Director Browning (3)
I believe the answer is:
tod
'director browning' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for tod that I've seen before include "Former English weight for wool - dot it" , "If you're on it, you're on your own" , "One's alone on this" , "Fox" , "Sly person" .)
