Deviance in the novel or movie? (5,2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

death in venice

'movie?' is the definition.
(I know that Death in Venice is a movie)

'deviance in the novel' is the wordplay.
'novel' indicates an anagram (letters in a new or novel order).
'deviance'+'in'+'the'='devianceinthe'
'devianceinthe' anagrammed gives 'DEATH IN VENICE'.

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for death in venice that I've seen before include "Opera by Britten based on a Thomas Mann novella" , "Mann wrote it" , "Novel by Thomas Mann" , "Thomas Mann novella set in Italy" .)
