)
I believe the answer is:
ealing
'movie studio' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'curing head off' is the wordplay.
'curing' becomes 'healing' ('heal' can be a synonym of 'cure').
'head off' means to remove the first letter.
'healing' with its initial letter taken off is 'EALING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ealing that I've seen before include "English film studio famous for comedies" , "Name for British films like The Lavender Hill Mob" , "Were they genial at these London film studios?" , "Suburb with film studios" , "Classic comedy 8 studio" .)
