Deborah's king of cinema somewhat conciliatory, ultimately (3)
I believe the answer is:
yul
'deborah's king of cinema' is the definition.
(The King and I stars Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner)
'somewhat conciliatory ultimately' is the wordplay.
'somewhat' indicates a hidden word.
'YUL' is hidden within 'conciliatory ultimately'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
